Now i thought CARTOON NETWORK was for DC... because they have Justice League, Teen Titan and Batman... i would have thought Fox Family would air the animated movies because they air the old 90s SPIDERMAN and X-MEN... but i guess that doesn't matter.

Wow, awesome news. Anything DC @bats@ or Marvel @Spidey@ is cool with me, especially if it is animated. I'm looking forward to Ultimate Avengers and the sequel. Plus Iron-Man, cool!

Actually the only reason that the animated Spider-Man and X-men are on ABC Family, is because Disney bought Saban awhile back, Saban made those shows. Disney also owns ABC Family which they aquired from FOX. That's why Power Rangers where on ABC sat morning, and why they show them on ABC family as well. The only Marvel show that wasn't part of these deal would have been Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends which they proably made a seperate deal for.

 

CN isn't really FOR anyone...they can buy whatever they want to air, but they do favor DC because CN is owned by Warner Brothers, and WB has entertainment deals with DC. Plus there has really been a lack of Marvel Cartoons in the last 5-10 years. X-men: Evoultion, and the short lived MTV CGI Spider-Man too are the only ones I can think of...and I think XE aired on CN for awhile. Where as there have been plenty of DC toons made in those years. BTAS, STAS, JL, JLU, TT.
