Teen Titans Go features an episode wherein Robin teaches the Titans (and viewers) how to be a slumlord so it is a cool and good show.

What I find tragic about the Batgirl brouhaha that it ends up diluting the story. It's obscured the actual adaptation in discussion.

Yeah, someone said it in the last thread, but by making Barbara and Bruce gently caress-buddies they change the story from being about Joker torturing Gordon by hurting his daughter to being about Joker torturing Gordon
as well as
Batman by hurting Barbara, since now she's Batman's lover. It essentially makes Gordon less important despite the fact that he's one of the central characters.

Avengers finally started again. Black Widow causes the terrigen bomb. Kamala was only in there for like 5 seconds. Maybe next week :/

Wait, what? How? Why? Like, I know the cartoon is only roughly adapting comics, but Black Widow setting off the bomb is a big diversion. How do they play that out?

They just announced season 4 and 2 of those (AA: Secret Wars) and apparently the Captain Marvel of AA (her hair is so HIDEOUS) shows up in season 2 of GotG, so that's connected.

ugh, why?

Youtube recommended that I watch a big "Avengers vs. Thanos" the other day and I thought "this'll be terrible but I have to see, I have to see if maybe things are better".

But the show continued to live down to expectations. God it's just so bad.

I dunno. I've always felt that "every single one of Batman's rogues needs to be a Hollywood crazy person" is something the mythos has been too reliant on him.

I liked The Batman's take on him as a mirror of Bruce (Bruce, not Batman) whose family never made as good as the Waynes and now as its only heir Ozzy is just this petty little pipsqueak who runs around wasting his family's money being a supercriminal.

Really, there are a lot of Bat villains I think TB handled better than BTAS. Firefly and Riddler come to mind.

I really like The Batman but even I will not stand up for Marilyn Manson Riddler, drat man.

It's very clean animation. The problem is that it's just very plainly directed with obviously pretty boring storyboards and no sense of style.

Take its version of the Super Mutant fight

Now compare it to the TNBA version

Just take the "I'm the surgeon" moment alone. In the confines of Kids WB, TNBA is able to get across a much more brutal moment.

Man watching those clips just makes me disappointed that Ironside wasn't Batman in the DKR movie.

I think YJ started rough but ultimately finished pretty well in it's first season and it looked pretty promising.


And then the second season flushes all that promise down the drain and is just awful. But then, I shouldn't be complaining, that would be playing right into The Light​'s hands...

The Music Meister just made an appearance on The Flash/Supergirl crossover episode a few weeks back, and he debuted on Batman: The Brave and The Bold.


(If you wanna get pedantic he acted more like Mxyptlk, but he was billed as the Music Meister and it was a musical)

Diggle also got brought over from Arrow into the comics.

Felicity was already there but as a totally different character. Firestorm's stepmother or something?

It's kind of a reach because it's not really Thea, but Oliver now has a little half-sister who wears red and fights alongside him.

For more kinda-sorta crossovers, the new Wasp in Marvel is Hank Pym's daughter Nadia. And people were quick to point out that Nadia means "hope" in many languages but surely that's not related to Hope Pym from the Ant-Man movie. :D

I could be remembering poorly, but I'm almost certain there are LT episodes of Bugs just being a smarmy rear end in a top hat to Daffy or Porky simply because he could.

One of the best and most well-regarded Looney Tunes ever is "Duck Amuck", a 7 minute short wherein Bugs Bunny tortures Daffy Duck by ripping his very reality asunder.

I still can't believe DC's going to try and launch their own streaming service for basically... just Young Justice, unless they're gonna rip the CW shows off of Netflix and put them there too. I certainly haven't seen any announcements for other shows coming to this yet to be launched service, at least. I know there is a very vocal YJ fanbase but I think it's gonna be interesting to see how many people pay up vs how many just pirate it.


Also I haven't been keeping up with anything about the next season of YJ but if they don't have an actual name and Batman's still calling them "The Team" or something I will flip my poo poo be unnecessarily mad.

I still have no idea how anyone can look at the BTAS Catwoman, and the TNBA Catwoman and think the latter is anything but a massive misstep.

I'll go out on a craaazy limb and say it was related to Tim Burton/Batman Returns. I mean, I won't disagree that it (and many of the TNBA designs except for Scarecrow) looks bad, but changing the look of characters to fit their most popular incarnation is just what the Big Two do.

It's definitely not, Returns is the whole reason BTAS Selina has blonde hair and BTAS Penguin has flipper hands. Both of them changed to be comic accurate when the art style changed. By that time the Burton movies were far enough away they could ignore them.

If I had to guess it was all about being easier to animate, with less detail and simpler outfits.

Yeah but she looks relatively normal in BTAS whereas TNBA gives her that Michelle Pfeiffer ghost white skin.

GL was definitely the better show that got the most unfair deal due to the Ryan Reynolds movie being a massive flop.

Catching up on the new Spider-man cartoon: three episodes came out yesterday, making a symbiote arc (i think, i've only seen the first one so far) and man, that's a strong debut for Dark Spider-man. I really dig the Sandman stuff, too. The show is kinda loud about how much it uses the science angle, but I like how family is a bit more subtle, yet just as important. However, most emotional and in-depth thoughts kinda fly away with how loving cool Symbiote Spider-man's debut was, that was some SSJ poo poo right there.

Wow, kinda surprised they did the symbiote so soon. Don't get me wrong, I know it's an important Spider-story, but it seems like most of the cartoons till now have waited a while before introducing it.
