DCAU Campaign: Is This a Snag?
Aug. 6th, 2006 03:09 pmRevelator pointed this link with Paul Levitz in my direction.

"DC President Paul Levitz responded to the question "Will there be more Bruce Timm animated series?" by saying:
"'I think the biggest challenge is that Bruce feels like he's been there, done that,' Levitz said. When he wrapped up Justice League, DC talked to him about several things he could do, and that wasn't his first priority because he's been doing it 17 years in that style, he said. 'He has a tremendous versatility as an artist, and many, many interests.'""
This doesn't deter me AT ALL. Firstly, the question was regarding DCAU animated SERIES. Secondly, he said this wasn't his FIRST priority. I think we pretty much all knew this before the campaign started. If it had been the DTVs would be DCAU. Not being a first priority is different than not ever wanting to do DCAU again. Third, the article states that b.t. isn't so hot on the idea of more DCAU right now. But b.t. felt the same way about an animated Justice League until enough fans let him know that that was what they really wanted. I think the campaign can still be successful although it may not be immediate. I think we just have to show b.t. that we still love the universe he started and that we still want to see new stuff even if his focus and priorities are still elsewhere.
I also have another question for dcauyojimbo. How much will buying a domain for a website set me back? Altogether how much will setting up a website and maintaining it cost me per month? THIS is the thing that could be a snag for me.
Update: gregx and daffy dork have come up with some good reasons why this may destroy the petition. I would greatly like to hear other people's imput too especially 90scartoonman and Revelator. And style92, of course.
Update 2: PeterFries pasted an article from the Voldemort Site (I LOVE that they are still using that handle I came up with on Toon Zone! :D). This article gives me a little bit more hope:
Voldemort.com, DCAU news from the Chicago Con:
ROSEMONT, Ill. -- One common force in the slate of direct-to-DVD animated movies recently announced by DC Comics and Warner Bros. Animation is Bruce Timm, who is working with Duane Capizzi on Superman: Doomsday and also serving as supervising producer on Justice League: New Frontier and New Teen Titans: The Judas Contract.
However, fans of the DC Animated Universe that Timm was so instrumental in creating shouldn't expect any DCAU adventures in the near future.
At DC Comics' panel at Wizard World Chicago on Sunday, publisher Paul Levitz said he wouldn't count anything out, but that even Timm has had "a been-there, done-that" attitude about the DCAU and was looking forward to stretching his abilities.
"He has a tremendous versatility as an artist," Levitz said, recalling the Avengers #1/2 comic Timm drew. "He wants to play with some of the other apporaches in his career."
The concept for the series is to adapt classic comics stories, using the original creators -- i.e. Darwyn Cook on New Frontier and Marv Wolfman on New Teen Titans -- when possible.
Levitz said the program is "created for the tastes and brains for those over age 8" and he liked to call it "two-generational."
Asked about adapting Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns, Levitz said it was possible, but that Miller will be pretty busy with the Sin City movie and directing The Spirit after that.
"Wouldn't count anything out" and "not in the near-future" don't sound like definate nos to me. Maybe the DCAU will be back, maybe it won't. Should I still continue this campaign?
