But Sunday’s birthday celebration was designed to be kid-inclusive while [...]

Due to his comedy stylings in the upcoming Robot Chicken DC special, Aquaman gets his own Robot Chicken variant cover for issue #12. We actually find this gaudy cover quite invigorating.
In the beloved tradition of their Star Wars and Green Lantern smash-ups, Robot Chicken is taking on the DCU, and here’s the trailer. Clocking in at 2 minutes, that’s more than 10% of the shows running time, so hopefully some jokes still await.
Tonight it’s an all new episode, by Cole Sanchez and boarded by Rebecca Sugar who offered this charming preview image.
