Do you think we're going to get Bishop on the show?

*Papenbrook* · 07-06-2015, 08:06 AM

In my opinion, I don't think I need Bishop to be on the show. I know some people want him on the show, but I don't just see the point. The creators could just create more interesting villains to develop the world-building. Also, the show needs to try to stand on its own merrits. It can't keep rehashing the same elements over and over again.

That is my opinion on the matter. What is yours? Discuss below.

I voted "I don't know" i'd like for him to appear but i fear they will probably change him from a badass alien-hating Men in Black-esque human who can hold his own against the Turtles, Splinter, Hun, and the Shredder into a completly different character like they did to Hun.

*Foombamaroom* · 07-06-2015, 09:38 AM

^With the EPF already established as an organization in this show, I think that if they do Bishop, he will be similar to his TV show counterpart. Thing is, he needs to be a big bad for the season, not just one or two episodes.

*CyberCubed* · 07-06-2015, 12:26 PM

If he is anywhere as altered as Hun was I'd rather not see him at all. He would be the same in name only and that's it.

Oh that Cubed.

I'd rather his characterization stays the same like in the 2003 series, but I wouldn't have a problem if his country is different from America. Just keep him the same well written character and I say bring him. He would need to be an arc though, not simply a one time to minor villain like Hun is currently.

For that matter, if there is a season 5 coming, I could see him as the main villain there or wait in the second half of season 4 alongside Dregg as another main villain.

*snake* · 07-06-2015, 01:02 PM

Yes! He's probably the best OC from 4kids and I'd love to see him get another appearence.

Who knows. Maybe he won't be the leader of the EPF. He also might be a character in name only. I would rather have Bishop be in name only than be a complete rehash.

MutantBear · 07-06-2015, 02:18 PM

I'd like him, but I'm afraid they might butcher it. Also, I want them to finish a few arcs before they start all the Bishop stuff.

Either way, it would be interesting to see Nick's take on Bishop.

But that would be taking away important elements about him. That's like making Hun someone who isn't the leader of The Purple Dragons. You have to use some elements of a character when re imagining them.

*victory_angel* · 07-06-2015, 03:46 PM

Maybe Bishop could be a code name, and other people with him have chess centric code names for strategies and people.

Such as for example, if Dirk Savage is working with Bishop as person to round up mutants and capture them. He could have one point where he says "Knight to Bishop..."

*BubblyShell22* · 07-06-2015, 04:28 PM

I'd love to see him in the show and to see what he would be like. So, yeah, I'd love to see him. And I like your little theory about code names, VA. That would be neat, too.

*victory_angel* · 07-06-2015, 05:25 PM

If Bishop was included in the cast I could see him being voiced by two people.

Steve Blum and Jeff Bennett both have done voices for Nick shows such as Legend of Korra and Steve was the voice of Speed Demon on TMNT. And Jeff is friends with Rob Paulsen, Rob has even commented that he feels lucky to know and work with an amazing talent such as him.

Both of them would be good for the roles of Bishop and Dirk Savage equally.

Here's a clip of Blum playing Amon on Korra, and Jeff Doing his Darth Reven. I swear to god I can hear Bishop in both of them.

Steve Blum as Amon

Jeff Bennett as Darth Revan He appears roughly at roughly 1:30 to 2:00 into the video.

I honestly feel like Steve Blum would be the perfect Bishop just because of his role as Amon.

Ryanator008 · 07-07-2015, 10:24 PM

Bishop was my favorite character in the 2003 series. That said, it seems like it's so often forgotten these days that he probably doesn't have a chance.

BLUM FOR BISHOP!

I think it would be awesome if they put Bishop on the show. As long as he runs the EPF, wears his awesome black coat and glasses and is badass then I'm fine what they decide to do with him. Steve Blum would make a great villain. He's already had several voices on the show

*NinjaPug* · 07-12-2015, 01:53 PM

At SDCC, Brandon and Ciro said the last part of Season 4 deals with humans (part of an anti-mutant group) fighting mutants and that we'd be seeing more of the EPF. They're definitely setting it up for Bishop to appear.

*MikeandRaph87* · 07-12-2015, 01:58 PM

I would much rather have him appear in IDW between the two cyrrent iterations. However, I see it making a little more sense to appear in the Nicktoon when the Kraang show up again. He could have been a student of Kurtz or in a twist and playing on John Bishop's longevity Kurtz was his protegee u til thry had some falling out.

*Metalwolf* · 07-12-2015, 02:14 PM

I have a feeling he's going to be in, likely he'll be a main villain of season 5.

*sdp* · 07-12-2015, 02:27 PM

At this point I want him just to have the character not become forgotten and just a foot note of an obscure character even if he's radically changed. The Nick show already ruined a bunch of characters so why not one more. At least many characters Nick has been reviving means that they aren't "obscure" characters anymore and be used in later incarnations.

*Vicky82* · 07-12-2015, 02:34 PM

Looks like Bishop could appear as it was mentioned on the panel that in Season 4 the mutants will be exposed to the media and there will be humans vs Mutants and the EPF will appear again.
