I watched the entire show on Youtube and it was a really thrilling and exciting show about the adventures of a young girl and her cat who bring out the "Bright Side Of The Dark Side". And looking at the characters themselves, what excited me was how their personalities reminded me of various DC Comics characters. Ruby was kinda like Superman: optimistic, friendly and positive and can make people see the bright outlook when they are down and out. Doom Kitty is like Batman: smart, helpful, always stays one step ahead, animal-based, obviously, and always figures out what is going on in the Mansion while her friends were still trying to figure it out themselves and sometimes saves the day in time, since warning her friends is almost impossible since she can't speak and pretty much one of my many favorite cartoon heroes of all time...and one of them that I wish had much larger appearances other than the ones focused on her. Anyway, Iris is just as adventurous, fearless and destructively wild as Harley Quinn. You know, when I saw Iris, I almost thought that she was Ruby's sister, given her shared hair style, skin color and attire. But I knew better now, since there was no way Ruby's mother could've been cyclops. Anyway, Skull Boy is kinda almost like The Joker, since both characters had an unexplained family past and are both men of many comical occupations and identities. However, the only differences are their roles, with Joker as a sadistic villain and Skull Boy as a heroic thespian. Misery is like Raven: both characters are dark and moody and warn their friends of the consequences of certain disasters. However, the difference is that while Misery brings bad luck to herself, Raven prevents bad luck. And Misery is a banshee, while Raven is a half-demon hybrid. Poe is kinda like The Penguin: both are elegant, upper-crust, pampered and sophisticated and have a bird-like appearance, which is figurative for Penguin and literative for Poe, since Poe is a crow. Hey! That rhymes. Anyway, Frank and Len are kinda like Firestorm, since they are both two men owning one body and are very professional in cultural arts. Difference is that Firestorm is a professional in science and Frank and Len are professionals in ear-bleeding rock music. I'm not really sure what kind of comparisions to DC characters that Scaredy-Bat and Boo Boo have with since i can't really think of any such DC characters that are afraid of almost everything or love to pull pranks on unsuspecting people. But...that is my opinion on the characters and that is how I love them. It's a shame that despite how awesome this show was, the petition to get it renewed wasn't really successful. I wonder why. Oh, well. I am sure at some point, this show will most likely get a reboot, since a lot of other shows from the 2000s and 90s are getting rebooted. You know, if they were to make a reboot of this show, they should add some new stuff different from the original, such as: keep the original animation, but add some of Tim Burton's style to it, probably give the reboot a serial format, probably make it a Netflix Original Series, probably some new characters, like probably a swamp monster or a wolfman or a mummy or a giant undead monster or a vampire or a zombie or something like that...and for god's sake, they should probably give Doom Kitty a speaking voice, cuz as much as I like providing, thinking up and imitating dialogue for silent characters based on their expressions, it kinda does drive her crazy when most of the time, nobody can understand what they're saying, and it kinda drives me crazy, too! Anyway, that is my review for this show. And in conclusion, it was really awesome!
