???

Archer is easily the best (animated comedy) on TV right now = possibly true
Archer is easily the (best animated) comedy on TV right now = definitely not true

Ambiguous wording is ambiguous!

Definitely the former on that one.

I know the next Batman animation coming out is an adaptation of Year One (which should be great), but I'd love to see Dimaggio return as The Joker in a good adaptation of The Long Halloween or The Killing Joke.
Great movie. One of the better DC Animated movies. And I'm not even a huge Batman fan, so that's saying a lot.
Jason Todd made that movie for me. I actually found myself siding with his thinking even though he's the villain. I love Batman, but I do believe that every person who dies each time he lets the Joker live should be on his conscience. I loved Jason's badass attitude and I think it's a shame there was no interaction between him and Nightwing

Now that you mention it, there never is in the comic books, either. Nightwing and Tim Drake-Robin interact A LOT, but I can't recall one time that Nightwing (whether it be in Dick's Robin, Batman, or Nightwing persona) has interacted with Jason Todd.

Awesome! Now we just need something like this for Regular Show, if there isn't already one.

What do you think of the later stuff? Personally I thought 1 & 2 were brilliant, less so 3-5 and even Kricfalusi's Adult Party...
I don't know what I think of seasons 3-5, because I haven't seen them in 13 years. I have no intention of ever watching Adult Party. That stuff is just wrong, and it's not even that funny, I've heard.
I think the problem with Adult Party was actually John K himself. The Fun of the first seasons was this subversive idea that they were sneaking in dirty jokes into a kids cartoon, and ones that kids got to some degree. When you put limits on something you often get a pbetter result, since it acts like a filter.

When it came to adult party there were no limits, no filters, so everything went out the door. Most of it shouldn't have. It's worth watching because it is the cartoon that John K wanted to make in its raw form, but it only helps to affirm how much the other writers, designers contributed to that series, like Bob Camp.

There isn't one yet, but it's a more recent show, so it doesn't surprise me.

Anyone else watching the new Thundercats tonight? I'm really looking forward to it.
