Because it sucked. Superheros are mostly boring, the only cool superhero is SuperTed.

Yeah BATS was probably one of the best cartoons ever.
Alot of the good cartoons are going away. They cancel Teen Titans, Justice League, etc. To replace them with shows like chowder, adventure time, regular show.
To me thats a disgrace, hate that kids are growing up on those shows now. But its cause those shows sell/are more popular.
You can relate this to Anime with "Moe"
Lucky star was a huge hit so they kept making more Moe shows. Adventure time, And the Regular show and the like are becoming huge so we are bound to get more of that shit.


Im a Devil's advocate. Its just too fun.

you watch your mouth boy,superheroes are still cool.But if you're not into them that's understandable.Anime tried the superhero thing with tiger and bunny but wasn't that good,they even copied joker and harley quinn lol

I honestly would rather have a show like Ed Edd N Eddy end with grace and remembrance to be replaced with shit like Chowder, than have a good show like Spongebob continue to the grave.



That sucked.

See thats my point though, they canceled Young Justice. Then they replaced it with Teen Titans Go! Why would they do that? Gah.
I really liked Teen Titans but this new show is a disgrace.

ATLA & LoK are both fantastic. Making a new season of LoK cant wait!

I see what you mean. It just annoys me when they cancel a good show for something dumb.
Take this for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7fR6gLQ2C8
This would have been a pretty cool show to watch growing up. But cause of a dumb reason they canceled it, and showed something else instead. Depressing.

Me too. That would be pretty cool. Doubt it though.
Id prefer justice league over batman beyond, Justice league had some amazing episodes.
And hmm, I havnt seen this. Although the new DC movie did just come out called The Flashpoint Paradox. I think im going to go watch that now thanks for reminding me.

Exactly. So irritating.
They should bring that show back. I mean it is a new show, plus I think america as a whole is capable of handling that section of the show. And If not they could always edit it out. The real problem is legal stuff but still.
Id much rather have my kids watch that then most stuff on TV now.

Yeah. No reason not to have shows like that. But nah, let's give FRED, of all people, a show. We'll make it better, let's give The Annoying Orange his own show. That's what people want to see!

This is why you shouldn't take LSD.

It wasn't that creepy. I was gonna post more videos but I couldn't find any that were 'watchable quality'...the doctor/barber was the real creepy one.

Batman: TAS had some 'dark' moments, it's also a really well written series too best episode would be "Heart of Ice".

Animated DC is really good.

Others, less serious vibe than something like BB and I consider 'dark':
Courage the Cowardly Dog, Samurai Jack, Invader Zim

There was also that one ep of Spongebob where everyone in town left him to go to the we all hate spongebob festival or something. Anyway he was completely isolated and made a replica of Patrick out of Krabby Patties. Then he proceeded to stick his hand into it to make his mouth move so they could talk to each other.
