Around the web it appears that people have many opinions about the projects coming out of the Jim Henson Company. There's the good - Fraggle Rock movie, Puppet Up, Emmet Otter stage musical and a proposed Dark Crystal sequel, the relatively new - Sid the Science Kid, Pajanamals and the Scrumps...

Has anyone mentioned the photograph of the box set contents up on Henson.com? It's under the Fraggle Disc Set link to the left. The discs look a little different with numbers rather than Fraggle faces and there does appear to be some sort of poster to the side. It's all housed in one binding so...

Oh, I hope they give us all the extra goodies from last time and keep the Kermit portions intact like the previous releases. It just makes me sad that Henson and Disney couldn't work that out. It's such a brief appearance, but historical (with Kermit's bike riding stunt and all). I believe this...

Bob Kane reportedly preferred Batman to be a loner too. I suspect Warner Brothers to continue making Batman movies even after Nolan and Bale have left. That would be when they'd bring in Robin like last time. I just don't like the idea of Robin in this telling.

Does anyone have some higher resolution images of the sample comic or a way to purchase one? I would like to get a closer look. ;)

I wouldn't oppose that. I think it would be nice to at least give West a Stan Lee sort of walk-on for the next Batman picture. I still don't see West's Batman as an actual Batman. I see him more as good, fun parody. I know others may disagree. I do know Bob Kane reportedly wasn't much of a fan...

In an alternate world where pizza is a health food, soda comes from water fountains and I am a film director...I would set my sites somewhere between Nolan and Burton's Batman, but more on the Nolan side. I prefer Tim Burton's playful visual style, but I like Nolan's adherence to the material...

Adam West & Batman I think that Adam West, however known for camp, is still very much respected in media today. The Batman honored him for four seasons as the voice of Gotham’s Mayor, Marion Grange. Batman: The Animated Series honored him as the voice of Bruce Wayne's inspiration for Batman -...

I agree. Batman is dark (cloaked mainly by night), Superman is light (the dude is charged by the sun - can't get lighter than that). Making a joking pranking Batman just isn't right. Adam West's take, while funny, was a comedic one that reflected the trippy times. I like West, but don't think...

Super-Deformer. That's it. That's what really is odd about the show from a Western perspective and breaks me out of the world they have constructed. It just causes me to roll my eyes and give up. It's not like a specific character's quirk like they give Gir in Zim. As non-linear as that show can...

I see where you're going but those are rights issues with DC within the animation realm in order to differentiate different cartoon projects (Teen Titans and The Batman). It has little or no bearing on the live action counterpart. I'm glad Batman and Wonder Woman don't appear in that program. I...

That hasn't been an issue in the past so I don't see why it would be one now. Also the film is so far in the future that such a thing wouldn't happen. The animated incarnations are treated as a different sort of animal. :halo: On another note, Jack Napier was really only a Tim Burton creation...

I think the guys behind this should have stuck to Plastic Man. It seems like the project they'd rather be doing than Batman. That's fine, but what they're doing to Bruce Wayne seems to be rolling back the progress he's made in animation for something much more campy. I like Adam West and enjoy...

There's a better one from the 90s listed on Muppet Central's archive products page that actually functions. This one doesn't appear to do so. I would think the likeness could have been painted better without articulation. It's okay and very cool to have been made, but I like the Amphibian Flyer...

But the Teen Titans characters spontaneously break into those stupid facial expressions for no apparent reason. That's what many non-anime-enthused animation fans object to. It might make sense in Japanese culture, but it really doesn’t suit the Western palette unless you are a fan of Japanese...

Lucious Fox was in Batman the Animated Series before Begins or The Batman. I don't like how this new Brave and Bold series has been pitched. It appears to me like the creators of it don't like other series. I guess it's all about personal taste in how we like to see our characters. I feel this...

The Fraggles are a very different property than the Muppets and are being handled by different companies. While the Muppets are evergreen they have always made an effort to be a part of the times. The Fraggles have their own civilization. The only thing that seems dated in the Fraggle Rock...

I agree. Television reception going digital next year will not have an impact on Fraggle Rock. :coy: Or probably Doc either. Even in outerspace it will all be new to them. Also, the director already reported that they aren't going to "Shrek" the film with pop culture references so I...

Harley is in more than two episodes of The Batman, but not nearly enough. They brought her in to late. I have all 5 seasons on DVD. I don't consider it cancelled. Most series of that sort last up to 5 seasons and then they tie things up. It was clear to me that all of the last season was going...
