Captain Barbell meets Darna TV series news update

thanks to Raffy for this juicy news!

In addition to the news, i found out some additional comments regarding the “Captain Barbell Meets Darna” series.
As far as we’re concerned, we have no information on the premise of the team-up series.

I am mytified by an entry I found on “Captain Barbell meets Darna” on wikipedia. Apparently, someone (an insider perhaps? Or just an overzealous fan?) created a wikipedia entry claiming that Villains from both the solo Darna & Capt.Barbell series are going to be part of the cast.

One rumor says (and I repeat- RUMOR) that actress Jean Garcia is to play the role of BRAGUDA, the Anomalkan Queen of the doomed Planet Marte. This Braguda (the source claims) is a younger version of the role due to the blood of virgins she has apparently consumed. (Creepy!!) A character supposedly from Capt. barbell called “Levi”, it claims, is to be played this time by Ariel Rivera instead of Patrick Garcia.

Then the article says that a new character called “ATOMIKA”( a shapeshifter) will be introduced in the series and that this is a replacement for the “Darna” character of MOLECULA.

Whether this “Atomika” chracter is the same character introduced in Mango Comics’ ‘Lastikman’ one-shot graphic novel by Gerry Alanguilan and Arnold Arre remains to be seen.

I will update you guys on any additional information that I find out. Thanks for listening.

New Filipino comics TV series in GMA 7 for 2008

thanks to Raffy for informing us this great news!, Now I'm excited to see a cross over series of Darna and Captain Barbell.
I'm still thinking who will be the actors for Darna and Capt. Barbell. Also check out Robin Padilla as the Joaquin Buradado, the prison guy who turns his tattoo into living animals. its a big wow for 2008! another Pinoy comic classic on TV. Also Gilda Olvidado's Babangon ako at Dudurugin kita turns now into a TV series along with other Mars Ravelo's superhero comic Darna and Capt. Barbell. and lastly Carlo J. Caparas' Joaquin Burdado.

In the future, I hope they can turn some of the Ramon Revilla's classic movies into TV Series, thats one of my wishlist and yes I'll be happy to watch those and collect it. or for a crazy idea, how about Gilbert Monsanto's Digmaan ?

Hi Azrael

This is Raffy of the Official Darna Website.

Since this is a community for Pinoy Superhero fans, I just wanted to mention that GMA Network has released a teaser/trailer preview of 2 “Mars Ravelo Character” shows coming in 2008.

“Dyesebel” is coming and so is the eagerly anticipated “CAPTAIN BARBELL MEETS DARNA”. (Not the final title of the show. just a “working title” for now)
