Yes his abilities rock but I just hate what they did to his origin. It just ain't Freeze like that. And i hate that they cut The Edge'd theme out . . . for that, and what they did to Freeze, I can't watch it anymore. But I love how The Batman moves in that show.Fred_Fury said:

So Freeze should look like a ****ing crystallized action figure? Good call, Fred.Fred_Fury said:
If you really want to hurt yourself, just cut your wrists open. It's faster, and more final. Remember, Rippy the Razor says go across the street, not down the block.The Knight said:
Do you remember a quickly-scrapped action figure line featuring the Bat-people and villains in a future age with all kinds of futuristic wackjob technology? I think it was called Cyber Revolution or something, and it was billed as much the same kind of "X-TREME" bull****.batknight27 said:
Oh, would that this were the case. Would that Adam West's brilliant absurdist talents were in any way involved with The Batman, so that I could at least know that if they're going to bastardize my favorite character in all of fiction, they're going to do it with a talented actor.batknight27 said:
If that turns out to be true I will personally throttle you for having said it aloud...or atype, I guess. I don't care if he doesn't like JL/JLU, that's his opinion. But if he even comes close to the Justice League...oh God, what is happening to superhero animation, when a man who makes kiddie-toons to sell toys can claim to make the Justice League "harder"?IzzyJG99 said:
Differently used. TB's Freeze uses puns to be funny, or something like that. BTAS's Freeze used metaphors, introspectively comparing his physical condition to his emotional state. Not really the same.MaskedManJRK said:One thing that's never made sense to me:
People b***h about Freeze using puns in TB, and yet watching Heart of Ice, I notice just as much cold puns, and no one says s**t.
Could someone explain this to me?
You LIKED The Voyage Home? You can't even play the drinking game with that one! They don't say Sir enough!MaskedManJRK said:
Nope. Pretty much just that it blows ass. That's really where I'm coming from. Major ass-blowing going on. I remember when I first heard about the show, I was super-pumped and excited for a new Batman show. Then I ****in' watched it.Bathead said:
Anyone who wants their superhero fiction to retain an ounce of respectability. Let Marvel bastardize their characters in every media. DC has more of a responsibility to the characters than Marvel does, because DC has a richer history and a longer history. If all it takes for you to lake a show is that has somebody who claims to be Batman, if you don't hold fiction to a certain standard of proving that its characters are who they say they are, if all you need are names and not accurate characterizations, then go home, watch Super Friends, and have an ice evening.0neDisturbedSOB said:
Of course it is. Matsuda's version would have a guy who looks like a popsicle, and X-TREME DESIGNS DOOD, and lots of pointless gadgets, and a pointless DTV featuring a fantasy villain who has no place interacting with superheroes. Justice League vs. Frankenstein's Monster: coming to DVD this fall! If that ain't hardcore, I don't know what is!jaydawg said:
It was your side that posted the comment about selling toys. And maybe Timm and Matsuda wouldn't be percieved as rivals if Matsuda wasn't talking **** on Timm's obviously superior work. And they're not TOTALLY different shows--they're actually sort of the same, in that they're both about the same characters involved in the same general activities: crimefighter vs. criminal. And then they're also admittedly different, in that The Batman sucks total balls.0neDisturbedSOB said:
Because some true fans of the original Dark Knight put years of hard work into bringing Batman from the grave of that silly 60's show. Neal Adams, Frank Miller, Bruce Timm . . etc. These people got sick of seeing their favorite fictional character be on the recieving end of the worst sort of gay jokes and spent years of their lives creating master pieces that SET STANDARDS! They made the character what he was meant to be. A dark guardian angel who was a character to be taken seriously. "The Batman" took all of that art and soul and put it right back where it came from. When they had The Edge's theme it started out rather good. Then they mucked up Freeze'z origin . . . they Darwined the Joker and then they canned The Edge's theme for something that reminds me so much of the 60's show that I just can't watch a series that trashes all the wonderful work that people who have so much love for this character spent all these years producing. And now the creator of the show is hacking on "Justice League"?! This show deserves all the crap that's beeing talked about it.Fred_Fury said:

If I refuse to watch it, they say I can't bash it. When I keep watching it out of a fervent hope that it will improve, they tell me to quit watching it. Why, Lord?0neDisturbedSOB said:
And hey, man. Let's not leave out Batman & Robin . . . (((shudder)))droogiedroogie2 said:
That was salvageable. Carrey did alright with the Riddler. People say it was just a Joker ripoff, but admittedly, the Riddler has often flirted with being a poor man's Joker. I think he even admitted it once, maybe in an issue of Batman Chronicles. Kilmer was better than Keaton, in my book. Gough was always a good Alfred, and Jones at least sort of looked the Two-Face part.uc73 said:
Yeah I'll have to agree with you. I enjoyed Forever until B&R came out. Kilmer was a better Batman. He had a much better suit and he actually looked the part save for the blonde hair. And Carrey could have easily topped Jack's Joker. I liked his Riddler but that's just not how I see the Riddler. I'd rather see the Riddler be more like Spacey's Kizer So'Zea ( or however it's spelled) from "The Usual Suspects".droogiedroogie2 said:
