Rich Fogel Talks 'A Knight of Shadows Part 2': "Magic is Just Beginning"
By Jim Harvey

Toon Zone was able to talk to producer Rich Fogel about the conclusion of the two part Justice League episode A Knight of Shadows Part 2, which airs this Friday at 7pm on Cartoon Network.

Morgaine Le Fay"Many of our faithful viewers have noticed that the version of Etrigan in "A Knight of Shadows" is quite different from the version that appeared in the New Batman Adventures show," said Rich Fogel. "Although we liked the version that appeared before, we wanted to move a little closer in look and in spirit to Jack Kirby's original vision of the character. Now, Etrigan is smaller, meaner and much nastier - totally unwholesome - which is appropriate for a demon from Hell."

"This creepier version works great off the Justice League simply because they are so heroic, and he is almost their exact opposite," Rich Fogel continued. "He even looks like he smells bad. Yet they must work together to stop Morgaine. Etrigan is literally possessed with the need for revenge against the evil sorceress, and sparks fly whenever any crosses him. Writer Keith Damron did a wonderful job bringing out the subtleties of the characters and used biting humor to great effect in this dark story."

Rich Fogel concluded by leaving us with some teasing questions that this episode will hopefully answer...

"Will Morgaine get the Sorcerer's Stone? Will J'onn be reunited with his family? What happens to Harv Hickman? Watch "A Knight of Shadows: Part Two", because the magic is just beginning..." Rich Fogel concluded.
