The live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sequel is bringing more fan favorites to the franchise.
As first announced at Paramount Pictures’ CinemaCon panel (via The Hollywood Reporter), the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 will feature Bebop and Rocksteady. These two characters first appeared in the 1987 TMNT cartoon and have also made appearances in the latest cartoon revival of the heroes in a half shell.
Bebop and Rocksteady work alongside Shredder and the Foot Clan, and – as visible in the image above – are a mutated warthog and rhino, respectively. They were also responsible for one of the most shocking moments in the currently running Turtles comics.
Little else is known about the sequel, which is currently scheduled for release in 2016. The original 2014 film took in more than $480 million worldwide at the box office.
A representative for Paramount did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

SMMFH yup I'm not watching this ?

Uh there's nothing wrong with keeping comic relief characters as well...comic relief characters.
Frankly you can't have something with a title as absurd as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and not include comedy elements.
The current comic book series by IDW shows that the characters could work as "bad ? " that cater to the more bloodthirsty "everything must be grim and gritty" modern day mass media audience while still keeping their comic relief factor completely intact.
Considering what this movie is a sequel to though I don't have real faith that whatever they do with Bebop & Rocksteady will be worth watching cause quite frankly I don't think the movie itself will be worth watching. -
But the Turtles in the comics started "grim in gritty". That wouldn't be a "modern take" for them. The first movie took itself pretty seriously (yes, there was some relief, but nothing like everything after) and its still, by far, the best TMNT movie and one of the best comic book movies ever.

The same "grim and gritty" Turtles comic book series you're talking about also had them making lewd jokes while drinking beers like a bunch of bros and were packed to the brim with humor even in the way it executed the over the top violence. TMNT is a satire. It started as a parody of 80's Daredevil comic books.
Go back and watch that "serious" original movie you're talking about (which I love). There is more humor than your post even cares to imply. A lot more. The difference is that unlike the sequels there is a balance. It's not supposed to be all jokes but naturally it's a premise that doesn't lend itself to be humorless in any way by nature. -
Still watchin.

Somehow completely missed my point. -
Shredder was a beast in the last movie

Your point was that TMNT started as grim and gritty. Yeah and? it doesn't mean that it's a property devoid of humor especially as it's "grim and gritty" nature was a byproduct of it's satirical origins in the first place.

Imagine a Turtles movie directed by Nolan or Peter Jackson
