Jman Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 March 4 sees The Batman hit theaters after all those delays. And as we’ve seen, whenever there’s a film release or HBO Max release, Toonami likes to show something DC related. With no shortage of DC stuff to still air, anyone think they will show something from the archives? It probably won’t be Peacemaker although given the show’s streaming popularity, it would probably result in a big ratings bump if it did air. Quote
Ginguy Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 Peacemaker wouldn't do well on Toonami because Toonami doesn't have an audience that would be receptive to it. The audience that watches Toonami is largely a nostalgia audience, they go because they like the brand/packaging and not necessarily the content. It's habit at this point, which is why the ratings don't typically vary. Quote

Ginguy Posted February 24, 2022 Posted February 24, 2022 I agree, he is a good actor if he is in his general range. He's not equipped to do Shakespeare, but comic movies are a good fit for him. Quote
OwlChemist81 Posted February 24, 2022 Posted February 24, 2022 My money's actually on another FRIDAY takeover this time, since it's Toonami's 25th anniversary and they've probably backed themselves into a corner with Shenmue and AOT. But I guess you could always run Mask of the Phantasm at 1:05 AM after Cosmo Samurai 2 Episode 3? Quote
DangerMouse Posted February 26, 2022 Posted February 26, 2022 Yeah, I could definitely see them doing another DC movie that weekend. Quote
