When talking about DC Nation, I know they probably intend to start with the more popular/iconic characters, but what are the chances, you think, of pushing some of the more diverse characters into the public eye through television, hopefully leading to a s

I hope so. I don't have much to do with the animation arm of Warners, you guys know as much as I do.

But I  do know that Static was a much bigger hit as a cartoon character than it was as a comic book character. And it STILL never got a major toy line or tons of merchandise, despite being a hit show that people loved. You go to any toy store and you can see tons of dead toy lines for shows and concepts no one cared about at all, but nothing for Static, despite it's considerable success.

The whole process is very slow to change. Even when lightning strikes and a great show is made with a poc lead, the things that can make it a phenomenon seem to be harder to reach. If toy companies don't make a toy line, then the show makes less money, if the show makes less money, there's no merchandise, it's just up and down a very slow and sometimes frustrating process.

I don't know what to say. I know the animation people at Warners and they are very forward thinking, more so than some comics people. I believe they want to do the right thing. And they have done some amazing stuff.
