Ah Darkwing Duck, a truly unique superhero among other things. Disney really did their homework to prepare this bumbler of a hero. The Shadow, Spider-man, James Bond and especially Batman thrown into the blender makes this one-of-a-kind masterpiece of an after school program special. I was into ducks before thanks to the equally good Ducktales and getting into detective stuff where there's both action and thinking involved as well. I like how the hero lets his ego control him (with hilarious results) and the engaging slapstick action with memorable one-liners, particularly the immortal, "Let's get Dangerous!" (Never gets old). Now as an adult I'm catching all the stuff I missed as a kid such as all the superhero and superspy references to several celebrity and movie references (including an On the Waterfront reference). I'm glad that Jim Cummings (the man who plays Darkwing Duck) won an Annie for his role. This cartoon now ranks as one of my all-time favorites.

When Disney still made a show worth watching and Saturday mornings were the best day of the week to be a kid, there was Darkwing Duck. He was a goofy crime fighter made up of an amalgam of Batman, The Shadow, and Daffy Duck who defends the city of St. Canard from various criminals. Darkwing's massive ego cause him to go glory hunting, chase easy money, and get his butt kicked a lot. He lives as Drake Mallard with his adopted daughter Goselyn Wottelmyer Mallard and sidekick/pilot Launchpad McQuack. Goselyn is a sugary food addicted, horror movie and comic loving, and hockey playing tomboy with tons of hyperactive energy. Her fun is typically destructive and causes Drake to lose his temper a lot but they maintain a loving relationship despite all this. Goselyn is usually along side Drake on his cases as Darkwing. Launchpad is a character from Ducktales, once the personal pilot of Scrooge McDuck, who's now Darkwing's sidekick and pilots the Thunder Quack, a jet plane that's Darkwing's primary transportation aside from his motorcycle. Launchpad is a sweet-natured goof who's not supposed to be very bright despite being an accomplished pilot. Honker Muddlefoot, Darkwing's neighbor and Goselyn's best friend, who's aware of Darkwing's secret identity and is the science nerd of the show. He comes with any technical solutions needed to solve any problems Darkwing comes up against. Darkwing's primary antagonist is Megavolt, an electricity-based mad scientist villain who talks to light bulbs. Nega-Duck, Darkwing's evil doppelgänger from another dimension, is sometimes portrayed as the arch-nemesis of Darkwing but makes fewer appearances on the show than Megavolt does. There was also Liquidator, a former bottled water tycoon turned into a living mass of water; Buschroot, a mad scientist duck-plant hybrid who could control plants and somewhat reminiscent of Batman villain Poison Ivy; and Quacker Jack, a theme park owner turned villain who was an amalgam of the Joker and Riddler.

"Darkwing Duck" was one of the great animated treasures of my childhood. I was only about six-years-old when this show began its original run on ABC, which was also during the same time that a wealth of animated cartoon shows were popping up featuring anthropomorphic animals as its lead characters. "Darkwing Duck" was one of the best to come out during this time. With its hip, New Jack-inspired opening theme song, the show is about its titular character, Darkwing Duck, a Batman-like, non-super-powered superhero who fights crime in St. Canard (surely this show's animated version of Batman's Gotham City). He's capable of getting the job done, surely enough, but he's very egocentric and desperate for fame and attention from the city's citizens and police officials. In his civilian identity, he is Drake Mallard, a typical, unassuming suburbanite who tries to be a good father to his adopted daughter Gosalyn, who learns of his superhero alter-ego pretty early within the series. Drake's best friend Launchpad McQuack is also his sidekick and pilot. "Darkwing Duck" is a fun show. Being a fan of comic book superheroes including Batman (who this show seems to delight in routinely parodying), I've always gotten immense enjoyment from watching it. One of the best things that can be said about "Darkwing Duck" is that it has a great, recurring cast of super-villains, including Megavolt (who can control electricity), Quackerjack (an insane former toymaker), Bushroot (a half-duck/half-plant mad scientist), Negaduck (an evil version of Darkwing Duck himself from an alternate dimension), and my personal favorite The Liquidator (whose entire body is made out of water). Each one is powerful enough to give Darkwing a significant challenge whenever they come to blows, but nonetheless Our Hero always triumphs in the end - this IS a kid's show, after all. "Darkwing Duck" was unfairly taken off the air a lot earlier than it should have been. This was during a boom time when there were all sorts of animated superhero cartoon shows on the air, like "Spider-Man: The Animated Series" and "Batman: The Animated Series." Thank goodness the advent of DVD has allowed this show a new after-life for a newer generation of TV-goers and old-school fans - like me - who grew up watching this show.10/10

I loved this show from the very first episode. Darkwing Duck makes an excellent and very realistic hero, one that makes blunders and mistakes, but always does his best to overcome them. He's devoted to his chosen position as St.Canard's protector, and he has a very normal weakness: his ego. His adopted daughter Gosalyn is spunky, but sweet. She's always adding spice, humor, and unique twists to the show. I can't forget Launchpad, DW's ignorant, but devoted sidekick. Without him, Darkwing might not have been so lucky in his cases. Or maybe not... Anyway, if any of these characters were missing, the show would have been can-celled long before.
