Death battle being one of those. I'm going to be real with you guys. Death Battle is NOT 100% gone. Its not. Honestly its in a state of Limbo. Meaning it's not gone forever, but it's not being produced either. So I'm not sure if it will come back, BUT, If it does, we will continue to produce the show, with more freedom. If the show DOESNT come back, then thank you all for supporting the entire Death Battle team. I had some of the best times working at Death Battle. I wouldn't count this as the end, but for now, we have to wait and see. If you guys want more info check out Twitter/X for more. Until then I'll be pausing all work on the current Death Battle season. I promise you this, if we do come back, we are coming back with some BANGER episodes. Highly requested episodes. That's all I'm gonna say. Love you guys. Thank you for your support over the years. ALSO, Cell Vs Batman is up next. (It's going to be hilarious, Kermit and cell get lost in Gotham. Voiced by the same Batman from Death Battle) See you soon! - DevilArtemis - 6 March 2024 - YouTube - Retrieved 7 March 2024
