Avengers Assemble as so far been the most generic cartoon possible. It almost feels like its from the early to mid 90's at times. Hawkeye tends to be a bit funny I guess.

Teen Titans Go is growing on me a bit. It can be funny sometimes, but.. when they fired Beast Boy, that was a pretty funny episode all the way around. Also, I'm happy there was a call out to Howard the Duck and Devil Dinosaur on Ultimate Spiderman. I'd be happy to see them animated. Honestly, I'd love a Spidey show that was more like Brave and the Bold, where he just teams up with random people.

Certainly wouldn't be the first time. "Marvel Team-Up" volume 1 was a comic book that ran for years and years and was kind of a misleading title as it was really "Spider-Man Team-Up" for all but a handful of its issues.

That Green Arrow short was pretty good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVRiADlDEig But why oh why does every single kiss have to have the woman let out a little moan in every modern DC animated series. It's always: 1) "One liner"  2) Kiss 3) "mmm"

I knew I wasn't the only one who thought Superman: The Animated Series was much better and much more consistent than Batman: The Animated Series. The Superman show's "filler" episodes can be classified as good episodes as well, while Batman's "filler" episodes were atrociously bad.

I don't think Superman had as many stand out episodes, is the thing. That first Apokolips two-parter is probably the high point, but what else holds a candle to that? I can think of a lot of good episodes, but not many more great ones. With Batman, sure, there's stuff like the Cool Hand Luke episode or the sewer king, but you've also got Mad Love, or Heart of Ice, or The Man Who Killed Batman. So if you're going to marathon a show, go with Superman. If you're gonna watch one or two episodes, pick one or two good Batman episodes.

It has all sorts of Silver Age goofiness in it, like Superman flawlessly imitating Batman's (and Robin's) voice because of super-bullshit-muscle control, and Superman fumbling through fights trying to act weaker than he is in order to make sure people think Batman's in town.

For me, the first five minutes of Up are more powerful than that. But let's play fair. Within the DCAU, I'd say that this was more powerful:

Superman TAS is much more.. boring and stilted vs Batman TAS. It has some good episodes but most of it is pretty awful and hard to watch, even in the face of some of the worst BTAS episodes. When I had re-watched the entire DCAU over the course of a couple weeks, I actually skipped 80% of STAS because they are mostly so uninteresting.

I can think of a lot of good episodes, but not many more great ones. With Batman, sure, there's stuff like the Cool Hand Luke episode or the sewer king, but you've also got Mad Love, or Heart of Ice, or The Man Who Killed Batman. Well now that I really think about it. I've realized that I liked the Superman TAS the most out of all the DC animated series, I haven't watched Young Justice nor Teen Titans so I can't say anything about those. My problem with Justice League was that a lot of the episodes in the early seasons seemed really toned-down and mellow, or that they didn't really reach expectations. I thought the interaction between the characters were a bit stiff at times, which is definitely strange, and the intensity wasn't there sometimes. Like when I read JLA comics there were stories where they were fighting Angels and Demons, and Rock of Ages, Tower of Babel, The End of the Justice League, Absolute Power, War of the Worlds, World War 3 etc...those stories were intense, you felt that things could go really bad but in the show a lot of the episodes just lacked that feeling for some reason. It did get better in Justice League Unlimited when The Question and Green Arrow joined, it became more interesting and the stakes were higher. And with Batman TAS, yes there were many memorable episodes, but I felt that there were a lot of episodes even with the A-List villain, felt a bit flat. I didn't enjoy a lot of the Joker episodes, nor the Penguin episodes, I really liked Two-Face and Mr.Freeze though. I think it was more due to restrictions more than anything here. The comic versions of those villains are obviously psychotic and murderous, and the show can't really show that stuff. I hated that Bane episode where Batman just defeats Bane easily. The Ra's Al Ghul episodes felt the closest to the comics and they were really intense. Since Superman doesn't really have a lot of serial killer psycho villains, so the show can be closer to the original material.

I won't argue with any of that, but I want to add that one thing Batman has that Superman doesn't is Harley Quinn. Are you watching a Harley Quinn episode? You are watching A Good Episode. She was made for the show, so you don't get that slightly off feeling you get if you're used to the murderous psychopath version of the Joker or Penguin. Superman, on the other hand, has Livewire and Volcana.  Edit: What I'm getting at, or want to anyway, is that Batman has higher highs and lower lows. And Harley Quinn is a hell of a drug.

Another really good STAS episode is The Late Mr. Kent, where Clark survives a car bomb but all evidence says that he should be dead, so Superman and Lois have to solve the case while while Superman simultaneously tries to figure out how to bullshit up a way for Clark Kent to have survived.

I don't think calling S:TAS awful is in any way accurate. It may not have been the best DCAU series, but nothing was going to reach the heights of B:TAS or JLU. The only outright bad episode I can think of was the Livewire one and that is probably only because it seemed like it was on every time I turned it on while the show was still on TV. But anyway, compare S:TAS to anything running concurrently and it was a pretty loving fantastic show. Being only the third best DCAU show (dead in the middle if you consider JL a separate thing from JLU or if you want to count Zeta Project and/or Static Shock) is hardly a bad thing.

Superman was by far the blandest of all the DCU shows and was often exactly what it was supposed to be: a saturday morning cartoon for kids. It sometimes rose above that, but much more rarely than Batman or JLU did. It just barely ekes out Batman Beyond for bland to memorable episode ratio, and McGuinness only gets out of that one because the show was stylish as hell.

Oh, good episode. The other thing about that episode that I like is it's got probably one of my all time favourite quotes about Superman which perfectly explains any notion of Superman being real and Clark Kent being a mask. quote:But I am Clark. I need to be Clark. I'd go crazy if I had to be Superman all the time! It's also got a deliciously black ending, where the real murderer figures out how Kent was able to survive, just as he's being executed.
