How do you figure that including Batman Beyond shortens Toonami? It's
going to be part of the block, and IMO it'll fit in better there than
it did on the WB. True, I'd rather see Toonami finish MSG first,
but I think they've decided that it's a lost cause in the afternoon
time slots. I think Batman Beyond fits Toonami better than
Card Captors, at least. What anime does CN have that they haven't
run into the ground recently? Sailor Moon, perhaps...Big O, Tenchi,
and even Gundam Wing probably need some more time out of
circulation before they can run again. And the old stuff (Voltron,
Robotech) tends to bring in bad ratings, just like MSG, so it's
pretty much out of the question even on the Midnight Run.

I see two hours of shows in the time slots there, and Batman Beyond
fits Toonami just as well as the original Batman animated series
did IMO. Just like I think the new Justice League series will fit
in there...
