My thoughts I'm not an avid comics reader, but I cherish Gotham Adventures #1-12. They are among my favorite reads ever. The best thing about Ty was that he truely understood the concept of Gotham Adventures: to capture the atmosphere of Gotham City by telling stories about Batman and his...

I've launched a new website at the WB Archives here at Toonzone called Voice, home to various editorial columns on WB Animation productions. It is located at http://wba.toonzone.net/voice I'm eager to hear what you think. If any of you are interested in becoming future contributors, email...

Tom Hanks That good to hear - I'm glad Perdition is fairing alright with all the competition. About 10 minutes of the movie was filmed in my town, so I feel a certain loyalty to it. I'm going to go see it tomorrow!

I'm interested in starting to read the "Superman" comic book title, and I absolutely loved the first issue I picked up (183 - "Clark Kent, You're Fired!) but I was wondering if anyone could fill me in on what's been happening up to this point. What is the big secret? Lastly, is it possible to...

I don't know if this has been posted about, but I have to say that the Animated Batman genre is alive and well when in Jason Hall's hands. His Mr. Freeze issue is the first issue to contain character development since Ty Templeton wrote the series. This one truely deserved to be number 50. I...

Conan Being a writer for the Simpsons does not constitue one as a cartoonist. Writing for the simpsons is like writing for any tv show, unlike the classic warner bros. days in which the writers were artists and no scripts were written! So I don't think I'd call Conan a cartoonist unless he has...

Once a year, the doors of the Rosemont Convention Center in Chicago open to legions of fans eager to submerge themselves deep into the diverse word of pop-culture. The annual Wizard World convention is truly a multi-media event, covering animation, comic books, gaming and even wrestling. Wizard...

Archie's picks The Warners Best cartoon: Ups and Downs Sure, it only has Wakko, but it captures his character perfectly in placing him in a funny situation instead of giving him someone to annoy. Paul Rugg at his best. Best song: Tie: "A Quake, A Quake" and "Wakko's Two Note Song"...

Best of A! Wow, I'm impressed, Jamie! I agree that McClenahan was an asset to the show. He told me that for a while he even had an office at WBA. Startoons did my favorite work on Animaniacs, how ironic it is that WB was the start of that studio and the end of that studio. Looking back...

I cannot for the life of me obtain a list of the Annie award winners from 1990-1995. Can anyone here help?

just because Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain won't find an audience with today's kids. They need to be marketed towards adults and nostalgic college students - and 3 in the afternoon won't get that audience any more than 5 in the morning. If you ask me they belong in a block, as suggested...

StarToons, Animaniacs director Jon McClenahan talks toons with TZ <img src="http://wba.toonzone.net/mcclenahan/jon.gif" align="right" hspace="5">The Warner Bros. Animation Archive, a hosted site at Toon Zone, recently caught up with Animaniacs director and StarToons founder Jon McClenahan to...

Sophie's choice First I clicked "perchance to dream" and voted and then my browser froze on me. So I came back and decided to vote for "two-face" instead... and now I'm not sure which of my votes went through! Oh well - both are great eps. Waiaminute... all are great eps.... Oy! -Arch

Cool beans My father is a geologist - so I got lots of that rock stuff growing up. I'm glad you had fun! PS- ever been to Corning? -Archie

Happy Birthday! Many happy returns! Happy birthday to our favorite Net-Harlequin! Thanks for all these years of sharing your joy with this world of fans. Tell me how your fossil hunt goes! Where are you going?

NPR addicts annonymous Scott Simon cracks me up. There are actually a lot of WB stories that pop up over the years - did you hear that WB Cartoon Music story that ran last summer? I taped it - I really enjoyed it.

Heroes We all have heroes. Chuck Jones was mine. He influenced me before I was even old enough to truely appreciate the artistic genious behind his art. As I child I grew up watching Warner Bros. Cartoons, and as I grew up I began to realize that all my favorites were directed by "Charles M...

The Warner Bros. Animation Archive has officially released the much anticipated Exclusive Paul Dini Interview. It is available for viewing at http://wba.toonzone.net/dini - check it out today! The Warner Bros. Animation Archive http://wba.toonzone.net

The Warner Bros. Animation Archive is releasing an exclusive interview with Batman Beyond writer/producer Paul Dini on Monday night, October 8. In it Dini openly discusses Return of the Joker, cartoon censorship, his career and the future of WB Animation. We offer you this preview: The...

Apologies on the Dini delay I spent four hours today finishing transcribing the Dini interview from the 3rd. I'd planned on finishing it up Saturday night, but ended up loading couches into a pick-up 15 miles away... long story ;-) The problem is that I typed it up on my home computer, but...

My life peaked at 3 in the afternoon today, folks. Paul Dini and I spent a little over half an hour discussing WB Animation, Cartoon Network, Kids' WB, censorship and natural history... and I think there will be some information that is pleasing to many fans. I video taped the interview (even...

I got home the other day and the most amazing and humbling thing happened to me: Paul Dini had left a message on my machine, returning my call. THE Paul Dini. This, to me, is the equivelent of Micheal Jordon calling me up and saying , "Hey man, let's chat!" So it's going to happen, folks...

I called him today! I thought I'd suprise you guys and call him up today. He was out of his office, but I spoke to his secretary and whe's going to call me back to set up a date! Expect it this october ;-)

Belated interview I happened to visit the boards today and catch this post. I'm sorry I haven't been around much as of late. I experienced a failed closing on a house this summer and am still trying to get back into routine. With that said, I simply have not had the time to conduct the...

I'm hanging in there, guys. I've settled in to a home *I'm no longer homeless =)* and I welcome the prospect of routine. It is a wonderful aspect of my life that has been missing for the past three months. I look forward to returning to the WB Archives as webmaster and really turning out some...

Everybody knows that American Pie (2)'s main audience is 14-20 year olds... though technically only 18+ audiences *should* be seeing it. What happens is either ticket rules aren't enforced - or young teens just sneek right in. So my theory is: Teens buy tickets for films deemed "cool" (ie PG13)...

Not that anyone noticed... but I've been away from the boards for last week, and it shall continue to be this way for the coming week. This summer I experienced a failed closing on a house, which has forced me to live out of a suitcase since July 7. I've been living with various friends and...

Vince - you're a mod... can you add an extra "r" to "Farrelly"? My mistake...:D

The Marketing Execs ignorantly blame the 2D animation - but what was the real problem? Tell me what you think!

It is freakin chilling! (ducks and runs) I love those ads too!

Yay! Harley and Brian and Colin - Thank you for investing in the lives of sooo many fans!

NPR broadcasted a special program today on the music of Looney Tunes, featuring Shirley Walker, composer, orchestrator, and conductor for the animated Batman and Superman series; and Daniel Goldmark, professor of musicology at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. Listen to it here...

Don't worry about it No one is criticizing you - Gookie just brings up the point that the best way to connect with the guy is to ask him questions that he doesn't answer everyday (or for that matter, aviods answering). Questions about his favorite books and the like would be my best bet.

Paul Dini will appear in the Kevin Smith film "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back", which opens August. Dini can be found in the last third of the film, he cameos as a teamster during the filming of "Bluntman and Chronic". Dini told audiences at Wizard World that director Kevin Smith called several...

It's Kevin Smith we're talking about For a guy so much a part of pop culture, the child could only be named after the crown princess of crime... Harley! I just remembered what Paul Dini said about his cameo in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back! I think I'll go post it on the newsboard.

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain Yeah - last year at the Wizard Con, our pal behind CC took a question I asked Paul Dini at the panel and rewrote it, using "Paul Dini told the [website name removed] that..." I make no bones about that fact that my (and Dick Grayson's, to an...

Swaroop! I voted Swaroop - not only was it my favorite short but if it is chosen it could revive WB Animation! I have a link to a clip somewhere, does anyone want it? I only saw four of the pilots - the losers just end up on the Whatacartoon show.
