Good question. As far as I know, the only Batman cartoon they have is Batman Beyond, meaning that unless they've aired the Return of the Joker movie, the only Joker to vote on would be Caesar Romero in the old Adam West BIFF POW ZOWIE Batman.

On top of that, all the Joe and TF characters will blur in votes from their G1/ARAH incarnations, much like the various Batmen...which is so confusing that I'll have to vote for Jem by default.

Optimus ain't doing so well in this vote. However, Megatron practically kicked Baroness's ass. I voted twice for him. :grin:

Not caring about scale since 1984. Just like Hasbro.

The ones I'd pick:

Heroes - Batman (Optimus is the worst character in thew show)
Friends - Pinkamena Diane Pie (Nuff said 8) )
Villains - Discord (dude is Q as a chimera. THAT. IS. AWESOME!)
Meanies - dunno (don't watch any of those)

Yes. it's been on the Hub since September 6. No, I'm not confusing it with either Adam West's Batman or Batman Beyond (both of which are also on the Hub). The hub has a total of three Batman shows.

Guess I hadn't been paying attention; I had no idea they had Batman TAS.

If they can air so many shows owned by Warner, it's starting to seem strange that they're not airing the original Hanna Barbara Pound Puppies cartoon. Were the old MLP and Strawberry Shortcake by by HB too?

Can't say about the old SSC, but MLP G1 was definitely Hasbro. I lump it, Transformers G1, GI Joe, Inhumanoids and Jem and the Holograms into one semi-connected canon.

While the rest I can understand, I don't see how MLP G1 fits in. What's the connection (besides the scrapped idea from MLP G1 movie)?

1. the scrapped idea.
2. Made by Hasbro and doesn't contradict anything.
3. I want to and it pleases me to. :P
