Tonight, Robot Chicken will air their DC Comics Special on Adult Swim. It’s the first new episode of the season for the long-running stop-motion animated comedy show, and many fans can’t wait to see what Buffy the Vampire Slayer star Seth Green and longtime ToyFare Magazine writer and editor Matthew Senreich have to say on the matter of the DC Universe.
“They’re iconic since before I was born. These are the heroes that represented the great ideals of human potential,” Green told USA Today of the DC heroes. “These images were held up to me in an educating kind of way, so it’s just embedded really deeply.”
The pair, along with DC Entertainment Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns (who co-wrote the episode), have been doing a pretty aggressive media blitz in promotion of the episode, talking to the mainstream media, making entries on DC’s blog and leaking a couple of scenes to whet fans’ appetites for what’s coming tonight.
Before we get into the actual show clips, though, there’s one of DC’s “5.2 questions” that’s based on the episode, and it’s definitely worth checking out. Johns, Green and Senreich talk their favorite DC heroes, what graphic novel they would recommend to new readers and more for just about two minutes.
