The first season was weak but the show improved dramatically towards the end of the second season, especially the season finale. The last two years were IMHO equal to 90's animated series.

Whoa! What's with the image on the G4 page? Those are not the models they used on the series. As for the show itself, Brooks is definitely reprising his roles and he's the best thing about the show. I'm not sure who's voicing Barf but he does a pretty good John Candy impression. The show, as a far as I know, was animated in Flash. It's primarily symbol animation with some traditional mixed in, especially in effects shots. Has the series shown up on American Itunes yet? I know some of the episodes are on the Canadian site.

Off the top of my head, John Delion, the guy who stole his fortune The Clock King Camarogue, a sneak thief with some kind of chameleon-like invisibility suit Slingshot an assassin who used David and Goliath style slings to kill people The Rainbow Archer Bullseye, an acrobatic clown Milo Armitage, Connor Hawke's criminal stepfather The Bamboo Monkey, yet another evil archer, although from what I've seen this guy relies on regular pointy arrows and a lot of skill. Chein Na Wei and Hackett, the villains of the recent Green Arrow: Year One mini series. Only appeared once but they had a role in turning him into a hero. Shado, as I understand it she's more of Catwoman like ally/enemy but I believe they started out as opponents. Mother of GA's youngest son Brian Nudocerdo star city's corrupt Police commissioner Either Professor Millions or Professor Merlin. I confess I don't really remember this character's name but in the golden age he'd become embroiled in crimes while trying to raise money for his college Honorable Mention: Cheshire, genocidal assassin and mother of Ollie's granddaughter Lian. I don't think she's ever appeared in a GA comic but she's a big part of Arsenal's backstory. and I think Catman's got a grudge against him

Regarding The Batman ending: Most animated series end at 65 episodes (these days they're more likely to end at 52). I'm not 100% certain why but it has something to do with the fact that 65 episodes can be aired Monday to Friday for 13 weeks. Only very successful shows like Ducktales or BTAS make it past the that limit. With 5 seasons of 13 episodes The Batman has reached 65 so it's ending. Apparently the show's being replaced by a Brave and the Bold animated series set in it's own continuity (the story's at http://www.worldsfinestonline.com/news.php...news&id=66)
