    I cannot express how happy this makes me. Darkwing was always one of my favorite cartoons as a kid, and I've even had a DW quote on my Steam profile for about as long as I've had an account. And with Mark Hamill at the mic? I expect absolute gold, and I really hope that this becomes a thing my kid and I can watch together.

    I love benefiting from millennial nostalgia pandering. This was probably my favorite show as a kid and I can't wait to see it with Mark Hamill at the fore.

    Part of me wants to say nooooo but I can't decide whether that's the same part that's just butthurt that his favorite childhood properties haven't seen a facelift yet.

    "Let's Get Dangerous" must absolutely be part of the new theme.

      You want butthurt, I'm still a little upset that the Ducktales reboot wasn't brought past Season 3 and the Darkwing Duck it set up went nowhere. Jim Cummings voicing the former actor who became Negaduck was inspired.

      But I'm willing to see this project out, even if Launchpad does the laugh.

        I miss Ducktales 2017 all the time and would have loved more to come from that team. That said, I'm pretty excited for Mark Hamill.

        Lol Jesus I didn't even know the 2017 one existed. Please tell me that the three boys meet a wise ass genie in a rally against a super offside Arab stereotype and his big dog daddy.

          They're better on the stereotypes, but there is indeed a genie, and quite a bit of racecars, lasers, and aeroplanes.

    This has a HUGE opportunity! I am very excited by this. Ducktales reboot was good imo. I expect the same quality or higher for the new show.
