It's later revealed in the comics that Cog often had ulterior motives while serving as a guide to Al and to give you an idea how far back his immortality was as a Spawn, He was supposedly "Cain" from "Cain & Abel" The first murderer.
It wasn't at all. The only thing similar was some shot framing & lighting. Every other aspect of the design, anim and storytelling was completely diff't and done anime-style instead of Bruce Timm-style.
@@tactical-funky9565 Tell Me About It, I Want This Spawn Animated Series For A Reboot, And Hopefully They Should Do A Season 4 Of Spawn, And Will Add Frank Welker As Malebolgia To It Cause It Would Be Great And Brilliant
I used to watch this every Friday night at 10pm! Spawn was a very well done animated series! Fyi Keith Davis is a well accomplished actor outside of Spawn. please don't compare him and Kevin k.
No joke, I LOVED him in that old Charlie Sheen movie Men at Work, dude was hysterical. "Never touch another man's fries!" I think I got that right, lol.
I remember at 12 yrs old, I would sneak down the stairs on a Sunday night to watch this epic show. I would have the volume so low, I would be sitting right front of the tv....Which is why I probably wear glasses/ contacts now lol Good times indeed.
I would love to see the series on Bluray. Bonus content: All the action figure commercials. (I remember the first two very well, but are not on RUclips!) Audio commentary for each episode with cast & crew. Some new documentary about the Spawn craze and all the other Image Universe content on Saturday mornings.
I wrote 3 episodes (including send in the KKKlowns) for the second season. Great opportunity for me, but much of your assessment is correct. Wanted to do more with the direction but it ended before there was a chance.
This video got me interested to watch the Spawn show, and I loved it! I’ve since bought several comics, the animated series dvd, and even a couple of figures. Thanks SyFy
I AGREE about this video but I'm such a HUGE fan of SPAWN T.A.S. I don't mind! I've been trying to collect the stories on which the animated series is based, which are roughly the first 100 issues, a must have if you're a Spawn fan!
Bat man has a cross over with everyone. I found a small list of good ones we got Predator, we got alien, we got the power rangers, we got Elmer Fudd, we got Harry Houdini, we got scooby doo, we got teenage mutant ninja turtles, we got Tarzan, we got captain America, we got spider man and we got spawn. I’m sure we got many many more than that too, but damn he gets to cross over with everyone. If I was bat man I’d ask to get a play boy cross over. Ya feel me
Your references to the all the shows we shouldn’t have been watching on HBO had me rolling!!! And then you mentioned The Spice channel!!! Bruuuuh! Lmfao
Great video, I'm a major spawn fan. Can y'all please make a video about the cartoon "Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys? There are no videos online that go into any detail on thr show.
I hate how he’s straight up disrespecting spawn by comparing him to Batman and there really is no correlation between them other then just being an animated show
I still have my first issue of Spawn and posted a video about it on my channel. I used to watch this series every Sunday night on HBO. Keith David did an awesome job in this.
Spawn and Batman have nothing in common. Different race different origin. Spawn is the anti Batman. If anything ghost rider and spawn are very similar.
I had a 900+ DVD collection. When I cut it down to just over 100 spawns HBO collection was one of the things I kept, found it at a pawn shop when I was 17 and couldn't help myself.
I remember that watching interviews with MacFarlane around the time I was watching this series was an awakening to how creators can have giant blind spots when it comes to story telling. The cartoon had an e tire set if writers refining band streamlining every idea he had from the comics and the story of the series flows much better because of it.
1:30... that was literally the age when I first watched Spawn in its entirety. I was 13 and my dad just handed all the episodes to me on all 3 dvds. To be fair, that was the same year I was taught how to use a cross bow and was better behaved than I am now.
Definitely enjoyed the video guys, have been a fan of both Batman & Spawn for a very long time. Speaking of the idea of a The Crow/Spawn crossover is an idea I've had for a almost as long as I've been a Spawn fan. P.S This vid should have been called "How the Spawn universe & Batman universe are similar"
I just finished the last episode of season 3. Man what a great show this was! They stayed (for the most part) true to the comics. Although the animation isn't anything groundbreaking, it is more than adequate. Personally for me the heart & soul of the show is in the dialogue, voice acting & the unique view perspectives (camera angles, foreshortening of of objects) as it gave the show a terrific atmosphere.
When I was 13 years old I was watching part of an episode when it was on HBO when we got Amazon prime that it was on there and had watched most of the episodes of it.
As great as Batman: The Animated Series is, I feel like all these comparisons is a disservice to Spawn.
Pretty much, the host is just spuoting sht out from his ass.
Yeah I agree with you,I don't he knows the concept of Spawn .
DCGX spawn is better when your an adult but Batman was a great series
Ramirez! Take this water bottle and nuke the motherland!!
@@feedme645 why is there a Foley meme in this comment section its random as hell.
Keith David is a great voice actor
YYYEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!! I still couldn’t believe when I stumbled on Disney’s Gargoyles and I screamed. There he was, his amazing voice.
Venus Blade yessss
I almost got to meet him while interning for his production company.
Okay we get it, it is somewhat similar to Batman. How about talking about the actual show you are reviewing.
Crazy House ... no he’s more like venom.... Todd is the creator of venom ... do you know that?
I feel the same way. I wasted 3 minutes of my life.
@@dantewhite2468 you won't if you get the show's 3 volumes. it's a great 6hrs. it did get cancelled, so, cliffhanger unfortunately
@@cameronespinosa5903 he was co creator.he drew him.
abuser name I said spawn didn’t really remind me of Batman.. and the creator of Batman was alive before Todd was even born..
It's later revealed in the comics that Cog often had ulterior motives while serving as a guide to Al and to give you an idea how far back his immortality was as a Spawn, He was supposedly "Cain" from "Cain & Abel" The first murderer.
So he's Cain?? The brother that killed Abel right
@@imperiumgrim4717 yup
It would of been nice to see it happened in the animated series.
I forgot how perfect Keith David was
Agreed!!! I WISH I KNEW MORE WORDS TO DESCRIBE HOW AMAZING HE IS!!!
*Is
Fun Fact: Cagliostro was played by Richard Dysart, who was in THE THING with Keith David who played Spawn/Al. So this was a reunion of sorts.
WELL Since JOkEr is Successful can they just do that SPAWN movie already then revive the Cartoon on Hbo or Netflix?
They've been planning to make this movie for ages. I think Todd even mentioned it in the more recent interviews.
McFarlane has been planning a movie reboot for awhile now. Jamie Foxx is set to be Simmons in it
@@bryanallen8851 ugh
Bryan Allen they need the og actor to do the voice and dub it lol
Honestly would prefer 3 or more seasons of a good animated series over a movie because I feel like I’d be disappointed by a live action adaptation.
U Didn’t go 60 seconds without making a Batman reference.
I really hated that they *never finished it* it was brilliant !
I loved the HBO Spawn series. The stories and characters were well written. That cyborg "Overtkill" was brutally terrifying.
Is this a 10 things you don’t know about spawn ? Or 10 reason why this is a R rated Batman
for real, this guy can't stop with the comparisons
maybe he is reffering the younger generation who doesnt know spawn.
The Maxx cartoon was on around this time, it had more of that feel. I loved Spawn, Batman the animated series, and The Maxx.
Sonia C I loved The Maxx and Oddworld were my childhood.
Wasn't the Maxx on MTV though?
And Aeon Flux. I loved that one too
Yo y'all are my people I watched every one of those shows back in the day 💯💯
Oh, my god. I love The Maxx.
I don’t like how they make it sound like spawn is a rip off of Batman
j z a Batman doesn’t cuss as much as Keith David I mean Spawn
It wasn't at all. The only thing similar was some shot framing & lighting. Every other aspect of the design, anim and storytelling was completely diff't and done anime-style instead of Bruce Timm-style.
I could see why it came across that way but regarding this series, they hired a lot of the crew including the same composer, Shirley Walker
Me too. I don't like that part either.
Read Year Two bra
Spawn animated series is underated
oh yeah yeah
Very but keep it that way so I can flex when someone I know never watched it
It's not. Everyone who's watched it praises it so it's not underrated. It's reasonably rated.
The thing about it is the fight scenes were awful. I wish there was fluid animated spawn fight scenes
@@tactical-funky9565 Tell Me About It, I Want This Spawn Animated Series For A Reboot, And Hopefully They Should Do A Season 4 Of Spawn, And Will Add Frank Welker As Malebolgia To It Cause It Would Be Great And Brilliant
The crow in the comic its really a revenge fantasy eric draven is imaging the scenario but i prefer the movie version were he really comes back
WHOMST HAS SUMMON ME??
Yes! The crow and spawn are two of my favorites!
Keith Davids’ voice sold the series for me.
I used to watch this every Friday night at 10pm! Spawn was a very well done animated series! Fyi Keith Davis is a well accomplished actor outside of Spawn. please don't compare him and Kevin k.

This should be titled how Spawn is like Batman
Title feels misleading
Plus a handful of everyone-who-likes-Spawn-knows-this facts.
I wrote 3 episodes (including send in the KKKlowns) for the second season. Great opportunity for me, but much of your assessment is correct. Wanted to do more with the direction but it ended before there was a chance.

This is.....such a disappointment. I wanted to hear about history of this show. Instead you just made a bunch of BTAS comparisons for way too long.

I'm currently watching it for the first time. They're showing re-runs of the show on HBO.👍
This pretty much was a streamlined retelling of the opening arc of the Spawn comic.
Batman and spawn have a crossover in the comics
I have the issues out in my garage, great comics, my first introduction to spawn actually.
I remember reading that crossover back in the late 90s. A hell of a fight between the two. Spawn almost killed Batman.
Bat man has a cross over with everyone. I found a small list of good ones we got Predator, we got alien, we got the power rangers, we got Elmer Fudd, we got Harry Houdini, we got scooby doo, we got teenage mutant ninja turtles, we got Tarzan, we got captain America, we got spider man and we got spawn. I’m sure we got many many more than that too, but damn he gets to cross over with everyone. If I was bat man I’d ask to get a play boy cross over. Ya feel me
bruh his voice was literally PERFECT for spawn literally
Kaos Jay facts 😎
Indeed,I wish he mentioned keith David's role as the arbiter in the halo series
Venom+Dr. Strange+Ghost Rider=Spawn
geardog24 also some Punisher and Batman thrown in there for good measure
geardog24 I would prefer to see a team-up of that list or
Spawn, Ghost Rider, Dr. Strange, Blade, Hellboy.
Actually spawn will be more like agent venom then venom.
Your references to the all the shows we shouldn’t have been watching on HBO had me rolling!!! And then you mentioned The Spice channel!!! Bruuuuh! Lmfao
Great memories, especially season 1. Now when is the new film coming out, and season 4?
I own all 3 seasons on DVD. Incredible.
Me too
Where can I buy it?
I still have the official VHS releases of season 1 & 2.
Me too
& season 3
BTAS and Spawn! My two favorite animated series ever!!
Yes!!
yup stan called him overkill which they later changed to overtkill to avoid lawsuits.
Keith David has the best voice
Great video, I'm a major spawn fan. Can y'all please make a video about the cartoon "Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys? There are no videos online that go into any detail on thr show.
Damn I thought I was the only person who heard of that show. I remember watching waayyy back in the day on UPN.
I remember when Syfy and the movie channels had anime on them for example Hellsing ultimate was on one of the movie & Gundam 00 was on Syfy.
I hate how he’s straight up disrespecting spawn by comparing him to Batman and there really is no correlation between them other then just being an animated show
This needs a continuation or a reboot
You should do WildC.A.T.S next keeping the comic book cartoon series theme going since you did spawn, then back that with Savage Dragon 🐆🐉👈😳👍👍👍
Even now I use Keith David voice in my head when I'm ready.
I still have my first issue of Spawn and posted a video about it on my channel. I used to watch this series every Sunday night on HBO. Keith David did an awesome job in this.
“All the things you didn’t know” more like “here’s what we thought it had in common with Batman”
Not gonna lie, a spawn and the crow crossover would be more sick than batman crossover.
Spawn and Batman have nothing in common. Different race different origin. Spawn is the anti Batman. If anything ghost rider and spawn are very similar.
You can watch all of it seasons in RUclips
This needs to be on blu ray already
Thought there’s was a reboot was about to say but loved this show remember watching it on hbo at night while my girl was asleep
Hahah great intro!!!!! That drawing was 🔥
It's been so long since we have an r-rated animated cable tv series like this. I think it will be more prominent in streaming services.
I had a 900+ DVD collection. When I cut it down to just over 100 spawns HBO collection was one of the things I kept, found it at a pawn shop when I was 17 and couldn't help myself.

I watched it every weekend when it came on. Plus bought the DVDs. Way better than the live action movie rendition of the character.
I can't wait for Spawn to come to MK 11
Great reference to Ernest Scared Stupid at 4:27
This is less "everything you didn't know" and more "see how many times we can compare Spawn to Batman".
Spawn the animated series RULED!!! There aren't any animated series on this level.
Berserk
I guess its easier to say, but I can't stand when people call Malebogia the Devil. He's far from the Devil.
True, he's basically a Demon Lord created by the Devil.
Oddly Manmon is even lower than Malebogia. Lucifer is on the bottom of the pit.
Spawn isn’t family friendly and I like it.
Still have the DVD set. Teenage me loved this series so much.
spawn is closer to the crow actually than it is to batman...
Honestly, in over 20 years the comics didn't get even close to the quality of the TV show.
It's annoying how you keep comparing him to Batman. They are nothing alike
Well they are both dark and brooding
@@dilucii oh wow they must be twins
@@chronicler6162 you say they are "nothing alike" yet he just stated a similarity and you reply with sarcasm.
that intro cracked me the fuck UP. i was like, wait what kind of a maniac draws with a ballpoint pen lol
Keith David was hilarious in There's Something About Mary...... Franks and beans.
Sounds like Spawn could pull of sayin “War...war never changes.”
Please stand by for this announcement
WWAAAANNNDDAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

yes, the anwser is yes

Watch all the softcore available
I had completely forgotten the fact i never saw any of the spawn series now i gotta go do that THE VOICE ACTING IS OUT OF THIS WORLD!
His cape has a name. It's Leetha from the 7th house of K or 7k Leetha for short

I wish they would release a Blu-ray version.
Ok I would kill for a Spawn/ Crow crossover
The beeps where way too loud
Loved this series i was 5
I have this whole series. I wish Netflix make one
Darkest Heroes in the 90s:
Batman
Goliath
Spawn
This show needs a fucking real finale. Just finished watching and it’s ridiculous that it didn’t get a series finale.
Wait! Where's the third season?
I thought it was just two?
1:28 😆 I would sneak out the room at night to watch the spawn series on HBO. Even at my grandparents that went to church 3 times a week
Remember the back alley fight Keith David had with Roddy Piper in the movie They Live? With a voice like that don't assume he can't kick your ass too.
Shoutout to Ed Boon and NetherRealm studios...coming very soon homies!!!!
I didn't even know there was a Spawn cartoon...
It's a shame we didn't get more of this show.
Oh yes! This was my favorite show in middle and high school!!!!
Checking this out now 🔥🔥🔥
Let’s be honest a spawn movie handled really well could potentially become better than Joker which is fantastic.
Great job you and your guys are clean
I really want a reboot of this series. It was a good adult animated horror show.
Why has this not been picked up and continued how many years has it been??
Maybe Tim and David will come together and make a Batman Spawn cross over
Spawn voice actor voices Sargent Foley from Modern Warfare 2 and the Flame King from Adventure Time and the President in Rick and Morty
When I was 13 years old I was watching part of an episode when it was on HBO when we got Amazon prime that it was on there and had watched most of the episodes of it.
I thought it was Japanese animated because they had a heads up in adult animations I don't know what studio but I think it was animated in Japan.
I can't believe he didn't mentioned there is a comic book of Spawn & Batman together
"Instead of a utility belt, he has a magic cape."
Oh, so you mean NOTHING like Batman?
I love this series ❤.
Absolutely no one:
Spawn: *WANDA!*
