Good News! AQUAMAN is getting an ANIMATED SERIES! Bad News! It looks like THIS!

I suppose they think Harley Quinn hits the adults okay so this is why this is focused on the kids? Aren't they also returning to the BTAS universe with a new project did I hear?

And Young Justice, which can now show off dead bodies, main characters getting mutilated, and actual sex (not that I'm necessarily criticizing the show for any of that).

wow, so straight up Rick and Morty, we'll see what the reviews say but this looks like a hard pass.

Ricky and Morty looks better than this.

I gotta start watching Young Justice. Is it on HBOMax or pornhub?

Wait ... they went from kid's show to hard R?

I wouldn't say it's Hard R. More hard PG-13 at times if anything.

Personally I'm just sad that DCAU-esque cartoons for all ages seem to have fallen out of favor with the Big Two companies.

Now they seem to view stuff in the vein of the Timm-era as exclusively for adults.

I wonder if that might have some weird link to the way the films have taken that role. My niece and nephew are both very young and have watched the MCU and DC movies already without even my mom (the grandma) having an issue with it.

Disney might honestly make a bit of sense in that I don’t think any of their attempts to have a companion cartoon series like the MCU ever worked that well, as it usually got so outshone in quality and popularity by the MCU is would get forgotten. The various attempts to launch a Spider-Man cartoon once they got those rights (and killed Spectacular) without getting as much buy-in may have left them feeling burned.

With Warner Bros... it feels like they should be fairly confident they can manage it without the dichotomy between types of shows.

I still fundamentally don’t think that young children require “dumb” cartoons - the sheer amount of content that TTG! has and the cheaper production costs would justify preferring making it over TT if I were an executive, but that doesn’t mean it has to be dumb as well. I feel that’s maybe just some self-perpetuating misguided arguments in the industry right now.

He was a joke when he sat on lasso and confessed his feelings, He was a joke when he runs around scream "wahooooo". That was on the big screen is it bad that Aquaman is little bit goofy surfer bro at times? No that makes him entertaining and works in his favor actually. But fans seem think that Jason Momoa scowling and Johns run can erase all the time aquaman seems like a goofy concept. Even Johns played with the joke a little to subvert it.

No those are jokes in a movie they don't make AM a joke anymore than Ironman or any other MCU hero who do the same basic jokes.

So DC wants to go a in a different direction here. okay, I can deal. it's not like DC needs to prove themselves to anyone when it comes to animted movies or series.

this show will not appeal to me. so I hope it is enjoyed by its targeted audience.

Yeah, I noticed that too. No offense to those who like it but I hate Rick & Morty I find the show overly pretentious and frankly not very funny. So, if this is going to be like that in style (beyond artwork) I have another reason not to watch.

I vehemently disagree that ANY artist that draws like that is trained. That's the kind of drawing a kid does in Third Grade.

My youngest is in the 3rd grade and she drew better than that in prep (pre 1st grade)

[9th.]

I know it's aimed kids and thats the type of shows this generation grew up on but I can't do it. I've been asking for a Aquaman animated series for so long and this is what we get.

Most people don't read comics - many watch Family Guy...

We have Family Guy to thank for the direction Marvel went with Iceman. It was just a cutaway gag Marvel, it wasn't meant to be taken seriously.
