Is it Good?

[weezerspider]

I've yet to watch the show, is it any good? It looks terribly childish. Is it worth watching? Campy? Anything.

Just read the exisiting threads in this forum. We're pretty much covering everything episode to epsiode. All your questions will be answered.

It's horrible. This crap, after The Dark Knight movie. Yeesh, it's as if Warner Bros. said to themselves, "you know what, let's release something of Batman that's truly horrid, we can't have fans loving everything about Batman in 2008". ...

I wouldn't say it's horrible...watch season one of "The Batman" for that. Aside from a couple episodes from "The Batman" season 1 you'll be screming and begging for this show. Anyway, truth be told, it's different. I think it does better than "The Batman" did with me BECAUSE it is so different from BTAS. Batman is still serious, it's just the secondary characters that can be more carefree. Even in the Adam West series Batman was serious about his job...it was just the situations he was put in that was VERY rediculous. This show seems to be more about the other heros than Batman (despite him having his name in the title), which is good because it introduces more characters in the DC universe.

You know what, let me expand my original post. If all you like is the dark, brooding, violent, anti social, ******* Batman, then dont watch this. If you are a fan of the Batman character in all his representations, then give it a watch. They are going to show reruns for the next couple weeks, so you can catch up and then form your own opinion.

I want to know what truly makes this so horrible and crap.

Anyhow this is my opinion of Batman:
- its for children, yet it did have some balls and showed Bruce behaving like a brat and then they show his parents die. The Batman tried to hide Bruce's parent's death all the time if you ask me, just look at the "the end of the batman" episode with Wrath and Scourge.
- What sucks is the lack of Batman villains, but this is what you except from a justice league show. :\
- Its not campy by its term, camp is knowing the source material and making fun of it, while this show's source material is the Silver Age and the Batman: Brave and the Bold comics.
- Batman is badass and pretty much a god in this show, he has awesome gadgets, a very good voice actor (But he only has Batman voice, since we never see him as Bruce Wayne) and so on.
- Its funny even for a children show, sure B:TAS had some adult jokes that you didn't get when you were a child but now you laugh at jokes like The Flash saying hes the fastest man alive and Green Lantern replies with a "so this is why you never get a date" >:3

I honestly recommend watching 2,3 and 4 atleast. I didn't like the 1st episode that much but the first minutes were awesome with Green Arrow, i just don't like Blue Beetle. :/

It's definitely an acquired taste, to be sure. But I'm having a blast with this series. It's extremely entertaining. It's big time old school Bats, and you just have to watch it and have fun, not hope for the dark and brooding character. Think 60's fun and wam bam action and you'll fall in love quickly.

It's crap and horrible because it's goofy, humorous, campy and reminds people of the Adam West days of whimsy. It's Batman, not Plastic-Man. I realize it's for kids, but damn, how stupid do they think children are? It was children and families that helped TDK bring in a billion bucks. This cartoon is a waste of animation.

 

[DOG LIPS]

Anyone know what kind of ratings this thing is getting?

LOL That doesnt make it crap. Maybe to you, but thats your problem. Its a shame you cant accept the entire history of Batman. Maybe you should get your username changed.

this has got to be one of the most IGNORANT posts ive read here on the hype. because its made in the retro style and may be remniscient of the 60's show its horrible and crap. wow. go back to your dark nolan world.

 

[Captain Planet!]

Just give it a chance and watch a few episodes.

 

[The_Riddler?]

Hmm. How about you judge for yourself. One mans trash is anothers treasure.

Judging from what I've been reading on this forum, there is more love for this show than not. Those who seem disappointed in it seem only to accept the more recent version of our masked avenger. It is a shame there are such closed minded individuals in this Batman fanbase of ours.

 

[cerealkiller182]

Its fun, but its not too interesting. Whether I watch an episode or not is based almost exclusively on who batman is teamed up with.

 

[SmileOnMyFACE]

I felt really iffy about the show until I actually sat down and watched it.
It's really not bad. Definitely something different, but it's good. It is a kids show so you should keep that in mind while watching, but it is entertaining and not just nonsensical crap. The animation and art are really snazzy and well done too, much better than the kind of stuff you see on other kids shows these days. The show has a really fun atmosphere to it, as compared to the darker and more serious atmosphere of BTAS (which I love, by the way).

So yes. It's good. It just depends on personal preferences.

 

[JAK®]

The show is great. A lot of people don't like it because they're afraid that if a show has any humour in it, it might appeal to children. And we can't have that, can we?

 

[Grommers]

I've watched the first three episodes, and to be honest, I dont know if I could stand a season of this, its just too....repetitive. Like I said it'd be a cool idea as a DTV or something completely different but to expect season after season of the same stuff...is just lol.

 

[The_Riddler?]

I dont really see anything that is repetitive. At least nothing that cannot be found in any other show on television. Season after season of the same stuff is precisely what television shows are Im afraid.

 

[DJ Kornphlake]

If anything is repetitive, it's Grommer's complaining.

 

[ross2287]

The only episode I watched was with Plastic Man and I didn't like it too much.
Any suggestions on good episodes?

Well, there have only been 5 episodes so far. The Aquaman episode was pretty good, as was the last weeks. Day of the Dark Knight.

 

[weezerspider]

I perfer the Dark Hero, but I like the '60s Batman too if done right. I'll have to give it a try. The main thing that turned me kinda off was that it wasn't really a BATMAN show. Its not in Gotham, it does not have Bat villains. I'll give it a try and hope its atleast worthy of watching weekly.

See... this is the problem with Bat-fans!

You can't have an argument concerning light and dark batman without resorting to mocking the opposing version. If it wasn't for Adam West, Batman may not even have been around today. In comparison, Chris Nolan has been able to salvage the character for modern popularity.

Batman suits his times... they are just trying to let a bit of variety exist today, which can only be a healthy thing.

 

[weezerspider]

I've seen a few episodes and I can't understand the "dark" fans complaints about the show. Batman himself seems to be very similair to BTAS batman. The show itself is lighter and somewhat childish, but the character Batman is Batman. He's not Frank Miller dark, but he's not Adam West either.

Oh, and I like the show. Its not great, but its pretty entertaining.

 

[Spider-Bat]

The show is horribel garbage. There's a reason they have been cleaning Batman up since the 60's bringin him back to his roots. It is no longer the forties and he doesn't need to be censored.

He's not a campy goofball, they have been trying to erase the stygma from the Adam West show for a reason, don't go back to it.

I try to watch it for fun but just can't.

The design and look of the Bat gadgets and vehicles especially the BatMobile look cool but, that is it.

Show sucks. They need to do another Timm animated series.

No more camp.

I have to admit though, I like the fun look but that is all.

It is a one star show, , with nothing to it at all but bad puns and an insult to all the good work they put into fixing and revamping sicne the late 60's thanks to the greats such as, Julius Schwarts Neal Adams, Dennis O'neal, and Jim Aparo.
