Stone by day, warriors by night, the gargoyles were betrayed by the humans they had sworn to protect and were frozen in stone for a thousand years.
It was a great moment that didn't pan out, but it was a great moment. One thousand years ago, superstition and the sword ruled. 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. In addition to dealing with the gargoyles' attempts to adjust to modern New York City, the series also incorporated various supernatural threats to their safety and to the world at large.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. While trying to adjust to their new world, they are aided by a sympathetic police officer named Elisa Maza and quickly come into conflict with the plotting Xanatos. Most are betrayed and killed by humans while petrified and the remainder are magically cursed to sleep-i.e., be frozen in stone form until the castle "rises above the clouds." A thousand years later in 1994, billionaire David Xanatos purchases the gargoyles' castle and has it reconstructed atop his New York skyscraper, the Eyrie Building, thus awakening Goliath and the remainder of his clan. In 994, the clan lives in a castle in Scotland. In June 2005, it was announced that a series of Disney-licensed, bi-monthly Gargoyles comic books would be created by Slave Labor Graphics in association with. The series features a species of nocturnal creatures known as gargoyles that turn to stone during the day, focusing on a clan led by Goliath. Now, here in Manhattan, the spell is broken, and we live again! We are defenders of the night! We are Gargoyles! Stone by day, warriors by night, We were betrayed by the humans we had sworn to protect, frozen in stone by a magic spell for a thousand years. One thousand years ago, superstition and the sword ruled.
