The Official Batman TAS Thread - Part 3



Goddammit I still want that book.
 


Goddammit I still want that book.


This book was probably my best catch on eBay.
It's the French edition, which is exactly the same as the original, including the terrible market price...
And I picked it up for $20, including shipping. :woo:

Anyway, I'm very surprised it was never reissued. After the Mondo book on the series and the Batman Adventures Omnibus, this would make sense...
Also, scrutinizing internet on everything about that series, I discovered a lot of stuff that could be incorporated in a killer new "augmented edition"... :hmr:
 


Looks like Amazon currently has it for $60. Not bad, but I might wait a bit just to see if it might drop some more.

Got the first omnibus though and it’s great.
 
I didn't even know 'Play Shaving Kits' were a thing. I certainly never had one. Boy, they really did slap B:TAS on everything and anything in the 90's:

 
Got the two Omnibus.

Least to say the fomo and making sure these don't go out of print hit me pretty hard, so I had to get both. :o

I got them both too. Managed to wait Amazon out long enough for the first to drop down to 50% off, then used a birthday gift card on the Batman & Robin omni.

Barely have room to put them anywhere, but well worth it.
 


That’s a gorgeous cover, it’s almost too bad I really have no need for this.

What's the deal with these Target exclusives?

It's the same with the McFarlane Toys line for BTAS. Impossible to get them outside the USA, except through the resale market or things like Ali Express (with a gamble on how things are packed, sometimes just in a bag...) and usually at higher prices...

Depressing for a whiny fan like me! :whoops:
 
It just occurred to me how crazy it was that Bane popped up on this show only like a year after he was introduced in the comics.
 
Since BTAS premiered 32 years ago, I made my tier ranking list of all episodes of BTAS/TNBA

I definitely would not put Bane in the A-Tier. That episode created the stereotype of the character being a glorified luchador hitman whose motivation for fighting Batman is a paycheck.
 
Yeah, while I appreciate the producers adding him to the mix, Bane can't truly fulfill his potential as a rogue if he can't go thru with the one thing he was created to do.
 
For no particular reason, I've decided to list my favorite episodes of the original run of BTAS and I'm going with a top 30.
