Robin joins the team, and the fabled dynamic duo is also occasionally joined by Batgirl. Harley Quinn, Black Mask, Killer Moth, the Everywhere Man and a brand-new Clayface join the rogues' gallery of villains, led by the Joker, Penguin and Riddler, who ceaselessly torment Batman and Gotham City.

There, he discovers a small group of elite warriors struggling to survive and to save Arachna from the attack of Invectids, a race of insectoids. The warriors are children/teenagers, each fighting with the help of their own 10 ft (3.0 m) battle spiders. They call themselves "Spider Riders". SPIDER RIDERS is produced by Cookie Jar Entertainment and BEETRAIN

FOUR EYES!: Emma is a popular, attractive 10 year old alien girl from Albacore 7 whose less-than-stellar grades find her having to repeat the fifth grade. When her upper crust parents are made aware of her poor performance and behaviour, they send her to a boarding school on Earth to teach her a lesson. Emma has to wear a special device shaped like glasses, which turn her from her usual pink squid like appearance to a human. A fifth grade human. Which is about as bad as Emma thinks things can get. Until she slowly discovers that two of her most obvious human traits are not readily accepted by kids: First, she’s nerdy. Second, she wears glasses. Put together, these things make her time on our planet even more unbearable.
Emma’s outward appearance lands her in with a couple of equally geekish humans named Pete and Skyler. Although it doesn’t take long for them to realize that they’re not that alike after all. When she morphs into an alien, Emma really does have four eyes! The name of the show is also taken from both the fact that the true alien form of the protagonist is literally having four eyes and, coincidentally, the glasses she uses in order to morph herself into the shape of a human being. Another reason is that the notorious twin antagonists Alexis and Roland Billingsford call her by that name. FOUR EYES! is produced by Pictor Media and PorchLight Entertainment, and is created by Darryl Kluskowski

In LOONATICS UNLEASHED, six descendants of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Wile E. Coyote, the Road Runner, Tasmanian Devil and Lola Bunny each boasting special skills, unique powers and gifted with a firm sense of justice come together 700 years in the future to form a brilliant ensemble of superheroes who protect Acmetropolis from evil villains who have their own uncommon strengths. In the second season, new characters descended from classic Looney Tunes characters like Yosemite Sam, Sylvester the Cat, Tweety Bird and Marvin the Martian make special appearances. LOONATICS UNLEASHED is exec produced by Schwartz and produced by Ron Myrick for WBA.

On May 24 2008, Kids WB becomes the CW4Kids. Write a forum conversation saying Kids' WB dies on May 17, and lists the May 24 CW4Kids schedule, oddly exactly the same as the April 12-May 17 schedule

Forum Title: The End of Kids' WB? What’s Next for Our Saturday Mornings?

Joie commented on April 24 2008:
What’s the news? I just heard from my friend that Kids' WB is ending on May 17. Is it true? 😱

Light Lucario commented on April 28 2008:
Yeah, it’s true! Kids' WB is officially dying on May 17. After that, we transition into CW4Kids on May 24!

Joie commented on April 29 2008:
That’s such a bummer! Kids' WB has brought us so many great shows over the years. What are they replacing it with?

biggdan22 commented on April 29 2008:

Same exact shows? That’s... interesting. 😏 I guess it’s a smooth transition for kids who love the current lineup. But still, I can’t believe we’re losing Krypto, The Batman, and all those shows we've loved!

D Dubbs commented on April 29 2008:
I know right? It feels like an era is ending. 🙁 I hope CW4Kids brings some new content soon since it feels like we’re just rebranding.

Light Lucario commented on April 28 2008:
Yeah, I hope they don’t just stick with the same old shows forever. If they are going to be CW4Kids, they should make it fresh with some new material!

judyindisguise commented on April 29 2009:
Hopefully, we hear some announcements about new shows! But I guess it’s nice to see familiar favorites sticking around for a bit longer.

User4: Let’s keep our fingers crossed! Whatever happens, we’ll always have our memories of Kids' WB. Let’s keep the discussion going for any updates we get!

User7: Agreed! Here’s to the memories, guys! 🥳 What was your favorite Kids' WB show?

User2: I loved Xiaolin Showdown! Such a classic. What about you all?

User5: I hear you, but I’ve got some intel on what’s happening with CW4Kids! I found out that they’re not planning on introducing any new material until summer.

User3: Oh, really? So, it’s just the same shows for now?

User5: Yep! But it sounds like come summer, we’ll have some exciting additions! Chaotic and the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are set to join the lineup. Plus, they're bringing in some other big hitters too, so they’ll have all four of the major 4Kids shows to round things out!

User6: That’s actually pretty cool! I loved TMNT. So, we'll have something new to look forward to, just not right away.

User4: Summer seems far away, though! I hope they keep us in the loop with sneak peeks or promos leading up to the new additions.

User2: I suppose that makes sense. They probably want to keep the focus on a smooth transition for now. But I’m definitely looking forward to those 4Kids classics rejoining!

User1: Same here! While I’ll miss Kids' WB, having TMNT and Chaotic dropping in sounds like a solid plan for CW4Kids. I just hope the wait isn’t too painful!

User5: Let’s hold onto the excitement then! Who knows what else could pop up before summer! 🐢✨

Write a reply listing all 4

User5: Absolutely! So, when summer rolls around, we’ll get to see four of the major 4Kids shows join the lineup on CW4Kids. Here they are:

Chaotic - The exciting show where players compete in a fantastic card game that brings creatures and realms to life.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - The beloved adventures of Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael as they fight against criminals and villains in New York City.
Pokémon - Join Ash and his friends as they journey through various regions, catching Pokémon and competing in battles.
Yu-Gi-Oh! - Follow Yugi and friends as they duel with cards and embark on adventures filled with strategy and fantasy.
So, with all these classics coming back, it looks like CW4Kids will become quite the nostalgic blast from the past! Who's excited? 🙌

Well it's here, as 4Kids begins a new era, as we prepare for fall CW4Kids has announced the new schedule beginning on June 21, and people here nailed a lot of the items right on the nose. Gone are Johnny Test, Skunk Fu, Eon Kid, Skatoony and World of Quest, which will be taken off the air right after it airs its 13th episode. Joining the block are TMNT Fast Forward, Chaotic, Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, and The Batman is returning.
06:00 AM - Will & Dewitt
06:30 AM - Magi-Nation
07:00 AM - Monster Allergy
07:30 AM - Spider Riders
08:00 AM - Tom and Jerry Tales
08:30 AM - Blobbit Adventures
09:00 AM - Chaotic
09:30 AM - The Spectacular Spider-Man
10:00 AM - The Spectacular Spider-Man
10:30 AM - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fast Forward
11:00 AM - Yu-Gi-Oh GX
11:30 AM - The Batman
12:00 PM - Pokemon: Diamond and Pearl
12:30 PM - Pokemon: Diamond and Pearl

Since that puts the two GX's and Chaotic on at the same time on two different networks, I'm willing to bet that 4KidsTV will also be rearranging their line-up on the same day, probably having GX premieres move to CW

Light Lucario commented on May 29 2008:
Wow. If that's true, then that's just weird. I was so sure that they would have GX premiers on 4KidsTV, even in the fall. You brought up a good point about how changing stations would leave fans, at least ones without Internet access, confused. I also thought that they would keep GX on 4Kids so that two different Yu-Gi-Oh! series wouldn't air on the same channel. I kind of thought that's why CN stopped DM repeats as soon as GX started. They probably also wanted to give GX more attention since it was just started out.

I'm not saying that GX premiers on the CW would be bad thing. It just feels kind of weird because of two different series airing together, as well as how GX changed to yet another channel. Now that I think about it, I don't think that they'll have premiers of GX this fall. I think that they're doing it to warm the audience up to 5D's in their fall schedule. Pretty much like how they're having Fast Forward to ease into the new TMNT season. I would be okay if it was premiers on the CW in the fall, at least once I shake off the weird feeling I'm getting from it.

On another note, it would be kind of cool to see The Batman again. After watching some of the episodes of all of the different Batman series for that paper, as well as that review of the series on the main page of ToonZone, I kind of regretted not getting into the series, especially when I heard that it improved during the course of its run. Besides that, I thought that it would be fun to see it anyway. With that in mind, I should also watch more of that new Spiderman series. I didn't see much of it during the last week of Kids' WB, but I did like what I saw. Also kinda dissapointed Pokemon isn't airing at the time it used to air on Kids' WB,

veemonjosh commented on May 29 2008:
Well, so much for hoping to tape all of World of Quest before it disappeared...:crying:

goes onto Shout Factory forums to request that they get the DVD rights

Also, Spidey + TMNT in the same hour = BEST HOUR ON TELEVISION.

biggdan22 commented on May 29 2008:
You know, most of the changes actually make sense. They are bringing back The Batman no doubt to help promote The Dark Knight movie. Bringing Chaotic, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, and TMNT: Fast Forward over basically confirms the suspicion that all four are going to be on The CW 4Kids this fall, so start advertising the station they will be on now. We know that TMNT, Chaotic and Pokemon will be reruns, but the big question remains will GX be premieres or reruns?

D Dubbs commented on May 29 2008:
Yeah...and its kinda weird that GX and Chaotic are on at the same time on both networks...

Hahaha, 4Kids is making sure that kids have to watch their shows. They don't have any other options (unless you count E/I programming or Disney Channel reruns).

I'm a little sorry about World of Quest being dropped, because it had potential. It's about the only thing on the old WB I made a point of watching (hoping a miracle would happen and it would improve. Like I've said before, hope is like a drug to me.) Supposedly Canada will be getting 26 eps of the show. Maybe some of them will eventually find their way to the States, who knows. Ah well. Another series down the drain...

Joie commented on May 30 2008:
Wait, hold up! Did you just say that Johnny Test is getting the boot, but they're keeping Monster Allergy? 🤔 I never expected that! I thought Johnny was one of their more popular shows with all the crazy antics. How did Monster Allergy make the cut? It felt like it was kind of overshadowed by other series! I mean, don't get me wrong—it's a unique concept and all, but it's interesting to see what the network considers worth keeping. What do you guys think?

Joetiful View commented on May 30 2008:
Honestly, it’s a bit surprising to see Monster Allergy sticking around while they’re dropping Johnny Test. I figured Johnny had more of a following with all the action and humor. 😅 It makes me wonder if they’re trying to make room for something bigger with GX since it feels like a placeholder for 5Ds, which we know is coming soon. Since TMNT: Back to the Sewers, Pokémon Diamond and Pearl: Battle Dimension, and Smeshariki are already confirmed for the fall, maybe GX is just there to bridge the gap until they launch 5Ds!

Could it be that they plan to phase out some of the older shows in favor of all this fresh content? It’ll be interesting to see how this all unfolds. The strategy might actually work if it keeps the audience engaged until all the new stuff rolls out! What do you all think? 🤔

judyindisguise commented on May 30 2008:
Ehh, but I just saw this week's. Lord Spite has to be the lamest villian ever, even for a comic villian. My God, Drakken of Kim Possible was far better, because he had depth, and Shego, and he was occasionally really funny. (Like in the "Sick Day" episode, and the one where he kept trying to open that jar of gherkins). If a show about a quest has such an incompetent villian, then where's the tension? Or the drama that's at least occasionally needed to give the heroes' struggle any oomph? And again, the characters don't relate to each other very well, or in a very entertaining way. Too bad. Once again an episode of World of Quest gets buried in lame "jokes" and nothing of consequence. Only good moment was when Nestor kept his word. But overall, the quest itself isn't involving enough to hold viewer interest, and the jokes aren't funny enough to make up for that lack. Oh, and I take back the good things I said about Quest in the beginning. He's a bore when he's not damn annoying. I actually think the show would be better without him.

Yeah, this show needs to go bye-bye. I'd rather it were cancelled than continue to waste it's potential

Sketch commented on May 30 2008:
Ah, it's a pitty The Batman isn't right after Turtles. They broke a good 2 hours of comic hero action. Ah well...

I actually didn't think they'd go with Batman over JT but I'm glad I was wrong about that. It is obviously because of the movie coming up. So here's what's sad... 4kids seems to know better what to do with WB's shows than WB or CN does.

CyberCube commented on May 30 2008:
Funny how 4kids has gone from being hated to being well... "tolerated" I think is the word, but at least they're making some decent work for themselves.

Anyways here is the new 4Kids TV schedule starting June 21:

07:00 AM Viva Pinata
07:30 AM Viva Pinata
09:00 AM Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003)
09:30 AM Pokemon: Diamond and Pearl: Battle Dimension
10:00 AM Sonic X
10:30 AM Dinosaur King
11:00 AM Kirby: Right Back At Ya!
11:30 AM Winx Club
12:00 PM The Cramp Twins
12:30 PM Viva Pinata

Also here is the way the schedule is now (till June 14)

07:00 AM Viva Pinata
07:30 AM Viva Pinata
09:00 AM Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003)
09:30 AM Pokemon: Diamond and Pearl: Battle Dimension
10:00 AM TMNT: Fast Forward
10:30 AM Dinosaur King
11:00 AM Yu-Gi-Oh GX
11:30 AM Winx Club
12:00 PM Chaotic
12:30 PM Viva Pinata

I assume Battle Dimension will move to CW4Kids once CW4Kids is done rushing through S1 of DP

Undrave commented on May 30 2008:
Well to continue on what we were discussing...it seems painfully obvious that 4Kids has no faith at all in the 4KidsTV block anymore and want to fill it with old shows while they concentrate on their shiny new toy.

Keee commented on May 30 2008:
You’re absolutely right. It does seem like 4Kids TV has been left in the dust. With all the recent changes, it feels like they’re just trying to keep afloat rather than push for anything new. It’s disappointing to see so many shows get cut while they focus on bringing in older hits. I hope they can revive the block and push for more innovative content in the future!

hU commentd on May 30 2008:
They're probably thinking why should they supply new shows to a block that is ending in a years time..BUt at the same time it isn't fare for kids who are watching to just have two shows running new episodes(Viva & Dino) while the others are in rerun. I think they should at least have 3 new series on the line up. But 4KIdsTV looks Blah though while CW4Kids looks Banging.

Joetiful View commented on May 30 2008:
What's sad about this is that (just IMO), the 4KidsTV lineup is the best it's been in quite a while, what with Kirby and Sonic X back, plus new Dino King and Viva Pinata episodes. Also didn't 4Kids say Viewtiful Joe was coming to one of their blocks in the fall?

Macattack commented on June 4 2008:
I'm currently staring at the fall lineup for the CW4kids. Holy moley. :eek: It's obvious at this point 4kidsTV is getting the shaft while they're frontloading on the CW4kids. Fox probably isn't too happy about that . . . I hope that Fox formally gets back into the SatAM business soon.

Light Lucario commented on June 10 2008:
It seems that 4Kids is pretty much putting almost all of their shows onto the CW. They seem to be keeping Viva Pinata, Dinosaur King, Sonic X and Kirby on 4KidsTV. I doubt that they're expecting much from that lineup since they're putting much more focus on the lineup for CW. I wonder if this definitely means that they'll end their contract with FOX after this year. I have a feeling that it does.

I'm also still a bit surprised that they would put GX on the CW when its still in the middle of the season. Not to mention how its never aired on the CW before. I guess that they want to get people more interested in Yu-Gi-Oh! for 5D's this fall and it would work out better with new episodes rather than repeats. I would hope that they mention that GX will air on the CW4Kids after this week's episode, considering how the change happens a week from this Saturday. Well, as long as I can still watch the rest of the series on CW4Kids, then I'm happy. And this does give me a chance to check out more of the CW4Kids before fall. Did they already announce the schedule for the CW4Kids for June 21st? I wasn't sure if that was mentioned or if it was just a prediction schedule. Write a conversation on June 14 2008 asking if 4Kids TV and CW4Kids have been announcing th changes from nxt weekend, Joetiful View says he knows CW4Kids have advertised their schedule change
