I plugged "Loonatics" into Google and got the same old announcement articles from back in February, so no official announcement of canning the show.

 

The same articles had the show premeiring for the new fall season, so we'll just have to wait and see

I remember reading those articles when they where originally posted. As a cartoon mark, it pissed me off pretty badly. It still kind of stings now.

I actually read a follow-up story. Some kid started a website, possibily saveourtoons.com or something like that...

 

Anyway, this pre-teen kid started an online petition to stop Loonatics from ruining the classic characters. Enough people signed that the Kids' WB noticed and responded. Yes, an online petition actually did something.

 

The aftermath of all of this is that Kids' WB is now classifying these characters as "new", and not a repackaging of the old Looney Tunes.

It was a good call to use lines from Sexy Losers.

 

"YOU FUCK COWS IN RETROSPECT!"

Wouldn't be the first time WB has buckled under pressure. In 2000, fans started a petition asking Warner Brothers to release the uncut version of Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker, and they finally did in early 02.

 

I'm glad they did, as that movie was kick ass.

Indeed it was. Is Batman Beyond even still on? That show was a good little spin-off of Batman, IMO.

It's not on any more. However, the lead character (Terry McGuiness/Batman) has appeared in several episode of Justice League Unlimited. The season finale of that show even featured an epilouge (that was even the name of the episode) to Batman Beyond.

And not to mention

The Phantasm

made a cameo and it was also revealed that

Bruce was Terry's father

, which was a shocker.
