Adapting Comic Books to Cartoons

Just like the previous Chapter. Comic Book adaptions into Cartoons are also very common. 'Batman', Batman: The Brave and the Bold' and 'SpiderMan'. There's alot more than what I listed down. And I mean Alot more!

Movies included of course.

Stories are also ever-changing in each episode. Although sometimes for specials they do use a story from the comics.

For instance the Flash Point Arc was made into a movie. At this point I should mention the 3 elements I mentioned during the Book Chapters when we reached the TV, Cartoon and Movie mediums. However in this case it doesn't work entirely.

Here's a reminder:

What still applies is the pacing but only to a certain extent. Yes, the reader loses the freedom of pacing the story on their own. This doesn't play out alot though on the account of almost all the episodes that appear on any of the TV shows, Cartoons and Movies are usually original and aren't based on any of the Comics which means there's no reason for readers of the Comics to feel uncomfortable with the speed of it. As for Content and the 'Dialogue:Action' Ratio. Because a Comic Book is presented as a collection of frames, Speech Bubbles and Characters already drawn, there's no denying the length of the story because it's all story and an entire Comic Book illustrates what it's meant to look like.
