With so much material to draw from, it is a missed opportunity to add characters to the number cards. As you and others have said, it's an unusual selection that they have gone with for the court cards. I agree that it would have also been better with a red tuck and back design. Seeing the 2 ad cards that were in red makes me think they will offer that version in the future.

Yes, that is indeed the top from Inception :) 100% agree with the critique about the courts, that's why there's no way this deck will ever be a part of my collection, and that's ignoring the pathetic selling tactics t11 employed to "rarify" this product. Doesn't feel like WB at all with how restrained their choices were. In fact, it doesn't make any sense whatsoever to make such a deck if you're only going to nostalgize the courts and not the number cards, because there's too much classic stuff to include. Using 2 courts on Scooby-Doo is insane, as is pushing Batman, a deck t11 has already produced. I might have given more credit if the Batman art were modelled more around the animated series and if Harley's art were to match, but neither of those things were done. Where's 2001: A Space Odyssey, or Pan's Labyrinth, or The Matrix, or Magnolia, or The Fugitive, or Rush Hour, or Full Metal Jacket, or Goodfellas, or Nightmare on Elm Street, or Blade Runner, or The Shining, or Enter the Dragon, or Blazing Saddles, or The Exorcist, or The Maltese Falcon, or Casablanca, or The Lego Movie, or A Clockwork Orange, or The Treasure of Sierra Madre, or etc. etc. etc. I could go on for a LONG time. There is SO MUCH missing here. I get it, licensing fees and whatnot, but don't call it a WB deck if you're going to show us like 2% of the memorable properties.

I feel I must contend your point. With over 100 years to draw on for a 52-card deck not EVERY property could be represented which is why they stuck to the more recognizable ones like Goonies, Harry Potter, DC, Wizard Of Oz, Willy Wonka, Inception, LOTR, Elf, Scooby-Doo, and Looney Tunes but I will agree some properties were more represented than others got more than 1 with DC getting 4 when honestly, a Batman/Superman court card would be better and Wonka with two cards. I could easily free up space for 4 cards by skimming back the DC to one and one Wonka card to give four more IPs a card each like Nightmare On Elm Street, The Matrix, Goodfellas, and A Clockwork Orange.

@@muigokublack6487 I think you completely missed the point. Of course the limitations of a deck of playing cards prevents them from including everything, that goes without saying. My point was that this deck either shouldn't exist or should be called something else if there are this many properties missing. It's not the fault of the format that there are only 54 depictions available. Additionally, both our determinations of what is "recognizable" is very subjective.

New playing cards on Theory 11 are absolutely wonderful to play with other people and guests when WB's 100th Anniversary was complete with a spectacular timeline Celebration Ever! With Bugs Bunny being honoured as an icon introduction in the studio of Warner Bros. Pictures through films, in the future he could have Tom and Jerry share and publish a new biography entertainment career to make them a star with more enthusiasm life, after 84 years Bugs Bunny became a second cartoon character on December 10, 1985 receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame AKA Looney Tunes greatest character. On card designs it seems to me that Bugs Bunny does have Tom and Jerry right on top of him (from top to bottom), where every background cover made of art pattern symbols in is one in a half single shape especially this through each suit contains three or four face/court cards, with fantastic canvas printing materials of Bugs Bunny as King of Hearts and Tom and Jerry as Jack of Diamonds, but I additionally realized what this means that came on French-suited playing cards in style where I found on Wikipedia. Jack: A Jack or Knave, in some games referred to as a Bower, in Tarot card games as a Valet, is a playing card which, in traditional French and English decks, pictures a man in the traditional or historic aristocratic or courtier dress, generally associated with Europe of the 16th or 17th century. The usual rank of a jack is between the ten and the queen. King: The king is a playing card with a picture of a king displayed on it. The king is usually the highest-ranking face card. In the French version of playing cards and tarot decks, the king immediately outranks the queen. In Italian and Spanish playing cards, the king immediately outranks the knight. In German and Swiss playing cards, the king immediately outranks the Ober. In some games, the king is the highest-ranked card; in others, the Ace is higher. Aces began outranking kings around 1500 with Trappola being the earliest known game in which the aces were highest in all four suits. In the ace-ten family of games such as pinochle and Schnapsen, both the ace and the 10 rank higher than the king.

Instead of having two Batman rep cards and two Scooby-Doo rep cards, it would have been nice to see two more IPs get represented. Also, personally, I think the King of Hearts should of had Bugs AND Daffy. Perhaps also should have represented the Iron Giant on the ace of hearts instead of having two cards for Wonka?

I definitely agree with your commentary. I would have loved to have it be more nostalgia and a more cohesive choice of characters. That being said I love this deck and the art style, especially. I personally love the minimal tuck front despite being a departure from the ornate T11 style. Great review!

Definitely a deck fits for those who loves Warner Bros lovers - especially if you like Tom & Jerry, Scooby Doo, or DC Superheroes. This is the icing for the cake for those who collects WB stuffs, to celebrate the 100 years. Shame Fred got "chopped liver" (at least he could be referenced onto Daphne since he liked her XD), but it would be a GRAVE mistake (that might resulted in a witch hunt) if they left out both Shaggy and Scooby. Haven't watched the Goonies to be able to recognize JoS, until after watching this hahaha (don't judge me - I will watch it if can); so as the Ace of Diamonds that features the Maple Syrup referenced to Elf (will watch that too). And correct, the AoC is that top from "Inception", one of Nolan's best work! - the top is something the Dreamers used as a sign whether they are still in a dream or not. Great review as always~ You will always be my guide if I lack the knowledge on some characters in a deck ;)

Very few of the cards are really WB properties but acquistions. Tom & Jerry and WIZARD OF OZ are MGM, Willy Wonka was a David Wolper production released by Paramount; his library was later sold to WB along the intellectual property. DC was bought by WB. LORD OF THE RINGS was a New Line film and they too were bought by WB. Scooby Doo is Hanna Barbera and played CBS and then ABC. In 2001 Warner bought them. Obviously they were looking at pop icons they own and not celebrating Warner Brothers from JAA SINGER to Bogart, Cagney, EG , Robinson, Bette Davis , Errol Flynn, John Wayne, The Exorcist and many others. I am not too sophisticated about card rules but why no eyes?

On card designs it seems to me Dorothy Gale right on top of her (from top to bottom), where every background cover made of art pattern symbols in is one in a half single shape especially this through each suit contains three or four face/court cards, with fantastic canvas printing materials of Dorothy Gale as Queen of Hearts, but I additionally realized what this means that came on French-suited playing cards in style where I found on Wikipedia. Queen: The queen is a playing card with a picture of a queen on it. In many European languages, the king and queen begin with the same letter so the latter is often called dame (lady) or variations thereof. In French playing cards, the usual rank of a queen is between the king and the jack. In tarot decks, it outranks the knight which in turn outranks the jack. In the Spanish deck and some Italian decks, the Queen does not exist and the Knight appears in them instead, with the same role and value.
