I just checked out the newest collection of DC Showcase Shorts (Constantine in the House of Mystery, Kamandi, The Losers and Blue Beetle), and they were all at treat to watch. These 20-minute adventures of some of their lesser known characters have been more entertaining to me than DC's full length animated efforts in the past few years, and I really hope the Warner Bros/Discovery shakeup doesn't mean the end of them. Camelot 3000 would be a perfect place to visit in a future installment, so let's hope they continue.
That was different. Blue Beetle & The Question? And when Ted came thru the ceiling, his costume theme was reversed with the hood being light. Where was the editor?
ReplyDeleteI would have loved to have seen Red Sonja's face when Detective Chimp first spoke to her. "Time Witch"?? Hmmm.. Time Witch, Kang, Time Trapper, and ..?? The Time Barons?
Detective Tobor - I assume that was an intentional nod to those old cartoons. I remember things like Batman's black and yellow chest emblem swapping colors on occasion. Or the emblem disappearing altogether.
ReplyDelete"Time Witch" as in Glorith? Femme fatale assistant-turned-usurper of the Time Trapper? If so, I fully agree with your rationale, Ross! With her time traveling abilities, it would be all-too possible for her to create divergent counterparts of herself, a la Kang. The only difference being that some of those counterparts could very well being using "Morgan Le Fay" as an alias. Similar to how the X-men foe formerly known as "Maha Yogi" once posed as the true Merlin of Camelot!
ReplyDeleteThe lines are now open for pro-or-con rebuttal. Will our first caller be Bob Greenwade? ;-)
P.S.---sorry! That should've read "...very well be using."
ReplyDeleteI was obviously a victim of too much "Russian" ahead.
Did someone say Russian? That would make more sense for tomorrow's cover...
ReplyDeleteDetective Tobor - I agree with the first Anonymous comment. The Blue Bettle / Question short was indeed "an intentional nod to those old cartoons". That's what made it so much fun!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see a Camelot 3000 cartoon, provided the ending doesn't come more that 3 years after it begins... ;)

With all due respect to my namesake? I'd much prefer a team-up between Dane Whitman and his opposite sex namesake from Zenescope Comics.
ReplyDeleteTalk about unforeseen curves!
P.S. @ Cary: that's assuming there are any pictures of Glorith on the Internet for Ross to capture. I, personally, never even heard of her till that pre-Crisis mini-series about LSH founder R.J. Brande's long-lost son!
ReplyDelete@Anon1105: that would be 1981's "Secrets of the LEGION OF SUPERHEROES."

A talking ape shouldn't really surprise Sonja: She's already worked with Conan, after all... :D
Now, if she was meeting Howard the Duck for the first time...
