Batman:The Animated Series Tribute Thread

[Morgoth]

For all things TAS, pics, memories and so on.

The first time I saw the show Fox ran a sneak peak and it was the RedClaw episode, the two parter featuring Catwoman.

I loved everything about it. At first I was a bit dissapointed the show didn't look just like the comics, but I got used to it. Not that I didn't like the style, I did.

The show is so awesome. I wish it could've gone on forever. I once said I didn't like when the show's style changed but I take all that back, I don't think the WB show looked as good but was still so awesome, especially comapred to the crap on tv nowadays like the new The Batman, which is such an insult to Batman.

I was so happy to see the show had the elfmann theme, not exactly the same as the movie but a new version for the cartoon that stayed true to the movie theme.

I loved how they took the Riddler and gave him real character and the Mr. Freeze origin rocks!

[Bat Attack]

Damn, I love this show SOOOOOO much. It is probabley my favorite incarnation of the Batman character. Paul Dini, Bruce Timm, and co. are geniuses! :up: :up:

[Bathead]

Look, I loved the show too, But can we please make this thread just about TAS, and not a forum for bashing the new show?

[Silver Sable]

One of my favorite 90's cartoon :up:

[doggpoundcrip]

so with four volumes on dvd....is that every episode?

[Bat Attack]

Pretty much

[TheGrayGhost]

so with four volumes on dvd....is that every episode?

The four volumes (which to 109 episodes) cover all of the BTAS. Although Batman Beyond is basically an extension of BTAS. I recommend that you buy the first season of BB March 21st along with the first Season of Justice League.

It was really a great show.

[Beelze]

I have found memories of catching this show after school on Cartoon Network, several years ago. I had to buy the DVD collections (I haven't gotten the 4th one yet though). It'd be pointless to list the things I liked or loved, because that would be pretty much everything. One of the greatest cartoons and TV shows ever. The only thing I sort of disliked was that they didn't exactly cover Batman's origin, while they devoted two episodes to Robin's backstory.

Speaking of origins, the two episodes that show how Dent became Two-Face are some of my favorites. You really feel sorry for him, even before he becomes Two-Face (with his anger problems and so on). Throughout the story, you know what's going to happen, but you keep hoping that it won't. It was all so sad.

I get teary every time Bruce says "then... the nightmare is over", and when, in the next scene, he hugs his dad. For those who don't remember, that's in the episode where the Mad Hatter has Batman caught in a virtual reality... a virutal reality in which his parents are still alive and someone else does the job Bruce did as Batman. One might argue that the Mad Hatter should've just killed Batman (or at least taken off his mask to learn his true identity) and that the episode had too much fantasy/sci-fi, but I liked it.

Another great moment is when Hugo Strange uses his device too visualize Bruce's thoughts. They're talking about the death of his parents and Hugo asks how he felt at the time of that and afterwards, to which Bruce replies "I wanted... revenge!", consequently causing the Bat symbol to appear on the thought-reading device's monitor. Also an episode that many would say had too much sci-fi/fantasy in it. I guess I agree about that (same goes for the Mad Hatter episode mentioned above.)

Well, I don't want to put all my impressions in one gigantic post, so I'll stop here. :)

[Morgoth]

Last night I watched If you're so smart why aren't you rich, and The Strange Secret of Bruce Wayne.

There are some that really stand out from the series, they are all good but some really stand out.

For me those episodes are...

Two-Face, Robin's Reckoning, Nothing to Fear, The Scarecrow episode when he was betting on the football games at Dick's college 'cause he was using his toxin on the players, the Ra's two parter, ther's just something about the stories and artwork that stands out, that was just a bit better than the rest, just like the first episode with Mr. Freeze, the animation and story in that show was just excellent.

Old villians that didn't have much to them were given great revamps like The Riddler and Freeze.

I was so happy that in the WB version the Penguin went to his classic look. I like the movie incarnation but not near as much as the original.

Speaking of looks, the way some of the characters were done was better than previous looks in the comics etc, in my opinion, the animated Catwoman is my fave look of her, Two-face had a nice style, I once saw a drawing of Face by Timm that had him sitting at a table with a cigarette in his hand, it just looked cool.

It was so nice to see Batman taken seriously and with respect, let alone a cartoon to be done so well.

It was also nice to see real guns, instead of them wussing out and avoiding all that. A few cartoons at the time would use laser guns at times and it didn't work.

It even showed that it could be better than the live action films, Sub zero was way better than Batman and Robin. Ofcourse the best Batman animated movie is MOTP, I just wish I'd seen it at the movies, I regret not going and seeing this great incarnation of the DarkKnight on the big screen. Oh,well.

[Morgoth]

Look, I loved the show too, But can we please make this thread just about TAS, and not a forum for bashing the new show?Not about that but when talking about the great 90's series you can't help but point out how horrible that new show is. I tried watching it but, it is unwatchable and an insult to Batman.

Now, reading again, I see that you said that you would post some. :O
I hope you don't mind. :up:

[Silver Sable]

I don't mind at all :)

[Iceman/Psylocke]

One of the best animated shows :up:

[mathhater]

What about the DVD's? I think all the seasons are out now, but I remember one that's not in any of the sets. It's a Ra's Al Ghul episode in which Ra's has taken on Talia's identity. I'm fairly sure I've watched all the dvd's, but I suppose I could've missed one...I remember Batman's line toward the end..."What are you complaining about?...She kissed ME..."

And I also found this description of another (?) episode entitled "Demon Reborn"

Batman comes to the rescue of Superman as Ra's Al Ghul, known as "The Demon" attempts to steal Superman's powers.

I don't see either of these on the dvd's....I find this disturbing.

[DeGenerate10]

I remember that episode but I don't know what season its on

[Bathead]

I believe that episode where Ra's takes over Talia's body is a Batman Beyond episode isn't it?

[Silver Sable]

Yeah and it was called Blast From The Past I think

[MinNoir]

Lord, BTAS. I grew up watching this, this is what did me in for Batman. A little elementary kid, watching Batman. For me this was my thing growing up Batman and Power Rangers, okay I was a dork. I loved all the superhero cartoons. Okay, now I feel old, but I loved it my favorite. Batgirl. I thought finally! A girl bats that kicks major ass, okay I didn't say it like that but basically the same manner. Catwoman and Ivy thought they rocked, and Harley made me laugh. :D fond... fond... fond memories.

[Whack Arnolds]

Always liked B:TAS, but always felt fans severely overrate it.

[mano012sg]

I loved evrything about batman TAS. In fact I was introduced to batman via the movie followed by the animated series--which had the greatest impact. The dark-deco batman and the first robin--costumes are awesome, the batmobile was real nice--almost real...except that I feel the new "the batman" boatmobile is more functional. I mean...what's the purpose for such a large bonnet for BTAS? to house fighter plane engine? surely bat-world nanotechnology could replicate the physics in a more modest propulsion system. but nevertheless...the batmobile was raw awesome power. You could almost feel it's cold black steel just by watching it. great animation! as for bat's fantastically believable ninja.

A really good batman movie say Batman Begins sequel...would do best to personify bats as a dark person from BTAS. its really an ideal study of batman. it would have made batman creators really proud of their work exceeding expectations!

[Cobblepot]

For all the fans of BTAS is highly recommend this book:

Paul Dini / Chip Kidd: Batman Animated
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f67/Cobblepot81/batanim.jpg

It has many illustrations and gives you a lot of background info about the show and hwo it came to be.

[Fledermaus]

I watched the "Legends of the Dark Knight" episode yesterday. I laughed my ass off when they met that fruity little kid named Joel. Joel says "Who's talking about Batman? I love Batman.All those muscles, the tight rubber armor.And that flashy car. I heard it could drive up walls." The other kids say "Yeah sure, Joel." That is hilarious.

[Oniishin]

Just a quick note, sorry if this is old news or anything, but if you have Boomerang you can watch Batman The Animated Series everynight at midnight eastern time.

Great episode, I love it just to see Dick Sprang's style come to life.

I was thinking about the Clayface episode the other night, that was another where the animation just stood out, the first episode with him I mean, like when he's freaking out in front of all the tvs at the end and turning into all the characters he's been in his films and as Clayface, it was just beautiful animation.

[newwaveboy87]

best. show. ever.

[Mister J]

I loved this show and own all 4 volumes. The characterization of the character was perfect and they hit on so many of the dynamic relationships in the Bat-universe.

We got a new Mr. Freeze origin and the creation of Harley Quinn. That's just badass.

edit: How could I not make special mention of Mark Hamill's masterful performance as the beloved Clown Prince of Crime.:joker:

[newwaveboy87]

let us not forget animated versions of Mad Love, The Laughing Fish, Demon's Quest, The Dark Knight Returns, a kickass Scarecrow redesign, the greatness that is Mark Hamill as Joker, and the dark deco look.

pure, simple, goodness.
and that's all just on the surface of the show.

[Silver Sable]

Scarecrow's design in TNBA sucked.He looked like a grim shepard

[newwaveboy87]

that was his best look in my opinion. he looked completely freaky.
it was better than the one he had in his first appearance - Nothing to Fear. where he looked like the Scarecrow from Oz in a muted color scheme. nothing to freaky or disturbing about that.

BTNA redesign will always be my favorite.

[Two-Face]

I was so happy that my dad got this Batmobile from TAS but I wanted Returns Batmobile but my dad got this toy never the less I loved playing this Batmobile that came with Batman toy and BatPersuitjet, anyone remmeber this?

Yeah his 1st design sucked but the 2nd one was great

[newwaveboy87]

the second one was pretty good.
but can we agree that the Scarecrow had one of the best episodes EVER in the series with "Dreams In Darkness"?

[Silver Sable]

Yep.That was a creepy episode :up:

[newwaveboy87]

it's my fave Scarecrow episode!
althought Never Fear and Over the Edge are some good ones too.

[Mister J]

Over the Edge was incredible.

[Silver Sable]

Fear Of Victory was good too

[newwaveboy87]

eh...i'm not big on Fear of Victory.
it seemed kinda....i dunno. something just doesn't tickle my fancy about that episode.

[Silver Sable]

B/c he was betting on money and the players who were exposed to his fear gas?

[newwaveboy87]

maybe...it just seemed rather...i don't even know.
i think it works best when Scarecrow is making a character go through deep psychological stuff, not making petty bets on sports events he's rigging.

but he had a great reveal in that episode. very cool.

I love Heart of Ice :up:

I watched the show when it began in 93 (I think) and have been a fan of just that show ever since. Sure, I already was a fan of Batman with the B89 movie but this show was just perfect. Anyway, if any of you guys want to view and hear the original BTAS title cards, I've been putting them up on YTMND. Here's almost the whole list Click and Enjoy (http://www.ytmnd.com/users/profile) oh, but it does have some of my other creations in there.

i love his liar in the abandonned amusement park

He got more episodes than a bunch of other Batman villains.

[newwaveboy87]

true...but really...what else could they have done with Bane on a Saturday morning cartoon show? and i was never a big fan of Riddler.

Scarecrow only got 3 episodes in BTAS...:(
not counting cameos which...he usually just stood in the background and did nothing. they overused Penguin, and if it's not BR Penguin i'm not too big a fan.

[newwaveboy87]

i always liked what they did with

http://clampettstudio.com/images/opc/june2004/dc/54)-Poison-Ivy.jpg

[Mr. Socko]

Me too, as for Scarecrow, he was great in TAS, much better done then in Begins. I'm a fan of Riddler and I like the intelligent TAS Riddler. Bane only had 1 TAS episode and it was ok.

[newwaveboy87]

TAS Riddler was my favorite version of the character! but his three appearances were enough for me. although he got shafted big time in BTNA

[Mr. Socko]

Get people who look like the characters, and have the original voice cast voice-over their dialogue. To what purpose you ask? other than it would be a box-office hit, I don't know....maybe the greatest fan film the world has ever known.

I definitely agree to some extent. It would be great to have a Live Action Batman show after Nolan is finished with his Trilogy. But they just need to cast good actors, not necessarily dub their voices. I think it should be a 1 hour show on WB. I'm sure it would be better then Smallville and the new Blade show, which looks bad. The atmosphere should be dark like in TAS. I think it should have the feel of TAS and Dead End(minus the stupid aliens and whatever). Clark Bartram who was Batman in Dead End did a great job, had the physique, and he nailed a perfect Kevin Conroy voice. Get someone like him to be Batman. Oh and ofcourse have Batman wear tights.

Thats one thing I always thought was dumb, Batman wears a heavy rubber suit in the movies when he should wear a cloth suit with kevlar under it. I mean seriously, if someone was going out to fight crime they wouldn't limit themselves with 40 pounds of useless rubber. And kevlar is the thin bullet proof padding he should wear under it.

[newwaveboy87]

i think, if they were going to have a live action Batman show again it should be on HBO. then it could be free of basic TV restrictions on violence, swearing, nudity, and subject matter. imagine the possibilities.

[Mr. Socko]

And we could get episodes like The Long Halloween. Good thinking.

Thank goodness I have HBO if this was a reality:up:

[Silver Sable]

There should had been a halloween episode with Scarecrow

[Bullseye]

That would rock.

[gregtestagent]

Now that Bruce Tim and his team are supposedly done with Justice League Unlimited (shame) maybe they might try something crazy like that. My advice to them is "Don't Go With FOX!" if it's a T.V. show, or a movie for that matter.

[Super_Ludacris]

While its good to see a thread with all the DC Animated stuff, aint this like 3rd or 4th thread morogoth made on this?

Now all I need to do is find that site of that kid who made Dini/Timm style drawings of DC stories and non-DC characters (Marvel, Matrix etc)

lemme look round...

I am not commenting on what you said. Just comenting on the fact that the Scarecrow suit in the old TAS after that one was the best in any of the animated series. In the newer TAS I did not like the re-vamp of him looking way too creepy and having that noose around his neck...looking like some sadistic preacher.

that was my favorite look for him! the Leatherface-esque mask, the noose, the creepy outfit and voice, the fact that his skin looked diseased...LOVED IT!

[newwaveboy87]

And we could get episodes like The Long Halloween. Good thinking.

Thank goodness I have HBO if this was a reality:up:
yeah, they could do an entire season for The Long Halloween, and another one for Dark Victory, and possibly kick it all off with a revamped Year One? and end it all with a Dark Knight Returns...AMAZING!

ok...i've officially entered LA LA/Wishful Thinking Land.

[gregtestagent]

that was my favorite look for him! the Leatherface-esque mask, the noose, the creepy outfit and voice, the fact that his skin looked diseased...LOVED IT!
That noose put's Scarecrow at a disadvantage when concerning close-quarters-combat. It better be a break-away rope or he might just snap his neck during a scuffle.

[newwaveboy87]

*shrugs*
a lot of the designs aren't terribly practical. Robin wears red, green, and yellow while running around in the shadows. Poison Ivy wears what amounts to a swim suit, how is that supposed to offer protection?

just go with the insanity!

Only part that I liked about that scarecrow was the creepy voice.

[newwaveboy87]

yes, his new voice worked much better than the overemoting the first guy did. he was trying to hard to be...creepy, but he just sounded like Fraiser in the middle of a mental breakdown.

[trustyside-kick]

Another villain that I did not like the re-vamp was the Mad Hatter. Maybe not the clothes...but I did not like the face that was all pale and made him look like some child molestor. Also a small thing was the gray/white hair. :P

[newwaveboy87]

i liked both of Mad Hatter's looks.
wasn't MH a pedophile in the comics? the look works well i think.

the redesigns i didn't like were The Riddler and Joker. they got rid of Riddler's cool looking business suit and put in him in a leotard? wtf? and Joker lost his red lips and gained beady rat eyes...why?

[trustyside-kick]

i liked both of Mad Hatter's looks.
wasn't MH a pedophile in the comics? the look works well i think.

I thought Mad Hatter took control of girls or rather kidnapped them..but for ransom purposes and stuff like that..not being a pedophile..I don't know exactly either.

[TheGrayGhost]

the most underused villian on BTAS (IMO of course)

http://www.moviepoopshoot.com/comics101/images/2004/mar17/scarecrow.jpg

Most of the episodes he was in were exceptional. In fact, Over The Edge which featured him prominently, was the single best episode of all the series in my opinion. But I think the most under-used was definitely The Riddler.

[TheGrayGhost]

I thought Mad Hatter took control of girls or rather kidnapped them..but for ransom purposes and stuff like that..not being a pedophile..I don't know exactly either.

He basically is.

[trustyside-kick]

Wait a sec though...after reading some info about Mad Hatter he was not some pedophile...he took control of some teenages girls to sell them to some asian dictator...so where did all this peophile crap start? I have seen it multiple times in threads. Everything else Mad Hatter has done was control people to do crap for him like robbing banks...heck even took control of Scarecrow and Killer Croc once.

[Mr. Socko]

Never knew mad Hatter was a pedo

ROFLMAO!!!!

[newwaveboy87]

Most of the episodes he was in were exceptional. In fact, Over The Edge which featured him prominently, was the single best episode of all the series in my opinion. But I think the most under-used was definitely The Riddler.
i know! the fact that most of his episodes were so good made me want to see him in the series more. i've never been a big Riddler fan, but i enjoyed his animated series incarnation.

[Abaddon]

I just want to say,I hated the transition to Gotham Knights.Many of the villains were redesigned atrociously,and their behavior was radically different(i.e. Catwoman).

[newwaveboy87]

how was her attitude radically different?

[deathshead2]

i know! the fact that most of his episodes were so good made me want to see him in the series more. i've never been a big Riddler fan, but i enjoyed his animated series incarnation.I remember the writers saying making episodes for the riddler was real hard. To bad really he had some good episodes.

[newwaveboy87]

I remember the writers saying making episodes for the riddler was real hard. To bad really he had some good episodes.
i'd imagine writing him would be difficult. you've got to come up with riddles for his crimes that fit in with his personality and what-have-you. it seems like an easier gimmick than what it really is i bet.

[Abaddon]

how was her attitude radically different?


Actually I may be thinking about the new adventures.In any case in BTAS she was more a vigilante,and in later incarnations she became more manipulative and less heroic.Which is actually more like her comic counterpart,but the progression was just unnatural.:confused:

[newwaveboy87]

mmm...not really, the progression was noticable in her episode called Catwalk where she was being conned by Scarface and then manipulated Batman.

[trustyside-kick]

Never knew mad Hatter was a pedo

ROFLMAO!!!!

He isn't which is the point of my post above yours...he kidnapped the girls to make money by selling them to some asian dictator..I could not find any other info. talking about Mad Hatter doing anything with girls or being some pedophile.

[Mr. Socko]

i'd imagine writing him would be difficult. you've got to come up with riddles for his crimes that fit in with his personality and what-have-you. it seems like an easier gimmick than what it really is i bet.

Yeah, and the clues have to do with the story. It's real hard trying to write a Riddler story.

[Silver Sable]

Oh god.Clock King,Terrible Trio,and that Invisible guy were the worst villains of the show :o

[Two-Face]

Clock King was suppose to be look like "posh British" villain but as Brit I hated him I thought he was lame Character who was obsessed with time.

Oh god.Clock King,Terrible Trio,and that Invisible guy were the worst villains of the show :o
Yet they all gave Batman a hard time. Clock King nearly killed him, invisible guy knocked him out, Terrible Trio evaded him with some success. Human villains always interested me, as opposed to the not so human (Joker, Penquin, Poison Ivy, Killer Croc, Two-Face, Riddler, and the rest). See, they all stick around to fight Batman continuously with their outrageous personas while the normal criminals are just there for background. Sure I wouldn't call Clock King, Terrible Trio, invisible guy, and Mad Hatter normal criminals (and definetly not Clayface) but they are a step lower in concern with rogues gallery rank which makes them more obscure, and they fall prey to unjust negative criticism from fans. Just because they aren't heavy hitters, doesn't make them any less dangerous than Batman's regular rogues. I think Batman would even tell you that, if he were real. He'd probably say: "Never take any of them lightly, it could turn ugly real fast if your not respecting the situation." Another case in point, The Pack Rat
http://img50.imageshack.us/img50/3127/mel112ua.jpg
was one of Batman's most ridiculous short-lived, Joker induced, enemies but, it didn't make him any less dangerous than say Two-Face. Since this character was carrying a machine gun, when Batman and Robin found him, they both had to take things seriously;otherwise, someone, or one/both of them, could die/take injury.

[newwaveboy87]

i too like human villians - Thorne, Dagget, Stromwell, Falcone, Maroni - but The Terrible Trio were just inherently lame. three bored rich boys decide to go on a crime spree? what?

Clock King was ok. he's no more gimmicky than say Riddler, Mad Hatter, Two-Face, Ventrilloquist, et al. he did give Batman a pretty good fight in Time Out of Joint.

Mad Hatter - i like him. Perchance to Dream is a great episode. :):up:

Clayface they never really made a bad Clayface episode in my opinion. Growing Pains is pretty high up there on my favorite episodes list.

[Abaddon]

Perchance to Dream bothered me a bit,because I've read in my dreams.

[newwaveboy87]

you only think you read in your dreams. much like you only think you can fly, or that you are falling in dreams.

[Abaddon]

But I understand the words.I dont get it.:confused:

[newwaveboy87]

in your dreams you create your own reality, and by doing so, construct your own basic knowledge of language. you only think you read, and your memory of the dream pieced to words together. subcious working overtime.

[Abaddon]

So why was Bruce's mind unable to read?

[newwaveboy87]

he wasn't dreaming. he was in a chemically enduced coma.
the Mad Hatter even explained that, stating how he created the perfect world for him to occupy and live a happy life with his chemicals. then Batman said it wasn't real, tried to kill himself, and snapped himself out of the coma.

[Abaddon]

Ah,it was something along the lines of what Scarecrow did in "Over the Edge".Its been a while since I watched an ep. of the old series.I remembered though that he said he knew it couldn't be real because he couldn't read.

[newwaveboy87]

yep. Batman was knocked unconcious first, then drugged into a comatose state. it's very similar to what Scarecrow did in Over the Edge to Batgirl.

both episodes are great stuff.

[Abaddon]

Its the best comic-based animated series.And I say having not watched JL/JLU on a regular basis.

[newwaveboy87]

no, it is. JL/JLU was ok, but some of the minor characters that came in during the JLU run were rather ....well....some of the lamer characters DC had to offer.

[Mr. Socko]

I've never been an avid watcher of JL

but does Batman TAS still come on TV? I remember about a year ago it started coming on at 12pm on Cartoon Network.

[newwaveboy87]

i havent seen it on TV

[Mr. Socko]

I need to get Season 4 on DVD. But I heard it was the worst of the 4.

[newwaveboy87]

i like Volume 4!
there are bad episodes in all of the Volumes.

[Mr. Socko]

lol which Vol is the best?

I only have 2 & 3

[newwaveboy87]

personally...i think Volume 2 is the best. it has most of my favorite episodes on it. Volume 3 might be my least favorite.

[deathshead2]

I still think vol 1-3 are great I can't find an episode I hate on them but vol 4 is filled with bad ones.

[Silver Sable]

but does Batman TAS still come on TV? I remember about a year ago it started coming on at 12pm on Cartoon Network.

It's on Boomerang now on weeknights at 12am

[newwaveboy87]

I still think vol 1-3 are great I can't find an episode I hate on them but vol 4 is filled with bad ones.
really? The Forgotten, Underdwellers, Tyger Tyger, Terrible Trio, Moon of the Wolf, and a few others aren't subpar in your opinion?

[Two-Face]

I watched "Christmas with the Joker" I still love the show so much that I thought of my childhood.

[trustyside-kick]

I still think vol 1-3 are great I can't find an episode I hate on them but vol 4 is filled with bad ones.

I agree Volume 4 has some bad ones but not filled with bad ones. :mad:

[newwaveboy87]

EVERY volume has bad episodes in them!

[trustyside-kick]

Yea I know each one does..but that guy was making it sound like Volume 4 was so bad when it wasn't.

[gregtestagent]

The only eps. I like from TNA is Mad Love, Over The Edge, and Beware The Creeper.

[Abaddon]

I kinda liked the filler ep. with Calendar Girl.:O

[newwaveboy87]

i like Mean Seasons! Growing Pains, Sins of the Father, Double Talk, Cold Comfort, Legends of the Dark Knight...i could go on with the episodes i like.

[trustyside-kick]

I liked em all just about...there is definetly like 2 others but the only one I can think of that I did not like was Critters...that was a stupid one.

[newwaveboy87]

ssssh! let us never speak of Critters. EVER!

[trustyside-kick]

Haha.

[gregtestagent]

The only thing I like about Critters was that farmer john's daughter. Now that's a healthy gal :o :D ;) :up:

[newwaveboy87]

HAHAHA! nice.

[Silver Sable]

Who here liked the episode Girl's Night Out?

[newwaveboy87]

I Did!!

[trustyside-kick]

Who here liked the episode Girl's Night Out?

That one was okay. The fact that Live-Wire was like the main villain did not really appeal to me too much. But I guess was interesting having Batgirl have to put up with her since Ivy was battling Supergirl during most of the fights.

[newwaveboy87]

Livewire was always one of my favorites from the Superman cartoon

[trustyside-kick]

One of my favorite villains from Superman was Parasite. Since he was one of the few villains who can seriously hurt Supes.

[Mr. Socko]

Which season should I get next? 1 or 4?

[trustyside-kick]

Why not both? :up:

[newwaveboy87]

monetary limits.
get Volume 1 next that way you'll have all of BTAS and then go buy BTNA afterwards

[deathshead2]

Vol 1

[trustyside-kick]

Oh. If he already has Volumes 2 and 3 then yea, get Volume 1.

[Mr. Socko]

K, thanks.

Oh, I didn't know that Vol4 was BTNAS. I didn't like that as much as TAS.

[TheGrayGhost]

I just want to say,I hated the transition to Gotham Knights.Many of the villains were redesigned atrociously,and their behavior was radically different(i.e. Catwoman).

Not really. The only radical change that occured was in Two-Face, but I tend to view the third personality as an extension of Harvey Dent. As for Catwoman, the changes that did occur were minimal and for the best; in TNBAS she was much more of a sociopath. Which is definitely a good thing because Catwoman is the ultimate in sociopathic villains, especially in the Batman Rogues Gallery. As I understand, the changes were also thoroughly explored and explained in the line of comics that tracked BTAS.

Oh, and I thought I should mention that Bruce Timm has stated in the commentaries and in several Toonzone interviews that BTAS Volume 4 is his favorite season of the series; it's quite intriguing if you take into account that some of the fans hate the transition that occured. I loved it, and it is also my favorite of the four seasons.

[TheGrayGhost]

Oh god.Clock King,Terrible Trio,and that Invisible guy were the worst villains of the show :o

I'll never understand why some fans hated The Terribly Trio. I mean, there are many, many other episodes in BTAS which are infinitely worse.

[newwaveboy87]

we're not saying it's the worst...but it's up there. for me anyway.

[Mr. Socko]

If Harvey had a third personality then he should be called Three Face.

[newwaveboy87]

ba dun dun

[TheGrayGhost]

we're not saying it's the worst...but it's up there. for me anyway.

Be that as it may, there at least 18-25 really bad episodes within the first three volumes that rank ahead of The Terrible Trio. Christmas With The Joker is my pick for the worst. But I guess things like that are subjective.

[TheGrayGhost]

If Harvey had a third personality then he should be called Three Face.

Yep. However, I'm still under the belief the Harvery Dent personality "became" The Judge. It makes perfect sense for a district attorney to re-incarnate himself as a vigilante bent on reinforcing actual law. Hence, I still call him Two-Face.

[newwaveboy87]

Be that as it may, there at least 18-25 really bad episodes within the first three volumes that rank ahead of The Terrible Trio. Christmas With The Joker is my pick for the worst. But I guess things like that are subjective.
Critters is the worst. Christmas With the Joker has a kitsch value to it, and done correctly.

[Mr. Socko]

I liked Christmas With The Joker.

[TheGrayGhost]

Critters is the worst. Christmas With the Joker has a kitsch value to it, and done correctly.

That's the general opinion of most people I've come across. While the premise is very outlandish, the animation and direction are of particularly high quality. The score is also very well done and the writing, save for a few badly executed puns, was solid. The voice-acting is also good as most of the episodes. It's just not something that Batman fans aren't ready to swallow.

By contrast, I cannot fully express my raw hatred for Christmas With The Joker. Just about everything in it is of extremely low quality. The episode itself is hard to look at as the animation is very, very poor. The same thing can be said about a lot of the BTAS episodes, but the animation in this episode is just plain horrible. And everything in it is an insult to sebsibilites of the fans and of really the characters themselves. I mean, the characterization is embarrassing! And I cannot ever forget that stupid, stupid line:

Robin! Execute maneuver "B!"

It will haunt my nightmares forever.

[newwaveboy87]

BTNA had solid animation across the board and both versions of the show always had an impressive cast. but Critters i will argue, did not have solid writing.

[trustyside-kick]

I recall a lot of people not liking the Over the Edge episode from Volume 4? I loved that episode and thought it was great. Guess some people just do not like dream sequences.

[Mr. Socko]

Can ya gimme a brief description of "Over the Edge" to refresh my memory, chap.

[newwaveboy87]

The Bat-Team goes up against the Scarecrow.Barbara is shoved off the roof and lands on Commishoner's car.He finds out who she is and looses it,then goes after Wayne and Co. out of vengeance,exposing them all in the process.

[TheGrayGhost]

I recall a lot of people not liking the Over the Edge episode from Volume 4? I loved that episode and thought it was great. Guess some people just do not like dream sequences.

Really? From whom? It is widely considered to be the single best episode in the entire DCAU. It's definitely my favortie episode of all time.

[newwaveboy87]

it's ranked highly up there with just about every DCAU fan.
Over the Edge, Almost Got 'Im, The Laughing Fish, Dreams in Darkness, Batgirl Returns, and Harlequinade are some of my personal favorites.

[Mr. Socko]

I hate that they made Joker beady eyed with no lips. Atleast Mark was still there to give his voice.

[newwaveboy87]

dont we all? at least the Joker didnt turn out looking like the Riddler. now that was a bad redesign.

[TheGrayGhost]

I hate that they made Joker beady eyed with no lips. Atleast Mark was still there to give his voice.

That's probably the only redesign I am on the fence about. If the ROTJ/JL/JLU hadn't been designed, I'd probably be more forgiving.

Oh, by the way, are you the one that said that doesn't watch JL/JLU often? I reccomend that you do.

[Mr. Socko]

OMG! He was scary in a disturbing way

http://www.batman-superman.com/batman/img/riddler1.gif

But hey, it was better then "The Batman"

I remember in 2004 when the news of a new Batman Animated Series came, I was so excited. And when I saw it, it was complete and total garbage. Why couldn't they use the cool drawings and get Mark back!!!

Edit: Yeah, I don't watch it much. It comes on toon channel right, what time?

[Mr. Socko]

Michael Jackson is scary without makeup...

Only thing I liked was their look for her as Selina Kyle. She looked more like she does in the comics. The only thing that bothered me when she was in the suit in Volume 4 was her white skin in the suit and the ears were a bit too pointy.

[Silver Sable]

Agreed

[TheDarkKnight_NL]

got the volume one set this morning very cool, need to get some more money so i can order volume 2, the other 2 aren't out here yet so might import those

[trustyside-kick]

I have Volume 4 at the moment. I plan on buying the rest of them but I bought 2 Graphic Novels this month and if I spend too much monthly my mom will freak and ask questions. :/

[Mr. Socko]

^Same here

Al Ghul was about the only one who didn't look like he changed from TAS to NBA

[newwaveboy87]

Al Ghul wasn't in TNA.
he showed up in the Superman cartoon, along with Batman in a supporting role, but he was never in any BTNA episodes.

[trustyside-kick]

Hmm...I have a very vague memory of that Superman episode...did it involve him trying to see if Superman was a worthy suitor for his daughter too or something? Other than that I do not recall seeing Ra's at all after Batman Volume 3.

[newwaveboy87]

something about the Lazarus Pit was running low....and they used Talia disguised as Lois Lane to capture Superman. Ra's wanted his power, and Talia had stolen some artifact from a museum exhibit in Metropolis to do it.

[Mr. Socko]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRrTPH1FCOk&search=the%20batman

Vol4, Judgement Day

btw, the Peguin was changed alot in Vol4, he looked more like the comic book and Adam West Penguin then the very fat Burton Penguin with 3 hands, even tho I liked him too

I loved how in the very end of that episode they had Two-Face in the room all strapped up and in his mind you hear:

The Judge: "How does the defendant plea?"
Harvey: "Guilty...guilty...guilty..."

That was really cool. The fact that he developed a 3rd personality that even he was not aware of was really cool. Makes sense too and oddly enough in One Year Later since Harvey is not Two-Face anymore it seems he is somewhat of a vigilante now (maybe they sort of looked at that episode for the idea?).

[newwaveboy87]

there was a Batman Beyond where it turned out that Talia's body had been taken over by Ra's

[trustyside-kick]

Gah, been so long since I have seen those episodes that I am mixing them up. :(

[Mr. Socko]

Lol, same here

Was The Judge a character made just for TAS or was he in the comics too?

When I saw Over the Edge, it fooled me. When they said on TV that Bruce was Batman I was like WTF, I can't believe they told everyone all this :eek:

[trustyside-kick]

Just in TAS. Although in One Year Later it seems with Harvery cured he is somewhat of a vigilante.

Catwalk - good Catwoman episode or slightly boring? thoughts.

[trustyside-kick]

Lets get back to it, this thread was going good at first.

Ya. The Mad Hatter episode in Volume 4 called Animal Act was okay but if they changed the story it could have been way better.

[SeriousDuke]

Batman: The Animated Series IS the best Television show EVER. STILL. It brought us the best depiction of Batman, looking at all incarnations, all of the movies, even Batman Begins. We got our definitive Batman out of BTAS... and, I just get chills when I watch the episodes again.

Very fond memories of coming home from elementary school... and watching the show of FOX-- the best time of my life-- when I was in Elementary school, watching BTAS and awaiting the Batman movies to come out, like Batman Forever, and Batman & Robin. I was young, and loved Batman and I still do.

When TNBA came on, I didn't watch ONE episode... probabally because I thought it would still be on FOX and not switched to WB, and I didn't know what time. No... I don't think I really know why I didn't watch that show... maybe Batman & Robin ruined Batman for me for a while... I don't know. I got the boxset on the day it was released(have all 4 plus beyond s. 1, not JLA tho...) I watched the episodes... and, they were just okay, no where near as good as BTAS or Beyond for that matter(I love Beyond now, didn't watch it when I was a kid tho:(...) I like Over the Edge and that was about it... all others were just subpar-- too much of the Bat family appeared.

MY FAVORITE BTAS EPISODES!:
Most of the shows are the ones that stood out when I watched as a kid, and loved, and still do for some reason, but are by no means the best episodes.

-On Leather Wings
-The Last Laugh- Loved as a kid:)
-Be A Clown- Loved as a kid:)
-Two-Face Pt. 1 and 2
-I've Got Batman in my Basement- loved as a kid:)
-See No Evil- AWESOME!
-Beware of the Gray Ghost
-Feat of Clay Pt. 1 and 2(MY FAVORIE EPS OF ALL TIME, "I'm not an actor anymore, I'm... I'm not even a man..." dun dun dun da dun dun dun GREAT!
-Perchance to Dream- LOVE IT!
-The Strange Secret of Bruce Wayne- So good, up there with my tops!
-Almost Got 'Im- When I was a kid, I never saw the ep... for the longest time.. I did have a book tho, and it came with a tape of the actors acting it out-- I LOVED IT!
-What is Reality- Loved as a kid, it was so cool then!
-Mudslide- FANTASTIC
-His Silicon Soul- Batman meets Terminator- MY FAVORITE EP AS A KID!
-Sideshow- I love the running in the wilderness, everything up until when he meets the circus people is awesome.
-Trial- the sequel to almost got 'im basically, very cool
-Time Out of Joint- VERY COOL!

I like all of the episodes a lot... but those are the ones that stick out to me. I never was a sucker for Heart Of Ice tho, lol... call me crazy.:)

~SeriousDuke

[newwaveboy87]

i call you crazy for liking The Last Laugh and I've Got Batman In My Basement

[trustyside-kick]

I think the episode Never Fear from the 4th Volume was awesome. Scarecrow making a new gas that instead of causing fear makes you fearless was great. It was really cool when Robin had to take down Batman because he was getting so careless and everything.

[SeriousDuke]

I still love the Last Laugh, but not I've got Batman in my Basement. I really liked it when I was a kid.

And, for TNBA, I enjoyed the following eps:
Holliday Knights: Fun ep with lots of little stories
Sins Of the Father: good origin for the new robin, fun seeing two-face
Double Talk: Cool ep with ventriloquist going WAY crazy
Never Fear: neato!
Over The Edge: great ep, best of the series
Animal Act: fun seeing the new look mad hatter
Legends of the Dark Knight: cool, showing a lot of Batmans
Mad Love: The birth of Harley

Let's face it, the last episode of the series, Judgement Day was not good at all... tis a shame. They should have did one last season, knowing it was their last, and wrapped it up.

Where do you think i got all the cards and music from? besides, whenever I do a search on any engine, typing the title of the episode or looking for the title cards in general, I find my YTMND sites in the search.

[trustyside-kick]

Curious cause I do not have all of the volumes yet and do not remember many of the episodes but...where there many Two-Face episodes? I forget the good ones he was in. I was thinking about it because in the previous Round 8 in the elminiation games we have going on he was runner-up for best TAS villain; lost to The Joker of course.

[newwaveboy87]

Two-Face was in a lot of episodes actually. the most appearances for villains falls somewhere like this: Joker, Penguin, Two-Face. in that order i believe.

Second Chance, Two-Face (both parts), Sins of the Father, and Judgement Day are all good.

[Jack Bauer]

Was there an episode where they did a Frank Miller type show. Because I remember there was one episode with Batman looking like Miller's version.

[DeGenerate10]

I think thats The Dark Knight Returns. I haven't seen that episode in a while so I dont remember the story.

[Silver Sable]

Actually, it was called Legends Of The DK and the Frank Miller story was based on the girl Robin

[Two-Face]

I watched "Heart of Ice" and which I thought was great episode of introducing Mr Freeze, I wonder why stupid Schumacher didn’t watch this episode of TAS.

well his defeat of Two-Face in BF happened directly in Two-Face pt. 2
and the origin of Freeze in B&R is exactly like his origin in Heart of Ice.

somewhere along the lines of adapting those though the emotional weight and meaning got lost.

Is this show on TV anymore in the form of reruns?

Only one word can describe what TAS was.
Perfection.

What time/channel is Boomerang on?

What time/channel is Boomerang on?

Wouldn't that depend where you live? Because don't different states have different channels? I know when I visit my family in NY or AZ Fox and WB and stuff like that are different.

But for me in TX I have digital cable and Boomerang is on Channel 343 at 10:00pm.

[newwaveboy87]

you live in TX trusty? :eek:

What time/channel is Boomerang on?

Not everyone has the same channels. You might not even have Boomerang I didn't until recently. But Batman comes on 12 am eastern time

[trustyside-kick]

you live in TX trusty? :eek:

Yea, and? :confused:

[Kraven]

Odds are I probably don't have it. I just have normal cable with around 70 channels, and none of them are called Boomerang. Looks like no BTAS for me.
