A New BATMAN Series From WB'!

Hi, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab...

Oh, boy... this is discouraging. I know that WB TV has at least one show coming up that I want to see, and that’s because I’ve seen some of the storyboards for the new DUCK DODGERS series, and I’ve talked with some of the people behind it. Sounds like a really, really funny show. But this other show that WB is allegedly gearing up on... well, should we be nervous? Today’s scooper seems to think so:

Harry,

This madness must end! Make it stop!

Hello again, I'm the animation producer who tipped you off to the Clone Wars animated series quite a while back. As you saw when Cartoon network announced the series, I was right on the money.

Well I'm back with a scoop that will make you and all fandom shudder. So far I haven't seen any news of this anywhere.

WB is going into production on a new BATMAN series. Sounds exciting, right? Not so fast. The series will be title BATMAN WIRED--the twist this time is that the caped crusader (I think from original series continuity) has donned a high-tech suit of armor. This is no hoax! They're doing this! Sounds like a crass ploy to sell more of those awful toys with Bats in various battle armors.

Some of the same people behind STATIC SHOCK are doing this, and there’s no Bruce Timm involved this time so far as I know. Clearly the suits have taken over.

Just a tip.

Okay... I’m going to call around and see what I can learn about this one. If it pans out, we’ll let you know.

"Moriarty" out.
