Casey Jones in Season 2

[BubblyShell22]

Yeah, I agree. I don't see him as a total dropout. But if he's eighteen in this series, then it stands to reason that he's at least graduated high school.

Didn't they say awhile back that he would be 18?

Because that man-child image of him tends to sticks. Fortunately, it's easier to deal with, when the character is a teenager and thus can be more legitimately care-free in his bashing around with Raph, rather than to take responsibilty and be a normal adult. (Can't have that, as being normal is April's role.) Some ways, that was one of City At War's strengths and the issues leading up to it, as all that forced him to grow up and fast. The medium allowed him to do that, when he wouldn't be allowed to in others (as dead pregnant girlfriend is a kid cartoon no-no).

At most, I expect him to get pass high school, and possibly do what IDW did with him: on a scholarship with the fear of low grades looming above. Or, depending on his age, make him a college dropout, as that's less of a stigma when compared to the high school equivalent.

I'll cross my fingers they'll keep some traits from the first movie, as the first movie, flaws aside, nailed Casey perfectly. Some traits are harder to translate than others (i.e., the homophobia), but it isn't impossible, either.

Who does everybody want to hear do Casey's voice?

I'm thinking Josh Keaton would make a great teenaged CJ. Think less Peter Parker and more Hal Jordan.

That would be cool. I can totally picture that.

Casey is goingto need a New York accent as well.

I'm glad there's talk of a season 2 all the same.

$60mil for just one season of a show would be a dumb move even by Nick's standards. They'll force-feed their audience the second season, if necessary.

I don't expect brains per se, but don't make him an idiot and I'll be fine.

I definitly agree with you on that! As much as people complain about 4Kids Mikey being annoying, I thought 4Kids Casey was a retard! Hopefully the Nick version will be on the smarter side!

I'm okay with 2k3 Casey, he had good moments on the show.

What homophobia?

[gobo]

KM misspelled "claustrophobia". Simple mistake...
