#i wish we actually got that dwd reboot

is the leaked DWD artworks part of the DWD Reboot?

sry im dumn

From the information I've seen going around, no, the pitch given is one that was going to be connected to DT17 but ultimately got turned down. That's the only reason I even shared the artwork, because it seems like the project is dead in the water. I wouldn't want to spoil stuff if it was actually being produced. Information on any other type of DWD reboot is basically nonexistent, aside from like "maybe there's one coming???" I wish we had a clearer answer 😭

Okay this one was hard for me

All three are solid episodes

But I went with The Last Adventure!

I just think it’s a very solid ending

I love Let’s Get Dangerous! and The First Adventure! but at the same time both of them make me wish we had more (more pre canon episodes and more DWD episodes/actually got the reboot)

While The Last Adventure! I think ends beautifully and with a wonderful note of “Hey. This family is in a better place now. They all have their own families within their family and everyone is gonna keep on doing their thing and will take down any challenge they come across”

ROUND #3

With the amount of episodes we have- and the way math works- there does have to be a 3-way poll. Same rules still apply, the one with the most moves on, the other two are eliminated.

Headcanons for the guy that plays Quackerjack in Jim Starling's show? What would you like to see done with him in a potential DWD reboot, and with the actual Quackerjack character? I think we both agree Quackerjack is better off without excessive Joker characteristics!

Okay, so I've kinda kept this one to myself because I did want to get my hopes up or be disappointed when a preconceived notion gets dashed, but here's what I thought of about as far back as when they established that DWD was a show-within-a-show in DT17:

So, like, going with the naming convection that was established with "Jim Starling" adapted from "Jim Cummings", I thought "Mike Bill" would be a good approximation for the name of the in-universe actor who "plays" QuackerJack in the DT17 DWD show. Kind of a joke within a joke that way, on account of QuackerJack being known for his rather unique beak/bill, and since the VA for QuackerJack is named "Michael Bell", sooooo it just makes sense to me in that aspect.

So anyway, considering that it's implied that the last episodes of DT17 DWD had a dwindling budget and Jim had to really take on extra roles, so my assumption is that the prior "actors" left the show for one reason or another, and there's a line from Jim in "The Duck Knight Returns" that really stuck with me:

"One little boo-boo, and they fall apart."

So, what if, what if one if his co-stars got injured on set during a stunt since Jim insisted on having the stunts done himself, regardless of how dangerous they are.

What if

What if this was an incident where one of the "actors" was injured (remember, QuackerJack doesn't get up after this bit happens, and the scene continues on with him still flat on the ground), and it was because Jim insisted on doing the stunt himself instead of having a trained stunt man?

What if QuackerJack's "actor" was injured by this? Perhaps either a broken femur or damage to the back that resulted in him being unable to continue doing the types of actions QuackerJack as a character needs to be able to do, such as cartwheels and backflips?

So then I came up with the idea that he would have had to retire from acting, and then I thought maybe he ends up as a pediatric dentist, because it's still a job with making kids smile and probably can give out little chatter teeth toys out of the prize buckets for the kids having a good session. He'd also be making good money to pay for the physical therapy he'd need for the injury, and have a job where he wouldn't have to be moving around extensively, probably be allowed to scoot around on a swivel-stool, and still keep the energetic personality, but adapted into this type of scenario. A pediatric dentist would be more amusing than a normal one anyway, because the offices tend to have a more whimsical flair and it's practically expected to be eccentric for the sake of making the environment more inviting for someone who would find doctor settings unnerving.

Something that makes sense visually, while putting a twist on the character in a way that makes sense when you tilt your head a bit.

Because I just don't want him being a bitter miser who hid away for decades, stewing over how much he hates Jim/Negaduck for ruining his life. We're not doing that again, I'm tired of that angle. 👀

Also, Joker himself as a whole isn't really too bad of a character to take inspiration from, but I really wish people were more interested in the 1960s Joker from the Adam West Batman continuity

Like, this would be great to work off of

... Wishful thinking, I guess. 😅
