The Best of The Timm Universe

[Spider-Bat]

Which episodes from each animated series stand out for you?

For me...

Batman Vol.1: On leather Wings, Christmas with the Joker, The Last Laugh, ClayFace's and Two-Face's origin episodes, Nothing to Fear, and the ClockKing and the Freeze origin .
Vol.2: Robin's Reckoning, Vertigo.
Vol.3: Bane, the Ra's Al Ghul 2 parter, also the Lock-Up show was great too.
Vol.4: Legends of the DarkKnight, the Creeper, Holiday Knights, the dream episode with Batgirl's worst fear brought about by the Scarecrow's toxin.

Superman Vol.1: The origin 3 parter, A little piece of Home, The Brainiac show, The Toyman episode, and the Parasite episode.
Vol.2: World's Finest, Bizarro
Vol.3: In Darkest Night, the one when Supes filled in for Batman when Bruce was kidnapped by Brainiac, and the Ra's episode.

Justice League Vol.1 :The origin episodes, the first Aquaman show.
Vol.2 : The Justice Lords, and the episode when they thought Superman died but was sent to the future.



Unlimited Vol.1:The Doomsday episode.
Vol.2: The Flash show when he had a museum opening in his honor, and the last 2 episodes were great.

Just taking a cursory glance at my DVDs (I have not yet got them all)...

Batman Vol. 1: On Leather Wings, Heart of Ice, P.O.V., Feat of Clay, Dreams in Darkness.
Vol. 2: The Laughing Fish, Almost Got 'Im, I Am the Night, Harley and Ivy.
Vol. 3: Shadow of the Bat, Demon's Quest, A Bullet for Bullock.

Superman Vol. 1: Last Son of Krypton, The Main Man, Tools of the Trade.
Vol. 2: Identity Crisis, World's Finest, The Late Mr. Kent.

JL Vol. 1: The Enemy Below, The Savage Time.
Vol. 2: Maid of Honor, A Better World, The Terror Beyond, Secret Society, Wild Card.

Haven't even seen a lot of JLU. What's with Cartoon Network never airing reruns? Most of thost episodes probably aired, like, one time.

I forgot about the Grey Ghost episode that one was awesome too.

 

[Rorschach II]

Maybe if there was less anime bull**** on tv we could have more of these American animated series I grew up loving. Seriously, would the world be a darker place if one of those ****ty Japanese shows was replaced by Batman re-runs? I think not.

It would be a darker place, but that's okay, that's how Batman rolls.

 

[Rorschach II]

I meant in a bad way. But good one.

Love the avvy, Odiin. lol.

[Dr. Fate]

Having a hard time picking bests or even favorites. Well, "On Leather Wings" from Batman: TAS is definitely up there. I like "The Late Mr. Kent" from Superman: TAS and "Hereafter" is another definite standout from the Justice League era.

[The Kid]

Heart of Ice

timm and co really created the definitive mr. freeze with that episode.

 

[Speedball]

we need a Timm channel don't we?

How about a Superhero channel, with live-action and cartoon shows.
Reboot should be on there too, because it hasn't been shown America in years.

 

[Jordacar]

Feat of Clay
The scene where Clayface can't control his powers, even today there's nothing to compete with that.
"I can't control it! I can't be all of them! Not all at once! AAAAAAARGHHH!!!!"

 

[Bat Attack]

Every BTAS episode (original run 1992-1995).

 

[GL1]

Mask of the Phantasm does just about take the cake... but that was a movie, so it's got to be in another league anyway.

As a Robin fan, I thinkt he one with Sandy/Clayface was one of the best looks from the character's perspective ever put on film...

And the scene where a bunch of non-powered heroes take on General Eiling was pretty classic...

 

[November Rain]

Two eps from each series

Batman Tas: Perchance to Dream, Night of the Ninja

Batman Beyond: Disappearing Inque, Shriek

Superman: The main man, metallo double parter

Justice league: A better world, secret society

Justice league unlimited: divided we fall, grudge match/far from home.

overall favourite moments are bruce putting on his mask for the first time, clark taking captain marvel like he's supposed to, the kid saying 'get em' in secret society and TERRY taking on the joker in return of the joker and winning by going AGAINST BRUCE's advice.

also bruce's return to save terry in disappearing inque with the old shirley walker batman theme rocked up is ****ING a geekasm in the making.


I would also like to say this universe especially the last two seasons of jlu have made the female characters of dcau just as interesting as teh male ones...

the interaction between wonder woman, vixen, hawkgirl, black canary and the huntress was some of the best character development of the whole damn thing.

the only male character to rival that was perhaps the question.

 

[DawnWarrior]

Superman: The main man, metallo double parter

Wait, what Metallo double parter?

 

[November Rain]

sorry, it felt like a double bill but it ws actually the way of all flesh, single ep that i was referring to..

must have watched a cut up version of youtube that changed my mind.
