His powers come froM the internet, right? Surely he has mutated into some unknowable, formless eldritch abomination by now if that’s what he was like in the late 90s
I'VE SET MY PAGER TO VIBRATE MY BOTTOM
Honestly the show felt really ahead of its time.
Here’s concept art from Bruce Timm when it was supposed to be an action comedy show.
Another show that appealed to a much older demographic then Kids WB wanted.
I don't remember shit from this show. I just remember there being a really hot blonde girl.
1) It IS set in the DCAU and he's in the DC Multiverse somewhere, since they own him.
2)He would be really interesting these days because having Internet-based powers now would make him an unstoppable god.
3)This would be a badass comic and I've always wanted to write for DC and introduce Freakazoid out of nowhere into the comics.
That's the one.
Didn't he interact with Batman?
SCREAM
>1) It IS set in the DCAU and he's in the DC Multiverse somewhere, since they own him.
DC owns him? I don't see how that makes any sense and figured maybe it'd be Warner Bros or something.
I'm honestly just wondering if copyright issues would ruin any chances of getting a Freakazoid cameo in the new Animaniacs.
What Timm wanted Freakazoid to actually be like.
No, at least not at first. Maybe later if the show lasted long enough.
WB owns him, not DC.
That was quite a jolt Freak
DC owns him as DC owns Hannah Barbera's superheroes
>Brando.
>Uhhhhhhhhhh....
SUPER TEEN EXTRAORDINAIRE
Jesus fuck, is THAT what she was saying?!

HEY LADY
Yes, supposedly he was originally going to be The Creeper. Makes me wonder if Deadpan was going to be Proteus.
Was it not an action comedy?
Freakazoid was never owned by Hannah Barbera. He was always a creation of WB Animation.
Yes. Its also a reference to Plan 9 From Outer Space.
Not like Bruce Timm envisioned it. It was basically DCAU Creeper: the Animated Series.
>So was Freakazoid originally supposed to be set in the dcau?
No. He just has association with DC because Warner Brothers owns both of them, but he's his own thing with no connection to the DCAU.
>Freakazoid was never owned by Hannah Barbera. He was always a creation of WB Animation.
I know.
I said that DC owns him in the same way DC owns Hannah Barbera's superheroes
DC got the license to use him in one issue of Animaniacs. Thats it. A license that expired over 20 years ago.
Otherwise he's a WB character thru and thru.
Thanks, Boco.
It leans much more towards comedy. The original idea may have been more of a balance.
The "THEY" in that post is Warner-Bros not DC specifically that's what I meant, same mega corporation.
Do you even know what am I talking about?
Dc owns Freakazoid in the same DC owns Hannah Barbera's Superheroes:
They can only when WB give them consent.
Are you really so simple minded?
HUGGBEES!
how do you know it's set in the actual DCAU outside being made by dini and timm?
I want a can of hash and some coffee.
shut up boco

I remember the cop who liked meat too much to marry a woman
HUUUGBEEEES!!
It’s a straight up comedy.
Could Freakazoid beat Perpetua?
Could he even beat Apex Luthor?
Moose.
As long as it's funny, Freakazoid always wins.
One of the best characters next to cosgrove, and candlej
A smart antagonist would indeed be able to defeat Freakazoid, but would decide it's not worth the headache.
Freakazoid is more like a rabid animal you maneuver so he annoy your enemies.
scream
Backwards, the Creeper as portrayed in the DCAU is Timm's conception on what Freakazoid would have been like had he stayed on its production.
Yeah. Spielberg wanted pure comedy so that's why Timm walked, because he wasn't interested.
Plastic Man, basically?
>doing the meme wrong
Freakazoids toonforce/powers was actually on the lower scale, he was beaten by really minor things all the time. The thing that saved him was not his toonforce, but his protagonist status.
Carrots give you x-ray vision
Not to mention his weaknesses to ionized graphite and poo gas.
What were his powers again?
Ya know I really would not what to see a reboot of Freakazoid because I know they would incorporate modern Internet stuff and that would be horrible.
Freakazoid's got like a weird version of the Toonforce, it's not weaker instead it operates on the same "can win if it's funny" principle but doesn't rely on straight slapstick as much.
Like Darkseid would try to use his omega beams on him and Freakazoid would move out the way and the beams would go straight and he'd be confused, and it would cut to the set where the director realizes that they forgot to contact the guy that usually sets up the laser mirrors for all that.
Like said, it's very difficult to categorize them. Humor is what drives his powers, like toonforce, but Freakazoid's humor is both more nuanced and childish at the same time.
Meta jokes on the expense of really specific things that laymen don't even understand fully are his speciality.
What was his name again?
he's the co-author of his own reality
Wish her design incorporates a hood, like a hooded cobra.
