Doubtful; Robin's origin, like Batman's, is violent and involves child
endangerment.  I have heard that there's an episode where they will have
flashbacks to his origin, as they have done several times with Bruce.

Well, Batgirl's original origin was exceptionally silly (as is the character,
IMHO, though Barbara is intersting [especially as Oracle]).  It involves
a costume party and Killer Moth, so I doubt they'll use that.  If they do
use Batgirl, they'll probably come up with a fresher reason for her to
don the cape and (hopefully) use her very sparingly.

Most of us seem to prefer the first mask, from "Nothing to Fear."  I don't
know why they made the design change.

There's been an episode guide posted every week with this information,
although I don't remember seeing it last week.  Did something go wrong?
I'd send you my list, but I've missed a few episodes due to power outages,
baseball games, debates, etc...

There are currently 65 episodes finished--which is the usual standard for
the first season of a daily cartoon.  If the show is successful (and
everything I've heard would indicate that it is), there are plans for 35
more shows to make it an even 100.  It's doubtful they'd go beyond that,
since it gives them enough for syndication (just ask the tiny toons folks,
if they can hear you over the gnashing of their teeth).  In addition,
there's a full-length movie version to be released on tape at some point
(much like TTA's "How I Spent My Vacation").  Anybody heard anything about
realease date or plot?

And, of course, Harvey Dent and Two-Face.  (It's Moll, btw).

As far as I know, Zatanna--who will be voiced by Julie Brown--is the only
major guest star planned at this point.  Personally, I'd kill to see the
Suicide Squad.  Anybody else what to vote for their dream guest?

Again, watch for the episode guide.
