[The Caped Knight]

WB should’ve ****ed around and given us a live action episode with Conroy and Tim Daly playing Batman and Superman in the flesh.

I love this piece so much.

Is this Baby Doll’s first time in the main DC continuity? I feel like I’ve never seen her…

She was in Batman: The White Knight a little bit, I think.

This is the most I’ve ever wanted to make out with a piece of comic artwork.

I wonder if DC thinks there’s enough demand for the TNBA era to give the Gotham Adventures comics the omnibus treatment, or if they might just do compendiums like they are with Batman Beyond and Superman Adventures.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

I was shocked to discover that people didn't like the Scott Peterson/Tim Levins run of Batman: Gotham Adventures. I absolutely loved those issues as a kid. Simple, but dynamic storytelling, pitch perfect characterization and cinematic artwork.

I would definitely like to see two 30 issue compendiums.

I’m not in the business of buying figures for hundreds of dollars, but it does look damn good.

I've got (mostly) all the others but I can't do it this time.

Rewatched "I've Got Batman in My Basement," it went really kiddie/cartoony in a way the show usually didn't, really wouldn't want to have that for many episodes, for just one episode it still doesn't really work but also doesn't come off as too bad. Not good but at least kind of amiable/enjoyable, also not so bad it's good, more like so weird it's nice/OK.

I completely understand the criticism of this episode, but I also remember how I didn't mind it when I was a kid. I mean, it made it easy to imagine how a kid like you might “work” with Batman. And there was a bit of a “Home Alone” vibe about it. Felt very much in the Zeitgeist of the early 90s.

Now The Terrible Trio or The Mechanic... These I never warmed to!

It seems like Funko is the butt of the joke more than anything lately, but idgaf, I need that Riddler.

I love how the way Joker is holding that card, he is basically flipping you off.

Haven’t really been getting McFarlane’s BTAS figures because I’ve thought they looked a bit iffy in person, but I’m definitely going to check out that Batman, Ra’s and Gray Ghost.

Got my fingers crossed that Mattel takes a crack at the DCAU once the DC license is under their control. Based on their MOTU work, it seems like they’re a lot more invested in animation than either McFarlane or Spin Master have been.

Kenner absolutely nailed the B:TAS character designs in 1992... why on earth is McFarlane having so much trouble in 2025?

Rewatched "Deep Freeze", Freeze in it was really good but I didn't get why the writers went with such an evil, demonized take on Walt Disney, especially for them being/working with animators you would think they would have at most nuanced feelings about him, it probably would have been better if the mogul was more nuanced, less completely evil (directly against, wanting to ruin, destroy the outside world) and/or the parallels were a lot less directly obvious.

It's really cool that Roddy McDowall was in, and great in, both the '60s and '90s TV series.

 

[The Batman]

Considering what we know of rich dudes today, I'd say it likely wasn't demonized enough.

It was basically a 1970s James Bond movie plot.
