He is vengeance... He is the night... He... Is... BATMAN!![YT]EJHIAe-B5cg[/YT]

The first. The best. The World's Greatest Super Hero. SUPERMAN![YT]dlRUGDF10gY[/YT]

Two great legends.

 

[Mrs. Wayne]

I knew, deep down, that you were ok.

Whoop, I'm safe.

Elfman theme works perfectly fine on some of the Adam West series.
Who woulda thought.

When I think of both those characters it's the Williams and Elfman themes that come to mind.

 

[LEVITIKUZ]

Batfleck?

 

[WoodyROM]

It's a manip, but a very well done one

 

[LEVITIKUZ]

GODDAMN IT!!!!!

Thought I found a photo before anyone else.

Goddamn manips.

 

[Charlatan]

I never said I didn't like him. I like West. The 60's show, from the few episodes I've seen, are really fun to watch. But nothing beats BTAS for me. But I respect the West.

yeah BTAS is as close to perfect as it has ever gotten.

I love TAS. But I also think it lacks ambition. There are some truly amazing episodes, and most others are really great. But the lack of serialization make it less powerful than it could have been imo.

Same
Best themes for each character.

This video made me cheer
That bit at 2:25, is that from the extended cut of the first Superman movie?

You do realize serial media was almost unknown at the time, right?

 

[Naked Shia]

Serialization has been existing since the dawn of fiction. There are several cartoons from that period that used serialisation, such as gargoyles for instance. Not to mention I'm merely stating that while it is a great show, it could have been even better imo, regardless of how well known serialization was at the time.

Comics don't count? They were serialized decades before that show.

Pretty sure Serialized Fiction has been around since the Victorian Era.

 

[Mrs. Wayne]

I wish there were more crossovers with BTAS and STAS.

 

[Mrs. Wayne]

So it just dawned on me that Gotham will be premiering tonight and I'll miss it because of my night class...

 

[Spider-Aziz]

^That gif is perfect

 

[Mrs. Wayne]

Superman as Batman is perfect.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Very much

Haha I like the Gif. Or are you also missing Gotham because of a night class...? I'm also stealing that gif.

Was able to watch the first episode of Gotham earlier at a special screening. Its a good start to the series, not perfect, and a little crowded character-wise but the visuals are good.

Judge Dredd is a good example. He has aged since the first comic (in real time sort of). Even living with cancer.

Yes. The extended addition from 2000 I think. The four biggest differences are an expansion on some of the scenes on Krypton, with more of Jor-el interacting with the council, the council deciding to investigate what Jor-el is doing in his lab and sending a sentry, and some more of the Kryptonians dying during the early phase of Krypton's destruction. Then there is the inclusion of Lois as a little girl seeing young Clark race the train in Smallville while traveling with her parents. The Lanes are played by Kirk Alyn the original Superman from the first live action serial and Noel Neil the Lois from both the serial and most of the run of THE ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN. Then there is a short sequence after Superman has his big night on the town after saving Lois and you see him back at the Fortress talking with Jor-el, then it cuts back to people crowded around the outside of an electronic store and Clark is there looking at the news reports of Superman saving Lois. A guy turns to Clark and says unbelieving "That'll be the day... When a guy can fly, huh?" and Clark replies "Oh, you never know..." That actor that does that line? That's SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE director Richard Donner. Finally there is the gauntlet of death traps Luthor puts Superman through before he reaches Lex's lair, which includes machine guns, flame throwers and some kind of instant freeze chamber. In the commentary Donner and the film's "creative consultant" talk about why the lair stuff was cut for both time and because they felt that the audience had already seen Superman's powers established. Those scenes and a couple of others that were cut(like Superman rescuing Miss Tessmacher from Lex throwing her to hungry Lions/tigers before bringing Otis and Lex to prison) were added into old network TV broadcasts back in the pre cable days to expand the run times as was done for some films back then.
