The Official Batman TAS Thread - Part 3

[Sawyer]

Sheesh. Another one.

 

[The Joker]

RIP Richard. He was so good on BTAS.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Losing another one so soon is just awful. What a tremendous actor and the best Two-Face ever.

R.I.P Richard Moll.

 

[Captain Tired]

R.I.P. to Big Bad Harv.

"There's one problem. You're talking to the wrong Harvey"

Loved his Two Face. Loved it.

Adrienne Barbeau acknowledges (@20:10) the potential B:TAS audio drama announced by Kevin Conroy back in December of 2021. At least I assume this is what she is talking about:

In fact, I think there was some discussion before Kevin died of doing something.

This whole thing was very strange to me. Weird that Kevin would be the one to announce it at a random comic con panel (in LA) despite always being under heavy NDA's. Weird that the moderator seemed to know so much about it. And weird that not a soul ever mentioned it after the ''announcement'' ever again.

Maybe Burnett drafted a script, struggled to sell it and prompted Conroy to reveal it in the hope that Max/Spotify would greenlight it for the 30th anniversary.

I'm surprised no one has asked Burnett on his many interviews for B:TAC this year.

 

[Sawyer]

Not crazy about the need to articulate all the teeth in Joker’s mouth, but I do like that hat look.

Definitely getting that Riddler. Shoot, maybe that Gordon too (finally getting a figure of his own after Oldman and Jeffrey Wright have gotten the shaft in that department).

 

[The Caped Knight]

Cool figures

 

[J.Drangal]

If you're like me and have missed out on DC Collectibles action figures, here's your chance to catch up!
Mezco is releasing 4 figures including Batman, Robin, Joker and Catwoman. But here's where it gets really cool: for $125, you get these figures AND the Batmobile.

I think that's a reasonable price. Sure, the figures don't have much articulation, but I don't really care.
On other modern lines, the joints are sometimes very visible and, for some, can detract from the overall look.

I just love how these figurines are reminiscent of the good old Kenner action figures of the time: Mezco even goes so far as to emulate the iconic blister packs!

I'm not an expert on all these toy manufacturers so I'd like to ask those of you who know more about the subject: do you think Mezco is likely to extend the range to other characters in the future?
Is this something they're used to doing, or are they more into one-shot projects?

New Bruce Timm piece:

 

[Herofan]

Have there been times when a more intense kind of vigilante like Lock-Up is portrayed not as villainous, as also valid?

 

[Sawyer]

I’m still keeping an eye out on the Batman Adventures Omnibus to see how low it’ll drop in price. Amazon has it at $94 right now. Still just a bit pricey for me.

 

[Sawyer]

Oof that price. Also, I’m just not a LEGO guy, so this is an easy pass for me, but it’s nice to see.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

It looks stunning, but just like Sawyer... I've never been a LEGO person, even as a kid.

This part in particular in the Nothing to Fear episode is probably the most underrated Batman theme song. Gotta love Shirley Walker.

YES. I kinda got chills just listening to this again.

More Lego Btas set’s coming starting of with the iconic Batmobile

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Kevin Conroy almost played Batman/Bruce Wayne in live action again on The CW:



The show wasn't great, but it's a shame we missed out on both this and his planned role (character unknown) in Batman: Caped Crusader.

I wanted to get back to something I had been doing before the passing of the esteemed Mr. Conroy, to celebrate the series. Wish I'd got back to it a year ago so it was still the 30th, but age is but a number, right?

(Also I don't have Twitter/X anymore, so doing this manually):

Kevin's singing voice is giving Hugh Jackman vibes.
