I've enjoyed Black Panther's appearances as a team member or guest star in various Fantastic Four and Avengers cartoons, and thought that the Marvel Knights motion comics featuring him were pretty cool as well. I think it's time T'Challa receives an animated series all his own. There are no shortage of interesting supporting characters, villains and guest stars that could be part of the show and the Wakandan setting would make it unique among most superhero shows.
This is the third meeting between Batman and Black Panther on the blog. They last faced some diplomatic difficulties in in STF #1553, and originally appeared together on one of the very first covers made for the blog from back in April of 2010...
Black Panther had a cartoon in 2010
ReplyDeleteThose were the motion comics that I mentioned.
ReplyDeleteHere's a request on behalf of Bob Greenwade. Scooby Doo and his owner meeting that other Shaggy for an adventure entitled...
ReplyDelete"Rit Ruzn't Re!"
If we have a King and a Knight, they need to team up next with Bishop, Insect Queen, and... hm... I don't know who'd be the rook.
ReplyDeleteThat theme can be subverted, though, given the immense number of variant chess pieces that exist.
@Cary: I actually have no idea who "that other Shaggy" is that you've been referring to.
If there was ever a combo to be teamed, this is it. Brave & Bold x 2 it is.
ReplyDeletewhat a neighborhood.
@Bob Greenwade: He sings that hip-hop song "It Wasn't Me." And, as for a rook? There's the dimension-hopping swashbuckler from Harris Publications (of "Vampirella" fame). Plus, DC's Jim Rook aka The Nightmaster.
ReplyDeleteSorry, Bob. That should read "Warren Publications."
ReplyDelete#Ross: when you say "motion comic," do you mean the style of animation like that seen in the vintage animated series "Clutch Cargo" and the syndicated Marvel cartoons from the early 1960's?
ReplyDeleteYeah, basically where they take the existing comic art and animate it. The BP show did it well.
ReplyDeleteThanks! :-)
ReplyDeleteMagnificent. If I may make a suggestion, what about Superman versus David Xanatos, from Gargoyles?
ReplyDelete@Joe Money: with Xanatos wearing a gargo-skeleton made of kryptonite?
ReplyDelete@Anonymous1016: can you imagine Norman Osborn stealing one of those exo-skeletons and calling himself "The Green Gargoyle"?
ReplyDelete@Cary: wasn't that originally a Golden Age superhero from Holyoke Comics?
ReplyDeleteOh, I don’t know, Carycomic. Like with Goliath, Xanatos would see Superman as a long-term asset rather than an adversary. He’d probably seek a way to reverse-engineer the Kryptonian solar energy absorption for himself. Calling Anton Sevarius…
ReplyDelete@Anon1257: perhaps.
