Da Cap'n 2099 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 DC Entertainment has reported today that DC Comics will be rebooting various Hanna-Barbera cartoons in the upcoming year. Included in the reboot are new takes on beloved series Wacky Races, Jonny Quest, The Flintstones, and Scooby-Doo; each of which will be updated to appeal to teen-plus audiences. http://www.allthenerds.com/dc-comics-to-reboot-hanna-barbera-characters/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Nemo McFly Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Glad someone is doing something with these iconic properties! I was watching the Jetsons last night ('62 run) and wondering when the hell are we getting a live-action version. It all looked cool 'cept for Scooby-Doo. What the hell? Are they Ghostbusters now? Is Shaggy supposed to be Dr. Strange? Or some hipster youtuber? LOL - what's going on there? Need more info. Initially, I thought the Flintstones was off-putting, but it's just a different art style - not an entire character / concept design revamp like the 'Doo team. Wacky Race Land is a damn brilliant idea: the whole Hanna-Barbara universe in a Cannonball Run-type race...as a series?! Brilliant. I love the Hanna-Barbara universe. I got me the Herculoids figure-set of 3 that combine into a lovely display, sitting on top of my toy shelf. (Not my pic - google pic) I'd be all over these TPBs if they come out.

Da Cap'n 2099 Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 I am, absolutely, down for more Space Ghost. That mini DC did way back was great. It's gonna be fun to see what they do with Hanna-Barbera's superhero properties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iambaytor Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) These look like Deviant-Art pages, I'm a huge Whacky Races fan but I don't know. Future Quest looks great though, even though I'm not sure I can take Brak or Zorak seriously ever again.

The NZA Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 it is cool to see something done with these properties (hell, Waid's doing a great Archie run, why not?), but ive never been able to get into Space Ghost like i'd like to outside his classic talk show...hopefully this one brings me around!

C_U_SPACECOWBOY Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I am all for some classic Space Ghost. Anyone remember the USA Cartoon Express block? Man, I used to watch the hell out of that. Space Ghost and Herculoids were my favorites! I have two gripes: 1) Those Scooby Doo designs 2) Needs more Blue Falcon and Dynomutt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Cap'n 2099 Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 I just looked at the Scooby Doo pic up close and was shocked to see it was done by Jim Lee! Worst Jim Lee art. Ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USA Cartoon Express FTW! Hell yeah, dude! I remember when it got to point where the Ninja Turtles, Real Ghostbusters and Scooby were all onboard together. That train ended up turning into a massive cartoon mash-up. Dynomutt and Blue Falcon...they totally gotta do something w/ that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 wow, yeah, fair call - and i can't help but wonder if afterlife with archie/chilling tales of sabrina's success pushed this along in some way also: down for more blue falcon & dynomutt both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
