Yeah but not till '95.Will Batman forever be a thing under Columbia pictures
And will joel Schumacher be in chargeYeah but not till '95.
Don't forget classic episodes of Speed Racer and Marine Boy, plus a whole lot of movies.Warner Freeform is probably also running the post-1950 Warner Bros. cartoon catalog.
(Game shows and Looney Tunes, why does that sound like the kind of network that I would spend many a sick day, summer day, or weekend watching.)
Schumacher wanted his Batman films to be darker but Warner Bros was in full damage control after Batman Returns. So not only were the films not entirely Schumacher's fault, but the late director also went on record apologizing for them.I hope not.
Quick question. Has Disney tasked Marvel with translating the manga their anime dubs are based on at any point? I'm genuinely curious about this.
I feel like Sky Channel America is going to be rebranded in 3.........2.....1.
I'd presume Warner Freeform is running the entire Merv Griffin Enterprises back-catalog, essentially turning it into an early GSN.

Groundhog Day comes out in '93 so yeah.There was a famous comedy writer named Bob Elliott. He had a popular radio show named Bob & Ray. He was the father of SNL's Chris Elliott. Chris was in Groundhog Day. Would it be possible (even though this question is a few years premature) for Bob Elliott to have a cameo in Groundhog Day?
Did you get my idea for the riddler @OldNavy1988The first manga translation was Candy Candy under the Harvey imprint in 1980. The Urusei Yatsura manga has been translated by Marvel since 1985.
And let's not forget that future episodes of Wheel and Jeopardy! will be taped on the Warner backlot.

And one more thing, Ranma 1/2 will be the last Fox anime dub to feature the classic closing logo:
And the first to feature a new CGI logo:
No I didn't. Sorry.Did you get my idea for the riddler @OldNavy1988
1: In other words, they've tasked both Marvel and Harvey with this accomplishment? That's perfect!The first manga translation was Candy Candy under the Harvey imprint in 1980. The Urusei Yatsura manga has been translated by Marvel since 1985.
