LEEE777 - Anyone that's read a Metal Men comic knows how great they are. It's fantastic to see their debut in all their glory in the new Batman cartoon show. I might add it is worth watching on Cartoon Network. Hey one day maybe we'll get a big budget feature film from Warner Bros. fingers crossed.
