A few things people here don't seem to realize.

Now, I see peole here seem to believe The Batman is set in the same sort of universe as shows like Batman: The Animated Series, Superman: The Animated Series, Batman Beyond JL, and JLU etc. but that's wrong. The Batman seperates itself from those shows, obviously, by its radically different characters designs and voice cast. This sow isn't meant to be tied in anyway to the other shows. Kevin Conroy isn't this shows Batman and to be honest, I don't understand why Luthor and Superman are being voiced by Brown and Newbern respectively.

Spellcheck. Please.

Everyone knows this, they complain 'cause the show is a generic toy commercial that pales in comparison to the great Animated Series.

I have been watching more recent episodes, and even with Robin and the JLA, it still doesn't look right, or feel right, too cheap and anime looking, cheap anime.

Cartoons suck nowadays, anything like the crap they put on now back a few years ago would have been canceled right away.

It is a shame kids don't know real quality cartoons.

All they know is anime crap, like pokemorons and yugio ******.

They are the dumbest things I've ever seen, I made sure I showed mt nephews what real cartoons are like, they pretty much stayed away from the garbage that's out there now.

Batman needs a better series than this. But at least I still have TAS on dvd, and that is all I need they won't top that masterpiece.

God you're whiney, Aristotle.

And you're stupid. Are we done trading pointless insults now?

Why are you even here? Do you think the WB hangs out in this forum and is waiting on you to convince them?

No, but fans hang out here. And the fans are wrong. So I want to discuss with them. That's what people do on discussion boards. They discuss things.

LOLZ at people who don't get jokes....

I'm fairly sure that a loose, shared continuity is pretty firm between B:TAS, JLU, TT, and TB.
Since the Robin used in The Batman has the same design as the Robin used in Teen Titans. Also, Speedy from Teen Titans was shown in JLU. Then there was Rosembaum playing both Kid Flash and then an adult Wally West.
I don't see why people are so offended by this concept. Just because new stories arise that don't fit perfectly into continuity doesn't mean the whole thing is thrown out the window. Haven't any of you read the conflicting resurrection stories in the Gospels? Same kinda deal.

It's all right.

I've been around long enough to know a spade when I see one.

Oh really? Am I also a big meanie? Shut up, kid.

Doesn't sit any righter with me. Now, conflicting OT stories, that's different, because Judaism is based and founded upon debate and discussion, but Christianity claims a tight dogma--as does superhero fiction.

[WompuM]

Superhero fiction has some of the losest dogmatic continuity there is.
Look at superman's origin, or the joker's origin. or countdown for christ's sake. I do not see why you are opposed to these two shows sharing a universe.
young batman/ experienced batman
young robin/ nightwing w/ new robin

Doesn't sit any righter with me. Now, conflicting OT stories, that's different, because Judaism is based and founded upon debate and discussion, but Christianity claims a tight dogma--as does superhero fiction.

Hebrew scriptures were mainly oral for the longest time, then written down, then translated to Greek for Ptolemy's library (the Septuagint), then filtered down after the 2nd destruction of the Temple to include only the books they could originally find in Hebrew, throwing out all the ones they could only find in Greek. They'd be insane if they held onto any tighter, scriptural dogma than they already had because they know the above stated has had an impact.

Christian scriptures are a hard case because this all happened during a very tumultuous time. At the earliest, the Gospel of St. Mark may have been written slightly before the fall of the 2nd Temple, but all the rest were afterwards, with St. John written perhaps around 100AD, nearly 70 years after Yeshua's death. The Synoptics (Mark, Matthew, Luke) are fairly in-sync, hinting that they are pulling from maybe a source document, with St. John an outsider and giving off slightly more of a theological attack against the Gospel of Thomas and Gnosticism in general.

There's not too much disparity given that the times were pretty crazy and St. John tends to be more of a metaphorical book. Granted, the ending of St. Mark's didn't even hardly include a resurrection story originally, but it was amended later and St. Matthew and St. Luke's did.

All in all, there's not too much conflict between the Synoptics, and those are probably the ones that should be analysed for disparities both in known historical scholarship and in the books themselves.

This took me about 4 minutes to type and is seemingly one of the longest posts I've made since...jeeze, since before most of you guys knew about this website. :P

Not me buddy. I out-date you by 4 whole months.

You must've missed the "most of" part.
