It featured the eponymous anthropomorphic duck superhero whose alter ego is suburban father Drake Mallard. On April 2, 2015, a rumor surfaced that Disney would be rebooting the series for a 2018 premiere. This has since been debunked, instead it has returned as a comic book published by Joe Books, which premiered on April 27, 2016. Though originally believed by some fans to be a spin - off of the 1987 DuckTales series, creator Tad Stones stated in a 2016 report that he believes the two shows exist in different universes, despite DuckTales supporting character Launchpad McQuack appearing on the series in a similar role to that the character plays in DuckTales, and the fact that Scrooge McDuck, the main character of DuckTales, is mentioned in Darkwing Duck episode `` Tiff of the Titans ''. Additionally, the 2011 comic series DuckTales makes reference to Darkwing Duck and features various villains from the series. A crossover between the Darkwing Duck comic series and the DuckTales comic series occurs respectively in the seventeenth and eighteenth issues and the fifth and sixth issues of the series.

In his secret identity of Drake Mallard ( a parody of Kent Allard, the alter ego of the Shadow ), he lives in an unassuming suburban house with his adopted daughter Gosalyn, next door to the bafflingly dim - witted Muddlefoot family. Darkwing struggles to balance his egotistical craving for fame and attention against his desire to be a good father to Gosalyn and help do good in St. Canard. Most episodes put these two aspects of Darkwing 's character in direct conflict, though Darkwing 's better nature usually prevails. The show was the first Disney Afternoon series to emphasize action rather than adventure, with Darkwing routinely engaging in slapstick battles with both supervillains and street criminals. While conflict with villains was routine in earlier Disney Afternoon shows, actual fight scenes were relatively rare. Darkwing Duck was also the first Disney Afternoon property that was produced completely as a genre parody. Prior shows would contain elements of parody in certain episodes, but would otherwise be straight - faced adventure concepts, this in the tradition of Carl Barks ' work in the Disney comics. By contrast, every episode of Darkwing Duck is laden with references to superhero, pulp adventure, or super-spy fiction. Darkwing Duck himself is a satirical character. His costume, gas gun and flashy introductions are all reminiscent of pulp heroes and Golden Age superheroes such as The Shadow, The Sandman, Doc Savage, Batman, The Green Hornet and the Julius Schwartz Flash, as well as The Lone Ranger and Zorro. The fictional city of St. Canard is a direct parody of Gotham City. ( `` Canard '' is the French word for `` duck ''. ) Production Darkwing Duck was developed as a last - minute replacement for a proposed reboot of The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show, when the creative team realized that Disney did not own the rights to the characters ( Disney merely held home video rights to the series ). The show was a spin - off of the very successful series DuckTales. Darkwing Duck entered production roughly one year after DuckTales ended. Darkwing Duck was inspired by two specific episodes of DuckTales : `` Double - O - Duck '' starring Launchpad McQuack as a secret agent, and `` The Masked Mallard '' in which Scrooge McDuck becomes a masked vigilante superhero wearing a purple uniform and cape. The name `` The Masked Mallard '' became an epithet often used in the new show to refer to Darkwing himself. Tad Stones was directed to come up with a series for The Disney Afternoon around the premise of Double - O - Duck, as an executive liked the title Double - O Duck as a spoof of James Bond and felt Launchpad McQuack would take the starring role. It turned out that the title Double - O Duck could not be used as the Broccoli family owned the ' double - o ' title. A new name was selected, `` Darkwing Duck ''. Thus, Stones designed a new character for the lead, Drake Mallard, while selecting McQuack as the sidekick. This name would result in a new look ( Double - O Duck was to wear a white tuxedo and black domino mask ). Other elements of the show, such as Darkwing 's habit of coining new catchphrases every time he announced himself, would be invented during production. ( As an in - joke, the episode `` A Duck by Any Other Name '' had Drake suggest `` Double - O Duck '' as his new secret identity and Launchpad remarked that it `` seems kinda silly ''. ) Where most prior Disney Afternoon series included at least some characters from classic Disney animation, Darkwing Duck featured a completely original cast. Even the DuckTales characters it reused had no counterpart in early Disney shorts or even the Carl Barks comics. The only exception was the episode `` In Like Blunt '', which featured cameo appearances by the Beagle Boys, Flintheart Glomgold and Magica De Spell.

In reality, this was a preview - run of the series before it aired on The Disney Afternoon. The two - part episode `` Darkly Dawns the Duck '' originally aired as an hour - length TV special on September 6, 1991 as part of a larger syndicated TV special, The Darkwing Duck Premiere / Back to School with the Mickey Mouse Club. The film served as the show 's pilot. Seasons 1 and 2 were aired simultaneously in the Autumn of 1991. Season 1 aired in syndication as part of The Disney Afternoon block of shows. Seasons 2 and 3 aired on Saturday mornings on ABC. The final episode aired on December 12, 1992. All episodes remained in syndicated reruns on The Disney Afternoon until 1995 and then returned to the line - up from 1996 to 1997. Starting on October 2, 1995, Darkwing Duck was rerun on The Disney Channel as part of a two - hour programming block called `` Block Party '' which aired on weekdays in the late - afternoon / early - evening and which also included TaleSpin, DuckTales, and Chip ' n Dale Rescue Rangers. On September 3, 1996, Darkwing Duck was dropped from the beginning of the block when Goof Troop was added to the end. The series was last seen in the U.S. on Toon Disney. Along with a number of other shows, it was removed from schedules in November 2004. Toon Disney then aired the Christmas episode `` It 's a Wonderful Leaf '' on December 25, 2004. The show was last seen on January 19, 2007 as part of the Toon Disney Wild Card Stack. Certain episodes from the show 's original run rarely re-aired while the show was on Toon Disney. These episodes appear to have been removed for content reasons. The most prominent of the rarely seen episodes is `` Hot Spells '', which was never re-aired after its initial broadcast on ABC because of its religiously sensitive subject matter. Darkwing Duck was one of the first American animated TV series to be officially broadcast in syndication in the former Soviet Union. The show currently airs on Disney XD in various countries such as the Netherlands and Germany. Home Media VHS releases Four VHS cassettes, each containing one or two episodes ( a total of 6 episodes ) of Darkwing Duck, were released under the title Darkwing Duck : His Favorite Adventures in the United States on March 23, 1993, individually titled `` Darkly Dawns the Duck '', `` Justice Ducks Unite ! '', `` Comic Book Capers '' and `` Birth of Negaduck ! ''. However, most countries around the world only received releases of `` Darkly Dawns the Duck '' and `` Justice Ducks Unite ! '' Each video came with two `` glow - in - the - Darkwing '' trading cards. Featured on the cards were Darkwing Duck, Launchpad, Gosalyn, Honker, Negaduck, Bushroot, Megavolt, and Taurus Bulba. The videotapes also included a Darkwing Duck music video which played at the end of each tape.

In 1991 to 1997, Darkwing Duck appeared in the Disney on Ice, Double Feature... Live !. In 2013, Darkwing resurfaced at Disneyland Paris, for the Disney Dreamers Everywhere Event. On September 2014, Darkwing and Launchpad appeared in Disney 's California Adventure for meet and greets. Video games Darkwing Duck video game was released by Capcom on the Nintendo Entertainment System and the Game Boy as a platform side - scroller. The game was developed for the NES in 1992 and was ported to the Game Boy in 1993. The Game Boy version is essentially a slightly stripped - down version of the game. Darkwing Duck ( a different game with the same title ) was also released for the TurboGrafx - 16 in 1992 as an action side - scroller. A Disney 's Darkwing Duck hand - held LCD game from Tiger Electronics was also released in 1992. Darkwing Duck ( yet another game with the same title ) was released for various touchscreen mobile phones as a platform side - scroller in 2010. Disney Infinity : Marvel Super Heroes ( 2.0 Edition ) has two power discs that were released for the game, `` Darkwing Duck 's Grappling Gun '' and `` Darkwing Duck 's Ratcatcher ''. Darkwing Duck himself is a townsperson in the 2.0 Toy Box. Darkwing Duck was close to being a playable character in 2.0 but was eventually scrapped. Disney Infinity 3.0 had Darkwing Duck close to being a playable character but lost to Olaf in the fan polls for the initial wave of Disney characters for 3.0. However, Darkwing was one of the characters listed on the official fan poll for Disney Infinity that was conducted during the 3.0 life cycle to determine new characters for future installments. Despite being one of the most desired characters, the character will not make it in the game due to the game 's cancellation. A Launchpad McQuack townsperson was added in 3.0. Darkwing Duck appeared in Disney Emoji Blitz in 2017. Comic Books Disney Comics published a four - issue Darkwing Duck comic book mini-series in late 1991, right around the time of the show 's syndicated premiere. This mini-series was an adaptation of a draft of the script for `` Darkly Dawns the Duck ''. Like the TaleSpin comic before it, it was meant to spin off a regular comic series, but the Disney Comics implosion happening at the time prevented that plan. However, Darkwing Duck stories were regularly printed in Disney Adventures magazine between the November 1991 and January 1996 issues. Additionally, Darkwing Duck stories were also regularly featured in Marvel Comics ' short - lived Disney Afternoon comic book. BOOM ! Studios On March 13, 2010, BOOM ! Studios announced that they would be releasing a four - issue Darkwing Duck miniseries, titled `` The Duck Knight Returns '', starting in June of that year. The series was written by Aaron Sparrow ( uncredited ), Ian Brill and drawn by James Silvani, and was set one year after the end of the show. BOOM ! later announced that due to positive fan reaction, the comic series would be extended indefinitely as an ongoing title. This first trade paperback collection of the initial four issues of the comic was released in the fall of 2010 Unlike the original show, the comic strengthened Darkwing Duck 's ties to the parent show DuckTales and began to use a number of Carl Barks characters like Magica De Spell ( allied to Negaduck in the second story ) and cameoing Scrooge McDuck and Gyro Gearloose. A 4 - part crossover story with Disney 's DuckTales, titled `` Dangerous Currency '', was released with parts 1 and 3 for DuckTales # 5 and # 6, and parts 2 and 4 for Darkwing Duck # 17 and # 18. The comic also made a lot of homages to other Disney shows : Magica 's powered up form in # 7 has emblems that reference film villains like Hades and Jafar, someone holds a sign saying `` Bring Back Bonkers '' in the background of # 6, and # 3 shows Launchpad tried to get a job with Gadget Hackwrench of the Rescue Rangers from Chip ' n Dale Rescue Rangers. The eighteenth issue, which shipped in October 2011, was the end of the series due to BOOM ! Studios prematurely losing the Disney Comics license. Darkwing Duck Vol. 5 `` Dangerous Currency '' crossover, released in November 2011, was the final printing. Joe Books On January 20, 2016, it was reported that the series will be returning to the comic book format. Writers Aaron Sparrow and artist James Silvani, both of whom worked on the previous Darkwing Duck comic book that was published by Boom ! will be returning. Additionally Andrew Dalhouse, Deron Bennett and Jesse Post will assume their roles on the creative team, with R. Janice Orlando, who worked on The Definitively Dangerous Edition, returning as Assistant Editor. Darkwing Duck is now wearing a purple necktie instead of his usual turtleneck. The first issue debuted on April 27, 2016. Titled `` Orange is the New Purple ''. Comic creatorship Throughout the run of BOOM ! Studios ' Darkwing Duck comic series, there was controversy as to who was responsible for the series. Editor Aaron Sparrow is largely credited with the idea to relaunch the property and has claimed to have plotted the first arc and come up with many of the concepts for following story arcs. This has been publicly disputed by Boom and credited series writer Ian Brill. However, artist James Silvani has publicly credited Sparrow not only with the idea of bringing the series back, but assisting him in ghost - writing much of the series and changing a lot of the concepts Brill brought to the series following Sparrow 's departure from BOOM ! Studios. This seems to be further corroborated by the fact that Sparrow and Silvani have both stated they did not write any of the final arc of the series, `` Dangerous Currency '', which was largely panned by fans for having many glaring character inconsistencies, particularly in the case of the character Gizmoduck. Darkwing Duck creator Tad Stones has also publicly credited Sparrow as bringing the character back in a 2010 BOOM Kids ! `` Get A Sketch '' panel at Comic - Con International. Sparrow continues to make public appearances with Silvani and Stones, and Brill does not. In a 2011 livestream interview Tad Stones admitted he was unhappy with later issues of the series, and particularly criticized the election arc, which he `` tried to talk them out of ''. When questioned on whether he had read the entire comic series he stated : `` Not the later stuff. I applaud what James tried to do. I hear he saved them but I thought the central premises were wrong. '' Sparrow served as moderator at the 2013 Comic - Con panel `` 25 Years of the Disney Afternoon : The Continuing Legacy '', which featured Tad Stones, voice actor Jim Cummings, voice actor Rob Paulsen, TaleSpin creator Jymn Magon, and Darkwing Duck comic artist James Silvani, associations which would seem to further corroborate his version of events. In 2013, Disney European publisher Egmont Group released a compendium of several of the BOOM ! Studios Darkwing Duck stories, including `` The Duck Knight Returns '', `` Crisis On Infinite Darkwings '', and `` F.O.W.L. Disposition ''. Aaron Sparrow 's story credits were not only restored, but he and Silvani created an all - new 3 - page introduction, and Brill 's dialogue was replaced with original dialogue by Sparrow. On October 22, 2014, comic news website Bleeding Cool announced that the first 16 issues of Darkwing Duck would be packaged together and published in an omnibus by Joe Books. On his Tumblr account, Silvani stated that the omnibus would be a remastered edition, featuring revised art, a new epilogue, and that the script had been `` painstakingly rewritten '' by Sparrow. It was also announced that the omnibus would lead into a new monthly series written by Sparrow and drawn by Silvani, with no involvement by Brill. The omnibus only collects the first 16 issues and the annual, omitting the final `` Dangerous Currency '' crossover with DuckTales, seeming to further call into question Brill 's claims of sole authorship. On January 18, 2016, Joe Books Twitter feed reported that Darkwing Duck would be returning to monthly comics beginning in April 2016 with Sparrow and Silvani at the helm. According to Silvani 's Twitter account, `` Dangerous Currency '' has been declared non-canon by Disney, and will not be referenced within the new series.
