The Official Batman (1989) Thread - Part 4

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Bruce Timm loves his Batman icy and detached and has said on many occasions that Batman: The Animated Series isn't exactly his pure, undiluted version of Batman.

He had to play ball with many other (sometimes narrow-minded) producers and studio executives. While they wanted B:TAS to retain some of the dark flavour of Burton's Batman, it was still a kids show and had to adhere to the rules for the most part.

Given more freedom, Timm would definitely have inserted more of Keaton's aloofness into his Batman.

I get what Timm meant. Much like Keaton, Conroy Batman isn't a guy who's gonna have lunch with you or make social visits. Even before the TNBA era, Robin was commenting on how distant Conroy Bats could be.
