I love Batman TAS. If anyone loves Batman and Justice League and other DC Animated Series, you should definitely check out Young Justice on Netlfix. I just found this show a week ago and it's awesome. By the way, Australia has a major city named Batman, with its own representative in their Parliament. Imagine having like Bob Johnson (D-Batman) on CSPAN.

XyloJW posted:He looks the right age to have played Jesse Pinkman. Hm. Pages back but I'm amazed no one posted this but Aaron Paul auditioned for the role of Francis, one of Halsenberg's children and didn't get it. My familiarty with Belgium ends at In Bruges (one of my favorite movies) and the vast number of flemish lawyers that took financial regulation classes with me in law school. Any idea why belgian lawyers would take american financial regulation classes at a vastly higher rate than americans? They seriously made up a majority of the students in each class. Was it to buy our beer companies?

Lawman 0 posted:Is there a story behind the name? Yeah the (white) guy who explored it was named John Batman, and he declared it Batmania. But then later they changed the name to Melbourne, after the then-Prime Minister of Britain, depriving the world of a great name for the second largest city in Australia. Still they named a suburb Batman so that's something.

Batman TAS was great until they changed the art style to make it look more like the stupid Superman cartoon they were bringing out. One of the prettier shows on TV suddenly looked like a half-assed mess.

I did like the Justice League when I was in middle school though and I would struggle to stay up to 10 to watch it haha tbp

Here's what Charles Baudelaire (a french cool guy) had to say about Belgians:Baudelaire posted:"The Belgians are fools, liars, and thieves... Here deceit is the rule and brings no dishonor... Don't ever believe what people say about the good nature of the Belgians. Ruse, defiance, false affability, crudeness, treachery - now all of that you can believe."

zoux posted:Quick name one thing about Belgium. My grandpa served in a hospital there during WWII. He recently passed, and my family decided to give me the job of going through his war photos and seeing what I can do with them. First pass I discovered a lot of VE-era photos of Liege and Tongres, a near mint collection of wallet sized pictures of the liberation of Paris, some pictures of Tongres right after the Americans recaptured the city, and a postcard signed by a 'Swiss Godmother' my Grandfather met on leave in Switzerland.
