I’ve already said it a few times on this blog recently, but I have developed a new respect for Bebop and Rocksteady in my growing years. I don’t think I much cared for them in the 80s, when they were bumbling henchmen to the Shredder in the old Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon. But as I grow older, I find myself liking them and their potential more and more.

Which is why I’m so ashamed that I missed this awesome Bebop and Rocksteady news from earlier this year!

They’ll probably moider me now!

Fortunately, there’s been a new bump in content, so I can safely announce it today without too much Internet scorn.

Is anybody else watching the new Ninja Turtles cartoon on Nickelodeon? It’s actually a very good show. The animation is top notch, the mythology is expertly crafted; it really is a love letter to all things awesome about the Ninja Turtles. I have nothing but good things to say about the cartoon – except that their villains are terrible. All of them. Across the board. For the most part.

Fortunately, that’s about to change!

In the interest of SPOILERS, I’m going to wait until after the jump to reveal the awesome news!
