Black Lightning Hong Kong Phooey Special #1

While it was fun to see Black Lightning in his original outfit, I simply couldn't get past the modern life like version of Hong Kong Phooey. This serious, almost spiritual version of the beloved cartoon icon doesn't get to jump into a file cabinet, drive the all purpose car, or have the characters from the police station. Hong Kong's dialog could not have been spoken by Scatman Cruthers. This is a perfect case of why DC should have taken the real cartoon aspect of these characters and left well enough alone. These are characters which are suppose to look odd and goofy, don't have the same impact as their new life like counterparts.
