In essence, I would much rather see something like the JLU than Teen Titans. Obviously the tone of the show will be nothing like the JLU, but it scratches the itch in me that longs to see the aforementioned Booster Gold and Blue Beetle. While the Titans could do something like that, it wouldn't be the focus of the show - whereas it most definitely will be with The Brave and the Bold, as every week Batman will have some other partner alongside him. Blotting out? No, I'm doing no such thing. Visually, the show is cartoony. To all appearances, it's also playing up silly factor. These have nothing to do with quality.They set the tone of the show. They don't set the quality, one way or another. And in addition to Dini writing an episode, the voices of Booster and Skeets from the JLU are reprising their role for the series, and the producer and voice of Plastic Man for the never aired Plastic Man cartoon from a couple years back is also offering his voice to Plastic Man. So the show obviously has no problem drawing upon the talents of those involved with other comic shows.And, hey, hey. Again - Dini. Just one episode. But that's one writer of known quality to offer a little optimism. It's far more evidence of quality than...well, whatever reason makes you seem to think it will suck.And that reason seems to be the trailer. Which...nah. That sets the tone. Not the quality. Putting words in other peoples mouths? By no means. I said it's the best they have. There are other responses, of course - but they're mostly just naysaying, excuses, and generally worth little as reactions to the trailer go. We won't know how good the show is until it actually comes out. Just the tone, that's all. Anyone who wants to say it isn't to their taste? Fine. Anyone who says it isn't quality? Bull. It's a trailer and if you don't like the tone of the show, delightful, but saying it sucks is just a bunch of mindless drivel. Yes, there is - the most important part being kids like Batman, too. Batman the animated series? Not exactly appropriate for five year old kids. Justice League? It's definitely geared more towards a teen audience. This, meanwhile, seems clearly intended for kids 5-10. A good thing.And as for Batman trying to recover from camp? Yeah, I think The Dark Knight has adequately protected Batman from that. The idea that there isn't room enough for the grim defender of Gotham and a slightly tongue-in-cheek caped crusader is just ludicrous. There's room for plenty of different interpretations. Besides, from the line-up? Booster Gold. Blue Beetle. Plastic Man. Bat-Mite. Kite-Man. Batman can easily play the straight man and offer up some dry humor, which is entirely in character. The rest of the cast can cover everything else.Then what a delight that both of these characters are going to show up in the series. Booster, Skeets, and Jaime Reyes are all slated to show up.And, hey - if they become recognizable enough due to the show, they might not need Batman headlining for people to watch.Right now, though? A Booster Gold and Blue Beetle show is a risky proposition. Next to one knows who either of them are. Meanwhile, everyone knows who Batman is.</blockquote>
