Todd, exactly. They're were worried about the similarities between Gargoyles and Batman: TAS, then Disney mention Gotham two or three times.

"Metropolis" you can get away with. Gotham is way more identifiable with Batman. The only way you wouldn't pay attention to the connection is if you were some stuffy theatre-loving aristocrat who doesn't own a television or a computer or anything. (Although they did do a musical of Spider-Man, bridging the gap a little.)

Blizzard always comes up with an elaborate hoax or two in honor of April Fool's Day, but I see that that video came out a few days before.

I must say that as a fan of both Gargoyles and World of Warcraft, I'm pretty stoked for World of Warcraft: Traveler.

You really would have to be a fool to live in modern Gotham City considering how many serial killers, crime lords and other psychopaths dwell there.

Let's also never re-release Fritz Lang's "Metropolis". Or at least re-title it. Maybe Osamu Tezuka shouldn't have made a 2001 animated film titled "Metropolis" either. How many people are going to hear that word and not think Superman?

Sorry for the double-post, but Gotham goes all the way back to medieval England, where it was the name of a medieval village with the reputation of having the most foolish inhabitants in the country. (Though some accounts claim that the people of Gotham weren't really that foolish; they just pretended to be in order to discourage King John from building a hunting lodge nearby.)

Count me as another who's almost completely ignorant on "World of Warcraft" - but, yes, the book would be worth reading if by Greg.

I checked the back cover of my own "Gargoyles Season Two Volume Two" DVD and couldn't find the "guardians of Gotham" part. Maybe I've a different edition.

Hmm... this didn't post before. Strange.

Greg's a great writer so I'll be interested to see what he does with it. I don't know anything about WoW and it doesn't intrinsically interest me but, then again, nor did Star Wars or the DC universe particularly. It sounds like it should make sense to a newcomer.

And, as Masterdramon says, hopefully it will raise the profile of "Rain".

Incidentally, I just started watching S2V2 on DVD. I've had the DVD for... goodness knows how long (well, since it was released) but never actually got round to looking at it. It's got a bizarre back cover blurb ("Gotham's guardians"?!) and a focus on monsters (perhaps because the first episode was called "Monsters"?).

Still, the DVDs themselves have nice cover menus. And it's ironic that the first one in the collection should be "Monsters". This was the only episode I was unable to tape when the show aired originally.

As a result, while I've watched the other canon episodes so often that I know them inside out, I've only watched "Monsters" twice before. Watching it now was a real delight because, while I knew the gist of the story, there were whole scenes I had completely forgotten. Joyful.

I may know almost nothing about the world/lore of World of Warcraft, but I'll definitely be picking this book up all the same.

Because the success of another young adult fantasy novel penned by Greg Weisman can only mean good things for the chances at more Rain books, and I want those very, very, very badly.

Congrats on the gig, Greg!

@Anna - Nothing official has been announced regarding Season 3 of YJ. The best thing to do is to stream the episodes off of Netflix over and over again. Or buy the Blu-rays. Both could potentially get the attention of the powers that be and the decision could be made to revive the series.

Speaking of reviving series, GARGOYLES fans, get your wallets ready:

Obviously we need to donate more to the CONvergence funding drive and watch more YJ on Netflix and buy more copies of the Rain books so we can get more to talk about.

Also, only going to five prevents me from making cracks about being perfect at six, so I'm sure that's a plus.

FIVE (the new TEN in the 2010s?)

Todd: Managing to only accomplish the countdown/up and then going silent might more be a side-effect of those not wanting to interrupt the whole count-thing before conversing and/or not seeing much time to discuss things when the week is about to wipe. So maybe a shortened-version would spruce things up?
