How Cassandra Cain Almost Got Animated

So while Cartoon Network was looking for pitches for their 52342nd Batman cartoon, they asked artist Coran Zone for sketches.

Here's what he had to say:

So James the Terrifically talented Tucker producer of “The Brave and Bold” series was starting work on the new Bat show and decided to take a chance on the new guy….Me! So I became character

"Right now the last thing I would want is another Batman show (which is why I refuse to watch the new Bat-cartoon) but this? Even just by looking at the artwork, I know I would have watched the hell out of this show."

THIS! And there's another Batman cartoon coming out? I haven't kept up, obviously.

The story I heard was like this: Brave and the Bold was fun, light hearted and gave more spotlight to poc character's than anything the Big Two managed in the last 10 years, so of course they wanted something dark n' edgier. (Because fun? what fun?)

The finale to the Brave and the Bold was one giant meta-episode where Bat-Mite 'cancelled' the show because he wanted something dark n' edgier.

This is the only scrap of news we heard on the project so far but unless the final product involves the extended Bat-Fam I'm hoping this falls through. The franchise needs a damn break already. >_>

Oh and it looks like I had a brain fart.

Cass has been animated before; albeit for a cameo appearance in Justice League. She was part of the alt. universe Bat-Fam in the episode Savage Time. The creators confirmed that the little girl playing with Tim was Cass.

Check out my edit to the post for image.

(a Bat-cartoon got canned for being too dark and grim? I need a drink and figure out what kind of alternate universe I've ended up in.)

I've had a couple of drinks and this still doesn't compute! :p

Well...umm...at least there is some semblance of logic there right? That they want to do something different should be good news right?

[kittenmommy]

Yeah... but Batman was pretty much always dark and grim. So IDK how this would be a major change.

Well, the artist does mention 'No Man's Land' perhaps that a Batman story set in an earthquake zone would be too much for the censors?
