- You can sing the Joker fish theme song from "The Laughing Fish".
- When someone asks you which actor you think portrayed Batman the best, you immediately respond "Kevin Conroy".
- You recognize other actors (such as David Warner) by what character they voiced in TAS.
- You loved Heath Ledger's Joker, but you really wish he had Mark Hammil's laugh.
- The New Batman Adventures is too different, the drawing style is too simplified and the villains looks have been changed too much; but at least it still has the same voices.
- If your friends want to insult you, they mention that you love "The Batman".
- When someone tries to link Teen Titans to Batman the Animated Series, you feel insulted.
- You participate in the debate about whether it should be named the "Dini" or "Timm" verse.
- You got really excited when you heard that Kevin Conroy and Mark Hammil are doing the voices for Batman and the Joker in the upcoming Batman: Arkham Asylum videogame.
- Robin is actually cool to you and you wish the movies had pulled him off as well as the Animated Series did.
- According to you, Batman: Mask of the Phantasm is the best Batman film ever.

Continue everyone!
 
-You think "Heart of Ice" is tear inducing.
-TAS's Alfred was the "right" Alfred because he had a mustache.
-You think it's the best Batman series and overall best representation of Batman.
-You still play Batman: Vengence and Rise of Shin Tzu.
-You actually know the difference between TAS and TNAS causing normies to be baffled.
-You own all the seasons on DVD.
-You could tell what backgrounds were reused in which episodes.
 
-When you worship it through the blood sacrifice of others :woot:
-When you consider the DCAU Mad Hatter the TRUE Mad Hatter (which he is)
-When your idea of a party is a BTAS marathon
-When you get shivers every time you watch Two-Face go schiz, Mr Freeze shed tears or Babydoll break down.
-When uou consider the BTAS theme the end-all of Batman themes (which it is)
-When you can actually list down atleast 75 of the original eps (I can get them all now)
-When you consider TDK's Joker a poor man's Mark Hamill
-When the very mention of the voice actors returning for ANYTHING in their roles enough to induce a fangasm.
-When David Warner and Jeffrey Combs beat the crap out of Liam Neeson and Cillian Murphy in your books
-When you consider MOTP the best Batman movie ever, even above TDK.
-When you still love Mystery of the Batwoman despite its faults.
 
- You cringe when someone pronounces Ra's Al Ghul 'Raahz' instead of Rhaaash'.
- You were even more pissed about Batman and Robin when you realized that it took just enough of Dini's wonderful Mr. Freeze story so that no other filmmaker will ever do it justice.
- You liked the white eye (sonar) lenses in TDK, but really wished they'd had that pointed, menacing look from TAS. In fact, you're still holding out for them.
- You loved Adam West as the Gray Ghost...and nothing else.
 
- You cringe when someone pronounces Ra's Al Ghul 'Raahz' instead of Rhaaash'.
QUOTED FOR TRUTH!

-You consider the TAS version of Riddler is the definitive incarnation
-When you talk-along with/quote full episodes
-You think TAS Batman could bench-press Christian Bale
-You consider Bane's ONLY onscreen incarnation to be on the series. Anyone else who tries to convince you that he was in Batman&Robin is gravely mistaken.
 
- You remember all the riddles from the Riddle of the Minotaur game in "If You're So Smart Why Aren't You Rich?"
- You're still disappointed that they haven't put the giant Batcomputer screen into any of the movies, cuz that thing is friggen cool.
- To you, Carmine Falcone seemed like a cheap Roland Dagget knockoff.
- You avoid cosmetics, fearing turning into Clayface.

I'm definitely guilty of this.

- You got really excited when you heard that Kevin Conroy and Mark Hammil are doing the voices for Batman and the Joker in the upcoming Batman: Arkham Asylum videogame.

Now that I know this, I'm very excited.

- According to you, Batman: Mask of the Phantasm is the best Batman film ever.

Out of the old films, I definitely agree. Still out for judgment when it comes to the Nolanverse, though.
 
- When you think Mr.Freeze was the most cold blooded person in cartoon history.

best mr.freeze ever, could never be topped. Or could it.. Nolan? ;)
 
- You're upset whenever you see Batman without his Yellow Oval.
- When you think the Joker should have an orange shirt.
- When there was a time when you would patrol Amazon looking for a DTV of Batman's animated origin story.
- When you were shocked that Batman Begins did'nt use a variation of the Danny Elfman theme.
 
When you're 22 years old and when this comes on, you sit as close to the television as possible a la young Bruce watching The Grey Ghost.
