"Black Panther (Animated Series)" News & Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

Here are some other characters I would like to see of the series is renewed after eight episodes.

Man Ape--- Voiced by Ving Rhames or the guy that played Adebsi from Oz.

Ulysses Klaw---- Christopher Walken or James Woods

Achebe----- Chris Rock

Monica Lynne--- Mary J. Blige

Its not like he's African American though, he's African period. The problem is he doesn't live in Harlem, plus dealing with crime in projects is Luke Cage's thing and this isn't a Avenger cartoon, so he can't just spend all his time with the Avengers. He is an African hero who isn't allowed to deal with African problems, he is kinda pointless.
 
i'm hoping for the best, and since Mr. Hudlin is no longer in BET leadership, I hope the execs there have the vision to continue this series, and not just be content to sit on reruns ad infinitum after the initial run.. :shrug:
 
Wow, BET actually producing a new series that doesn't involve music, rappers, and degrading stereotypes of the Black Culture? I'm all for that. Been years since I bothered watching BET. Now I will actually have a reason to find it on the satellite dial again.

Heh, only thing animated to ever appear on BET I can remember was the old Jackson 5 animated series (And the Boondocks episode about BET that got banned).
 
They had a little show called Hey Monie but it was like a little cheap webtoon or something, I doubt anyone remembers it.

Wow, Jackson 5 , I only remember them showing that when I was about 6.

I wonder what kind of promotion this Black Panther show will get
 
So is this series still going to air on BET? I remember reading something on this about a year and a half ago in a Wizard comic book magazine and I got pretty excited because Black Panther is a great character and I thought an animated series of him would be sweet.

Post Edit: I just read the article posted by W.C Reaf and it looks as if Fall of 2009 could be the debut for this show, I'm excited!

Denys Cowan is a solid comics talent, having him head up animation there is a boon..

hopefully there will be lots of panther-branded merchandise around the time this comes out-- t-shirts, baseball caps, cocoa mugs, etc..
 
Hopefully when the series comes out it blows everyone away and gets renewed for several years to come... and indeed clear the way for more black-hero stories and series...

...I'd love to see the New Orleans/vampires arc.. re-created... ah..
 
I dunno, I still stand by comments that it looks kinda retro, and I love those Marvel 1960's Cartoons.

I flick through a few of the kids channels, and I have to admit there is worse animation out there than this.

Do I think this is the best way to treat this property, no. As it will put some people off. Sadly If I'm honest, I can see this getting canned after 1 series.
