It was a great moment that didn't pan out, but it was a great moment. Antiyonder 4 weeks ago 2 Well long before this arc was being done (Set in 1997), this entry from the Gargoyles history was given. But following a regime change, Weisman told Polygon, " Gargoyles became an old-regime show, and the idea of using it to create a Disney action universe completely fell away. So we began to develop all these spinoffs and backdoor pilots, like the New Olympians and the Pendragon episode, and others that we put into the second season," Weisman explained.
"He said, 'Well, Warner Brothers has DC Comics, we need to have an action universe like DC or Marvel.' And he turned to me and said, 'Could we use Gargoyles as the launching pad for a Disney action universe?' And I said yes. At the center of an "action universe" would be Gargoyles, which proved a "homerun" hit in its first season fueled by top toy sales. The action-oriented animated series predated The Walt Disney Company's purchase of Marvel Entertainment, but according to Weisman, then-Disney CEO Michael Eisner considered buying Marvel Comics to compete with rival Warner Bros., which controlled DC Comics characters like Batman and Superman.
