DC Comics + Robot Chicken reunite for a special crossover episode on Adult Swim

Claymation and stopmotion was invented for humour. Hence the success of Celebrity Deathmatch and the infamous Robot Chicken.

And while the ordinary Robot Chicken episodes were a right hoot, it is their crossover franchise excursions that are most enjoyable, like the ones they did with Star Wars and DC Comics characters.

Now it seems the Seth Green-created animation series has reunited with DC Entertainment to bring their parody-brand of comic humour back to Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim.

“DC Comics and Robot Chicken‘s third installment. Something comic readers get. So do you think they’ll be going deeper this time in the DC canon or will they be using only DC heavy hitters (Batman, Superman, Justice League)? Let us know what you think in the comment section.”
