WMG / Hanna-Barbera Beyond

Shows that might become future comics

• The Roman Holidays
  • The Darker and Edgier premise will be that it is actually set in an Alternate History where the Roman Empire never fell and instead conquered a massive portion of the world. The Holidays live in a city that is part of the empire's colonies in North America. Gus and his family live normal lives until a tyrant takes over and the empire begins to crumble around them.
• Top Cat
  • The premise will be that the gang of cats are now a far more morally dubious street gang in a cesspool of a city where only a few hapless cops, including Dibble, are standing in the way of crime. The thing that makes us root for the gang is that this is a world of Fantastic Racism by a majority of normal humans against a minority of anthropomorphic cats and possibly other Funny Animal species. It will be filled with Does This Remind You of Anything? regarding the modern racial tensions and highly publicized Police Brutality present in the modern United States.
• Speed Buggy
  • The premise is that the characters are reimagined as fugitives of a fascist government in a dystopian America. Tinker is an Edward Snowden inspired figure who exposed that the government was spying on people through cameras hidden in their cars, Mark is a Native American activist who was tortured for protecting his tribe's private land from wealthy land developers, and Debbie was part of the unwilling harem of the President for Life who helped Tinker and Mark escape in exchange for protection. Speed Buggy is an upgrade on the spy cars that gained sentience thanks to a glitch in his programming, who the three use as their getaway vehicle. The four now evade capture as best they can until they can find a way to get out of the country and seek asylum, while various criminals from the show try to capture them in exchange for immunity from the law.
• Moby Dick
  • The premise is that Tom and Tub are child spies during the Cold War who infiltrate a soviet submarine, which inadvertently breaks down. Tom and Tub awake in an undersea facility where the soviets were heading, where they find a captured whale who has been experimented upon to be a hyper-intelligent super weapon. They use the whale to return to safety on land, but find that they activated a cybernetic implant in its brain when they did so, causing it to imprint on them as its masters. The two learn that they were comatose for a very long time...and that they were taken to the facility rather than having swam there. The two use the whale, dubbed Moby Dick, to discover what really happened under the sea.
• The Biskitts
  • The premise is essentially The Biskitts meets Berserk and (for additional weirdness) Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters.
• The Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan
  • The premise is that Charlie Chan is hired by the United States government to investigate a conspiracy...and ends up getting killed. His children, who are all a couple years older than in the show (implying it is canonical in some way), team up together to avenge his death.
• Yogi Bear
  • The premise is that Jellystone Park is a national park that has turned into a hellhole due to an oil pipeline that unleashed dark magic energy trapped beneath the land. It is now ruled by monstrous bears who have gained human qualities and eat humans to maintain these qualities. The Ranger Smith of this is part of a military unit that keeps the bears at bay, who discovers three innocent bears, Yogi, Boo Boo and Cindy, who carry the secret to sedating their kind.
• Hong Kong Phooey
  • The premise is that it'll be a Stealth Parody of The Dark Knight Trilogy, with Hong Kong Phooey as an angst-ridden vigilante in a bleak, crumbling city. The people will be humans with slight animal attributes that are not commented on.
• Punkin' Puss and Mushmouse
  • The title duo are the villains in an homage/sendup to Hillbilly Horrors films and film series such as Wrong Turn, Pumpkinhead, Motel Hell, and Just Before Dawn. The main protagonists will actually be tourists/campers who are menaced by Punkin' Puss and Mushmouse.

• Galtar and the Golden Lance
  • A straight Swords and Sorcery Action Series that is faithful to the original series but with some actual blood-spilling violence and some legit adult situations with Galtar and the ladies.
• Foofur
  • The animals are not anthropomorphic, instead being realistic animals in realistic situations. Gruesome Watership Down–level situations, if not The Plague Dogs-level.
• Trollkins
  • The trolls partake in a Black Comedy filled parody of the live action/CGI "going to the real world" Smurfs movies where the trolls go to land in modern day Sahuarita, Arizona and wreak havoc upon learning of the modern connotations of the word troll and figuring that that's just things are done there. It ends after four issues or less with the trolls being messily killed by the residents of the town.
• Gravedale High
  • A true to its roots story with the same premise as the show, except now set in a more modern school where the students deal with issues that impact modern, 2010s teenagers.
• Loopy De Loop
  • The comic would have strong racism themes on account of Loopy being persecuted just for being a wolf.
• Wacky Raceland
  • There will be a second volume if and when Tom Hardy makes another Mad Max film, and it will at some point cross over with similar H-B shows like Laff-A-Lympics and Yogi's Space Race.
• Jana of the Jungle
  • Instead of really being a real Jungle Princess, "Jana" will be a character played by an actress who is hit on the head while playing her and then wakes up, sees the costume, and then believes she's the "real" Jana stolen from the jungle. The rest of the series is the other actors and the crew trying to help the actress before she gets herself killed in her attempts to escape the city.
• Drak Pack
  • A companion series to Scooby Apocalypse that shows the adventures of three human teens who somehow retained their intelligence and personalities after being transformed into a vampire, a Frankenstein's Monster, and a werewolf. They now seek out any other "good monsters" like themselves to try to fight the other monsters and rebuild society together.
• Peter Potamus
  • Peter and So-So are the last living creatures on Earth, gazing out at the scorched, ruined, post-apocalyptic Earth from a hot air balloon.
• Heidi's Song
  • An adaptation of the movie that is inter spliced with jumps to Heidi's adulthood.
• The Super Globetrotters
  • A serious take on the concept of five members of the basketball team being superheroes, where the five main characters are the only survivors of an accident that killed their teammates. A scientist rebuilt them as cyborgs afterwards, giving them superpowers in the process. The five members hate this new existence and become superheroes only in the hope that a villain will destroy them and put them out of their misery.
• 2 Stupid Dogs
  • A series of short gag comics put in other series as back-up stories.
• Huckleberry Hound
  • A sequel/companion miniseries to Exit Stage Left: The Snagglepuss Chronicles, showing him fight to the death with the villains from his cartoons.
• Wildfire
  • A very short miniseries that adapts the show faithfully, but leaves it ambiguous if the events are real or just an imaginary story Sara dreamt up.
• Secret Squirrel
  • A dark and gritty spy drama in the vein of The Bourne Series or Jack Ryan.

Shows that HAVE to become future comics

• Potsworth & Company
• SWAT Kats
  • Apparently the rights reverted to the creators.
• It would be a crime to not mention The Pirates of Dark Water!

Shows that CANNOT become future DC comics

• Josie and the Pussycats
  • Extremely unlikely, since Josie and the Pussycats is an Archie Comics property and appear in their own comics.
• The Smurfs
  • Sony seems to have the monopoly on the Smurfs franchise.
• The Completely Mental Misadventures of Ed Grimley
  • It's impossible to reboot a cartoon based on a SNL/SCTV character... I must say!
• Challenge Of The Go Bots
  • Tonka was bought out by Hasbro, which would, ironically, house the GoBots with the Transformers.
• Pretty much any cartoon that H-B did that was based on toys like Monchhichis and Pound Puppies.
• Cow and Chicken
  • IDW probably still has the rights to make classic Cartoon Network shows into comics like they did with Dexter's Laboratory and classic and reboot Powerpuff Girls... sorry 793ws!
