And Finally the Super BFFs are here!

Who cares about generations? Are we really getting offended about continuity in a kid's show not matching continuity of a 70 year old comic company.

Anywhoo, loved the Super BFFs clip. Seeing a fun Barbara Gordon again was fun. She's hyper as hell.

It was pretty neat. Liked Wondergirl the most I'd wager. Her voice fit well. But I did lik how Batgirl sounded just like Twilight Sparkle.

Yeah, generations have been messed up on this show from the very start. Red Arrow being five years older than the future Nightwing, who's the same age as JLA regular Zatanna should give that away. It is what it is. It bugged me a bit at first too, but the show is so good I couldn't care less anymore.

And I now have the "Hello, Megan!" theme song in my head.

According to bleeding cool they only made 5 shorts: http://www.bleedingcool.com/2012/03/...-are-numbered/ Hope they look at the great fan reaction and decide to do more (or even better yet turn it into a half hour series). Fingers Crossed.

Let's hope it becomes one of those Billy and Mandy type situations! I think Adventure Time started as a short too and that's obviously blown up real big.

If they want to turn this into half an hour, they better work on Batgirl. She's funny for a minute, but I'd murder my screen after ten minutes of hearing her whining voice talking about burritos.

Most cartoon shows like this do start off as simple shorst before becoming full series.

Yeah, I seem to remember some cartoon or other that started out on Tracey Ullman then did all right for itself on Fox when it got made into a Christmas special than a full series. I think it was called The Simpsons or something...

I would also wager that the people who were having negative reactions were a little bit outside of the target audience as well.

Given that DC Continuity is like the Ministry of Truth from 1984, it's pointless to complain that the show doesn't match the comic. The comic doesn't match the comic. It's all subject to change without notice. When she first appeared, Batgirl was several years older than Robin; she was a college graduate and he was barely in high school. Black Canary was her own daughter for a while. It's all arbitrary and will probably be changed tomorrow. It's best to just let the cartoon be whatever it is. At least it won't be rewritten a couple of years from now.
