for everyone of you old-school, street-cred head loyalists who cry that it would ruin the franchise, I'm willing to wager there would be a hundred (if not a thousand) four or five year-olds who would see Ninja Turtle Babies come on on Saturday morning and think it would be the most amazing thing ever.

I'm thinking of them. Not the limiting views of any one purist person's fandom.

And, it would still be funny. And totally adorable. I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY!

I don't want to see "Ninja Turtle Babies "but don't feel bad, Will. I think a TMNT show in the style of Batman: The Brave and the Bold could be entertaining for all ages. I've only seen one episode but it strikes me as a more effective concept than the early seasons of "The Batman." I like a show that understands its identity and works to make the best possible show within its own identity. Very much focused on the life lesson tale and the stand alone story, that type of show could integrate the various characters in the TMNT universe. It could be well done without taking itself too seriously and getting obsessed with angst and introspection.

And, yes, Dario's artistic designs would look great in animation!

P.S.: Muppet Babies PWNZs Saturday mornings '88!

I would prefer that the original show gets syndicated(Adult Swim preferably) over a Ninja babies show.

I just want more turtles stories that leave me feeling "blessed" and redeemed, you know? "Iron Man" left me leaving the theater feeling that way.

Whereas both of the last Batman movies (much as I loved them) left me shuffling out the theater feeling condemned and damned by fate.

And as much as I appreciate that kind of work, when done well (like in the Batman movies), I don't necessarily enjoy it.

That first Turtles film (he said, putting on his old man pants

) really mixed the two pretty much perfectly. There was humor. There was seriousness. There was great character development.

Well there are some hopeful moments in the Dark Knight. After all,

spoiler tagged just in case!

Anyway, screw Baby turtles. I wanna see them in their 30's or 40's having awkward moments at work.... you guessed it TMOT.... Teenage Mutant Office Turtles.

I do not know if a whole show would work out- other than perhaps a miniseries. But a few filler episodes would be cool. Or as added extras with the DVDs.

Bigfoot · 12-20-2008, 01:32 PM

Even the name is iffy...

If they are babies, they are no longer Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

If you made them babies, they would just be turtles right?

Or do you want them to have a whole new story where they were born as mutant ninja turtles?

Uhhh... I don't think this is such a good idea...

willtupper · 12-20-2008, 04:26 PM

Um... yes.

They get a new origin story. Splinter finds a bottle of radioactive baby formula (imported here from China or something) and, not knowing any better, feeds it both to himself and the baby turtles.

The formula allows the babies to walk upright, and talk. It doesn't make them grow, though.

So they can be Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Babies!

And a long time ago, Baby Splinter was the pet of Baby Shredder, whose real name is baby Hamato Yoshi. Baby Shredder was a horrible caretaker, all awful and selfish. That's where the TMNT Babies "mission" comes from.

Also, Baby Krang, Bebop, and Rocksteady are somehow involved. And they have a fort in their backyard! It is called THE BABY TECHNODROME!

Their babysitter is a young April O'Neil! Casey Jones is the crazy baby! YEA!!!

Make it into a TMNT one-shot special!

*gobo* · 12-20-2008, 06:09 PM

That would make a funny one-shot book, maybe even a follow-up or two. I'd never appreciate it as a continuous series though.

cMac44111 · 12-20-2008, 07:27 PM

really thought all the details through huh? How long you been thinking about this?

*Drtooth* · 12-20-2008, 07:47 PM

I wanna show where the turtles can turn into giant vacuum cleaners at will!

willtupper · 12-20-2008, 08:56 PM

What if instead of calling it "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Babies," we called it, "TINY Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?"

Then it would be kind of like the awesome and adorable DC title, "Tiny Titans:"

(I probably did that all wrong. But so what? That comic is so boss, it could choke a horse with all it's adorableness!

)

(Edit: Holy bejeezus - I nailed it!)

*Andrew NDB* · 12-21-2008, 01:48 AM

Hell, they might as well do this. The final bullet to the brain of any hope of the TMNT being taken seriously in mainstream. Ever.

In any case, I think Wild Will is having a bit of fun with you folks here.
