Batman:The Animated Series Tribute Thread

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

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.
 
Livewire was always one of my favorites from the Superman cartoon
 
One of my favorite villains from Superman was Parasite. Since he was one of the few villains who can seriously hurt Supes.
 
monetary limits.
get Volume 1 next that way you'll have all of BTAS and then go buy BTNA afterwards
 
K, thanks.

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

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.

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.
 
we're not saying it's the worst...but it's up there. for me anyway.
 
If Harvey had a third personality then he should be called Three Face.

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.

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.

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.
 
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.
