Should we be worried for the B&B toon toyline?

    Ah that sucks! I'm sure the erratic scheduling has hurt the show's following somewhat.

    On the plus side, the episode they showed was possibly the greatest thing I've ever seen.
    Do tell....who was in the episode?

      Wow, this is depressing. The Batman, which is pretty much forgotten and didn't do much for anybody gets 5 seasons, but B&B only gets 3 at most?

      All of this talk about DC/Hollywood synergy, somone needs to kick CN's head honchos in the posterier. They take off a hit show like B&B and promote the living crap outta shows like Generator Rex and more and more Ben 10. Both shows are fine, but why not give Batman, WB's cash cow, some love?

      Going back to the launch of B&B, they promoted Secret Saturdays MUCH much more than B&B. It made it to one season and a toyline that was completely clearanced out, and is still clogging up shelves.

      Arghh!!!

      If the new Batman toon is a continuation of BTAS with Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamil in tow, this may make up for losing B&B, but I doubt it.

        This is absolutely the best cartoon on CN, and they cancel it?

        To make room for more non-cartoon movies and Family Guy reruns?

        How about actually SHOWING the series every week at THE SAME TIME? Ditto cancelling the comic, which was better than about 75% of all other DC product...heck, even Grant Morrison just said it's his favorite DC book to read!

        I hate this channel.

          I'm not sure if CN cancelled it or it was simply agreed to bring it to an end. I'll find out.

            Confirmed by Sam Register. They decided to bring it to an end after 65 episodes. Classy move, IMO. Go out while it's creatively strong.

                Any hope for a B&B-esque animated feature?

                  I'm disapointed with the Announcement.
                  It seems as if ever Since BTAS ..., no other toon has been as great.
                  But yet, they seem to always try and re-invent the character, with a new cartoon ..., which, whenever it really starts to get good,... it gets canceled. They need to invest more time into a cartoon, marketing, and merchandise...., and let it go for 5 yrs or so, and see where it goes.

                    I agree....B&B is one of the best cartoons I think they've ever done for the DCU...I actually like it better than JLU
