        I honestly thought the animated could not be *WB* since they are so great. But you are correct. -- nm* - Spawn Aug 16, 11:22 1
        
        well DC (in the past) didn't have anything to do with the movies or tv shows for the most part... - Remlik Aug 16, 11:26

        yeah, these are what I was thinking of -- nm - Beaker Aug 16, 11:06
      - Right? How many of the people whining and bitching about Ghostbusters never even saw Ben Hur? nm - Jim Aug 16, 10:43
      - [deleted]
    - A) Most people probably don't know the remake exists. B) I'd bet more living people under 70 have seen Ghostbusters than Ben Hur. -- nm - Ender Aug 16, 10:41
