S.R. Hunt I was born in 1998, so I never watched Darkwing on TV. However, I recently started watching it and, holy cow, is it awesome! And this is coming from a 17 year old girl! I freaking adore Darkwing's self centered personality. I think we all dream about being praised as a hero at some point, but Darkwing is addicted to that feeling, and I freaking love it! I also adore the rest of the characters, I love Gosalyn's smart ass remarks, Bushroot is a sympathetic villain, and everyone is just awesome! Well except Commit Guy...I really don't like him...but he's only in two episodes (as far as I know) so it's all good. My favorite episode is probably "Darkly Dawns the Duck", it has the right amount of action-packed and heart-felt moments. If you love Disney, or Batman, seriously check this show out!

Shawn Watson Of all the Disney franchises my favorite has to be Duck Tales. Many people think that Duck Tales was merely an 80s TV show and never went further than Saturday morning but in reality it has a very rich history going back decades and if you think that it spoofs Indiana Jones you'd be wrong because it's actually the other way around.Darkwing Duck was a spin-off of Duck Tales, taking place in the same universe but transplanting the action from Duckburg to St. Canard. The only regular returning character was bumbling pilot Launchpad McQuack but he was my favorite, though Gizmoduck does make a couple of appearances.Darkwing himself, ordinary Drake Mallard by day, is a sort of cross between Batman, The Scarlet Pimpernel and The Shadow. He's a crime-fighter with absolutely no abilities other than his determination to beat the bad guys though his is utterly confident in himself and craves media attention. With Launchpad as his sidekick and the occasional help from his daughter Goslyn he tackles a variety of strange villains, winning usually by chance.I've often thought that a hero can only be measured by his nemesis and unfortunately none of the Darkwing Duck bad guys are up to much, but that's fine since Darkwing himself is sort of incompetent. Episodes set during the daytime contradict the noirish nature of the show and the best episodes are the ones set in the shadows and dark alleyways. I know that this is a kids show and is not necessarily in the same league as the Batman animated series but it does seem to be selling itself short in this regard. Duck Tales frequently had very dynamic and imaginative stories while Darkwing Duck is sort of hit-and-miss. That's my only complaint though.Darkwing Duck still has loads going for it, including a brilliant theme song and his memorable signature catchphrase 'Let's get dangerous' (or 'It's gonna get scary big-time' as they say in France). There still life in this bird yet and with the Scrooge McDuck universe still popular to this day then we might just see him return some time.

crowrobot When I was growing up, a little child of the 90's, the coolest show around (in my opinion) was Disney's highly hilarious superhero cartoon "Darkwing Duck". Every chance I got I followed the adventures of the egotistical crime fighter. Sadly, those days are gone and done, with mostly crap cartoons littering the networks these days. But "Darkwing Duck" reigns supreme.One thing that you always remember about the show was it's sense of humor. The jokes ranged from cartoony pratfalls to satire to the just plain odd. The voice talent is also hilarious, with the immortal Jim Cummings in the spotlight as the title role (and about 4 or 5 other characters). Cummings was truly uproarious as the crimefighter with "the ego the size of a small planet" (in one villain's words).It's been a long time since "Darkwing Duck" was canceled. But it lives on in all children of the 90's memories. Disney, PLEASE release a DVD!

talbaineric This Disney show defined all Saturday Morning cartoons or pretty much allcartoons in general these days. Darkwing Duck was one of those types ofcartoons where you knew every single character and cherished the theme songby heart. It was one of my favorite shows when I was a kid and here's to hoping there will be a DVD release of it in the future. Along with classic Disney TV toons like Talespin, Gummi Bears, Goof Troop and Bonkers, this show will forever be remembered by a generation that grew upwith him and all the other shows mentioned!
