Editing Darkwing Duck (section)

====''DuckTales''====
In the ''[[DuckTales (2017 TV series)|DuckTales]]'' reboot, ''Darkwing Duck'' plays a major recurring role. At first, it appeared as an old television show which Launchpad McQuack is a fan of. The show itself first appears in the episode "Beware the B.U.D.D.Y. System!", which depicts Darkwing fighting Quackerjack, the Liquidator, and Megavolt. While watching the episode, Launchpad states that the actor portraying Darkwing is "an old school actor who did all his own stunts" named Jim Starling – a spoof of his voice actor, Jim Cummings; who reprises his role as the character alongside Michael Bell as Quackerjack.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ew.com/tv/2017/07/21/darkwing-duck-ducktales-revival/|title=Darkwing Duck Confirmed for 'DuckTales' Revival|website=ew.com|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170722093515/http://ew.com/tv/2017/07/21/darkwing-duck-ducktales-revival/|archive-date=July 22, 2017|df=mdy-all}}</ref> Other references include St. Canard's name being stated in the premiere episode and the name of the evil organization F.O.W.L. appearing as Easter eggs. Additionally, both F.O.W.L. and S.H.U.S.H. appeared in "From the Confidential Case Files of Agent 22!" The end-credits theme of ''Darkwing Duck'' appears in "The Last Crash of the Sunchaser!" as part of the show-within-a-show. In "Friendship Hates Magic", Launchpad and [[Mrs. Beakley]] watch a ''Darkwing Duck'' episode based on an actual episode, "The Haunting of Mr. Banana Brain", featuring Paddywhack.

Darkwing's first major role is in "The Duck Knight Returns", with Drake Mallard ([[Chris Diamantopoulos]]) replacing Jim Starling as Darkwing in a movie produced by [[Scrooge McDuck]]. After an insane Starling's attempt to kill Mallard results in the set's explosion and the former's presumed death, the movie is canceled. However, Launchpad convinces Drake to become a real superhero, while Starling, having secretly survived the explosion, becomes Negaduck. Drake later reappears in "Moonvasion!" to help thwart the Moonlanders, and at the end of the episode, F.O.W.L. plots to eliminate Scrooge and his family following the trouble they essentially caused; with Steelbeak ([[Jason Mantzoukas]]) among their ranks. Darkwing features prominently in the two-part episode "Let's Get Dangerous!", which introduces new incarnations of Gosalyn ([[Stephanie Beatriz]]) and Taurus Bulba ([[James Monroe Iglehart]]).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ew.com/comic-con/2019/07/19/ducktales-rescue-rangers-talespin/|title='DuckTales' surprises Comic-Con with 'Rescue Rangers,' Lin-Manuel Miranda|website=EW.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://screenrant.com/ducktales-season-3-trailer-darkwing-duck-theme-song/ | title=DuckTales Season 3 Trailer Brings Back Darkwing Duck & His Classic Theme Song|website=[[Screen Rant]]| date=October 12, 2020}}</ref> In the series finale "The Last Adventure!"
