That is interesting. Not sure how many kids shows they will be able to make outside of Chrononaughts, but I'm interested in seeing what is to come.

@RancidBane - Haha, exactly what I was thinking. I saw the picture of Nemesis and then I read "kids' shows." lol

@BrettMan - Netflix has a pretty good batting average right now. So I will trust their vision and see what they have in store before I cast judgement.

We need Nemesis as a movie. I love the idea on Netflix. But I want to be in a theater watching that shit. That STORY NEEDS TO BE TOLD!

I'd rather see Nemesis be a tv show. It'll be more comic accurate firstly but then since it's on Netflix it'll be gory the way it should be and finally it will be serialized just like the comic.

DO IT NETFLIX!

@Ineedrevelation - Nemesis is way to short to be a TV show I would think.

Wonder if theyll blow up the Kick-Ass films or if theyll continue from where they left off with a series or netflix film. Also curious if this means we'll get crossovers or a single continuity and if this will affect the kingsmen films

@Ha1frican - Kick-Ass and Kingsman are not included in the deal.

@MarkJulian - ahh that kind of sucks. I understand Kingsmman a sits succesful but Kick-ass is essentially dead so i wish they had it
