Not much to discuss. ;)

[1sharpdagga]

I think your right.

[life]

so when is this new cartoon coming out?

[Dead Eye 3117]

I've been out of the loop for quite some time, and this may be a dumb question... but here goes.

Is there any news of the 4th season of the HBO animated series? Has this been discontinued?

[SONICobra]

this is going to be on HBO like the last one right?

[Zargaist]

I read that Spawn The Animation won't be a continuation of the HBO series, but will it have any connection with the HBO series? You know, will the story happen somewhere in the HBO series or something or will it again be a "Spawn appears in NYC streets, confused, discovers about those lost 5 years, gets angry, is told about his role and his powers, then Spawn goes on a rampage and kick some butts" begining story that we all already heard several times now? :confused:

Think so.
But with a lot more focus on supporting characters.

[eeevil_monkey]

this is good news. the hbo spawn series is my favorite animation, ever. i just got this program from http://psptransfer.com so i can watch my spawn dvds on my psp, which is pretty sweet. i can't imagine the new animations being decent if they can't get keith david back. his voice *really* made the animations for me. at least they have the sense to make it r-rated.

[Reborn019]

yea keith was dead on

[firespawn]

not so much to discuss

[Spud387]

So when does this come out?

[Drakulya]

not sure but dint Chuck Patton have a hand in the Double Dragon animated series?

[scrilla]

Is the new Spawn Animation going straight to DVD or is it going to be a series on
HBO (or some other non-censored channel)?

I know this question has probably been addressed before but I haven't seen a difinitive
answer yet.

[Jormungand]

the trailer seemed like he was gona be fighting criminals mostly but clowns gona be in it right?

[Stiler]

I've been absent on here for a while, but what made it change from a series to a movie?

I thought it was going to be a whole series like the last one was, but now it's a movie instead? (So it will only be like a short story instead of a long series).

What made this change? I think a series could have brought out the story/characters a lot better since it'd last a lot longer then 70minutes or so.

[redneck_hillbilly05]

hmmmmm.....

[Chucks]

I hope this movie is at least about two hours or so.

[demonslayer 666]

I love the old ones. Will the same people be drawning the up coming one?

[Zentron]

Due to recent problems I can't view the trailer so I don't know what it looks like in motion, but I just hope the animation is improved from the old show.

[Demonic_Child]

i am omost 100% positive that keith is going to do spawn's voice, so there's no worry there, it will proly go to hbo first like the orginal serious did then come out later on vhs / dvd *shrug*

[Horror_God]

I hear there is going to be a 3hr long Spawn animation movie,but I have seen nothing backing this.Has ne1 seen anything about it??

[Helaku]

i haven't heard anything. anyone else, b/c i am interested 2

[FG725]

looks pretty cool I wonder if spawn will beat up violator alot in this one did he like ever really beat him up in the older ones?

70 minutes long, straight to dvd. projected release date early 2006.
mixture of 2d and 3d. i don't quite understand what was wrong with
the 2d CG animation with the HBO series 1-3. spawn is going to end
up like a 3d transformers cartoon. ;[ the story line is what made this
very good, and to not finish it is kind of a wasted effort to start and
unfinish a previous animation series. i felt left hanging. i shouldn't be
too upset because at least another is being done. but this 3 uncut
dvd's i have stacked over here. :spawnskul:

[Pig Boy]

So what's the craic with this animation then? No news in quite a while!! :(

[Gavrilo Princip]

So uhhhhhh, yeah......

[Blade99]

It wont be a continuation of the fantastic HBO series, sigh sigh sigh sigh

[spawnSC]

just shoot it straight to DVD :)

[El Dubious Mung]

Mark Hammill is Twitch! Score!

[Gavrilo Princip]

Mark Hammill is Twitch! Score!

Why is that good?

[El Dubious Mung]

Why is that good?

Because Mark Hamill is an excellent voice actor. For instance, he has done every cartoon Joker's voice. He's been doing voice acting forever.

Thus, they have an A-class guy doing the work, which means it'll be good.

[Darth Korig]

Mark Hamill had the ability with his voice to make The Joker my favourite Batman character..."Batman's gonna fry like a grilled cheese sandwich" lol that line gets me everytime. I don't think Mark is gonna sound like the original Twitch though, I don't why I just can't see him doing that.

If what people here say is true about the cartoon going straight to dvd that would make me very happy. Because Canada seems to get things much later than Americans do. Due to the fact that the American companies have to sell copy's of their product to a Canadian company before it being shown here.

[arandomthought]

WAit, Where are you guys seeing this?

[Gavrilo Princip]

Because Mark Hamill is an excellent voice actor. For instance, he has done every cartoon Joker's voice. He's been doing voice acting forever.

Thus, they have an A-class guy doing the work, which means it'll be good.

Fair enough. (I haven't seen the batman animated series).

But the bottom line is, I've already got Sam's & Twitch's voices from the HBO series engraved in my mind, so much so that even when I read the comic, I hear those voices doing the dialogue. They were the perfect fit.

[b2dlo4]

isnt micheal jai white doin spawn's voice?

[Darth Korig]

I'm pretty sure micheal jai white is doing spawn's voice...go to imdb.com for all the details. I love micael jai white's voice, first he does spawn, then he does the arbitor in halo too cool!
Yea same here everytime I read spawn and sam and twitch come into the picture I imagine their voices from the cartoon, same goes for spawn.

Correction: I got Michael Jai White and Keith David mixed up, Keith David is doing Spawn [and he was the arbitor] while White is doing someone I don't know named Barabbas. Here's a link to imdb's page of Spawn The Animation:

Me too. However, I trust Mark Hammill.

And no, Michael Jai White is NOT doing spawns voice. If you read the news on Spawn.com it says that Keith David is back for Spawn's voice, and White is doing a bad guy's voice.

Keith David is GREAT for spawn because he doesn't have to do the "batman growl" for the voice. He just talks a little angry, and there you go. This is what turned me off during the batman movies, where they all tried to deepen their voice while being batman. It's worse with Christian Bale, because he has a bit of a lisp.

Michael jai White had to do the growl, and that just made the character cheesy.
