Well yeah, but it gets a pass because it's animation. Animation from the 90s.
People can like BTAS all they want. I do too. But to say it is better written than Nolan´s stuff? C´mon, give me a break. It´s not even close.

Chances are almost every single person who is an adult today and is a fan of BTAS, is because they were little kids when they first saw the show. So nostalgia plays a huge part.
Yet, the show has stuff that is 10 times more ridiculous than ANYTHING we saw in Batman & Robin. If any Batman movie had some of the scenes this show has, it would instatly be considered the worst movie ever.
At least they weren't ashamed of the source material.
Like what?
If you can´t think of anything, maybe you should rewatch the show.
How about hummm....how about Joker escaping from AA on a flying christmas tree? Is that good writing? Is that cool?
Id have to agree.People can like BTAS all they want. I do too. But to say it is better written than Nolan´s stuff? C´mon, give me a break. It´s not even close.
Im not sure if anybody was "ashamed" of the source material. And even if so, just because they embrace the source material, doesnt mean it's a guarantee of quality. That's not why i enjoy BTAS. I enjoy it because of the voice acting, the animation, and some of the stories.In some cases, yes. But most of the people I know who like BTAS saw it when they were adults or teens.
Batman (1989) is my favorite live action movie, but BTAS' Batman is the definitive Batman in my eyes. At least they weren't ashamed of the source material.
The Joker has always been silly and over-the-top. You would expect him to do something crazy like that.
Dude, if ANY CHARACTER in ANY Batman movie escaped from AA on a flying christmas tree, the movie would be hated to death. If you can´t see what´s ridiculous about it, then there is not much i can tell you.
And if that´s good writing, then i see no reason to consider Batman & Robin a bad movie.
Batman and Robin is entertaining enough
I don't think so, not if they made a movie that was more like the comic books

Are you suggesting that, if something is surreal, it cannot be well written?
Would The Joker not escape from Arkham on a rocket-powered Christmas tree, if he could? Isn't that the kind of thing he probably would do, if he could?
Far from it, but you have to understand that different narratives can exude different tones, but still be "good" on their own terms. The Godfather and Toy Story are both good films, but have a very different tone. Comparing their quality by their content would be silly, because while it would rightly be said that a talking action figure would have no place in The Godfather, it is entirely fitting for the premise and narrative tone of Toy Story.
BTAS tried to embrace almost the whole spectrum of Batman comics, from the rather bleak stuff like Two Face's origin, to the more goofy elements like the Arkham break-out you describe. It isn't invalid for that reason.

Would it? Is it a lesser work of imagination to devise an insane, Christmas themed escape sequence than it is to simply have The Joker climb out of the toilet window?
Why do you equate anything that is not "realistic" with "stupidity"?
It´s more difficult to come up with a rational solution to a complicated problem. That´s why a flying christmas tree is an easy way out.
He could just stab all of the guards (and inmates) to death.
It would also be stupid given the fact that he is outnumbered. But it would still be better than a flying christmas tree.

I don´t. I equate being stupid and goofy with stupidity TDK is not realistic but manages not to be as silly as BTAS.
