I haven’t seen any ads with Moopets. It’s a small spoiler (or no spoiler at all if my hypothesis about Moopets are in the movie is incorrect). But still…. :-/ <–note the expression of annoyance, not of anger.

I know, it’s as though there was a quota that they can only put out a tiny number of all-ages work. Shame, cause those books usually end up being my favorites.

I’m excited to get this book for my kids, but I wish DC would stop cancelling its kids’ books once they add a new one. My kids miss you, Super Friends, and my son will miss you once you’re gone, Brave and the Bold.

Losing Tiny Titans is the real bummer, though, as they often had kid-friendly stories that centered on female heroes, and my preschool daughter loved those. But maybe Supergirl will get a chance to shine in the new book.

But the Moopets are in the ads? How does that spoil anything?

I should have known better than to read comments about “Superman Family Adventures” before seeing the new Muppets movie. :-/

Oh, my, my readers are so clever! That is quite the obscure reference.

“Fuzzy the Krypto Mouse” dates back quite a few years, appearing in a single story back in 1958: http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Fuzzy_the_Mouse_%28Earth-One%29

I read the story before so heard of the guy, but still, pretty obscure even by, say, “Batamn: The Brave and the Bold” standards. ;-) I assume the new Fuzzy will be the size of a regular mouse…

Ever since I saw the new Muppet movie, I can’t see the new DC outfits and not think of the Moopets.

Good catch, about the new outfit. Although if this is anything like Tiny Titans, they’ll be making fun of it soon enough.

With a supercat and a superdog, I guess they needed a supermouse to complete the pattern.

I'm pretty thrilled about this — right down to the use of the old Gaspar Saladino logo, tremendously nostalgic for me (although this version looks a mite awkward). Do they really have to use the New 52 version of the Superman outfit, though? Will they be doing the same for Supergirl and Superboy? Just who is Fuzzy the Krypto Mouse? Does that mean that in addition to him and Krypto the Super Dog there's a Doggie the Mousey Fuzz? What about Naomi?
