Look, it’s been a
rough year for all of us. In times like these, we need heroes. Heroes like
Darkwing Duck.

As reported by Nerdist
and revealed by executive producer, writer, and story editor Frank Angones,
Darkwing Duck fans will be getting a treat in the next season of DuckTales. Among the list of episodes for the
new season, one of them, airing October 19th, is entitled “Let’s Get
Dangerous.” And it’s an hour-long special.

Angones went on in
his Tweets to confirm that, yes, this is an
“hour-long special Darkwing Duck event”, as he called it. Like a lot
of kids who grew up in the ‘90s, Darkwing Duck was personally very important to
me; I loved the character before I was old enough to realize that he was
incompetent and that his incompetence was, in fact, part of the joke. His general absence from the modern, rebooted Disney slate has made me incredibly sad—his
cameo appearances in this new DuckTales universe,
while delightful, have not yet slated my thirst. An hour of the bumbling,
purple-clad avenger? That is something
that criminals should fear, and that I should be excited about.

Let’s get dangerous
indeed.
