That was a very good one.

Still though, Big Time was terrible, and there was that episode with the Ma Baker pastiche, and Curare had nothing going on with her at all other than she kills people and looks like a racist stereotype.

In the comics, IIRC her brother turned out to be the Green Lantern from the Justice League episodes

Not sure if it belongs here but you can set Waze navigation voice to the Batman dubbed by Kevin Conroy and it will last till the 31st October. I've just used it for one trip and yes it's great.

I know Kevin Conroy has aged gracefully but I was hoping to get lighter, chill Bruce as well as the chronic Bat-voice version.

I liked Gotham Knight a lot. Even the story with bishonen Bruce was fun to watch. Makes me want DC to put out more anthology type stuff for the greater universe without strictly sticking to one style.

New Batman cartoon picked up straight to series for HBO Max and Cartoon Network headed up by Bruce Timm, Matt Reeves and...:sigh: J.J. Abrams.



While the Abrams...and even the Timm association unfortunately have me weary, the Golden Age design and this quote have me excited:

"We are beyond excited to be working together to bring this character back, to tell engrossing new stories in Gotham City. The series will be thrilling, cinematic and evocative of Batman’s noir roots, while diving deeper into the psychology of these iconic characters. We cannot wait to share this new world.”

I mean, looking at past Batman cartoons since BTAS, discounting DCAU, there was The Batman which definitely was lighter in tone, Brave and the Bold - yuh, and Beware the Batman which I can't comment on, but did lean into "dark" as far as I can tell. Then there were all of the old 70s/80s Batman cartoons which were definitely lighter in tone. I'd say Batman has had more lighthearted shows than not.

Beware the Batman did pair Bruce with Katana who you didn't really see anywhere (I believe this was before SS) and had Agent 47 Alfred.

Wasn't sure if it was 1 episode or a 4-part special. 80 whole minute feature film. :allears: the peak evolution of the teacher bringing a tv in the rolling table thing because they're tired

Also the gist of it is that the monstars showed up, Cyborg finds out that the rest of hte titans haven't seen Space Jam, and then makes them all watch Space Jam.

This is the best. Has any cartoon done meta as well as TTG? ATLA has the awesome Ember Island Players episode.

"Catchin' Villains" and "Take it Down Low" are straight fire along with "Leprechaun Life". Actually, just watch the whole thing.

Also not in the video, but "Mummy Money" is gold as well.

The most recent Spider-Man cartoon is weird that way because Miles and Gwen and Anya all get spider powers as well fairly early on and they all go to the same kid genius school and there's not a compelling reason given why Peter is all that special or different other than being first.

Ya know, I never really thought about it until all my Batman discussions in the last week, but I think the reason I have always loved Batman Beyond and even preferred it to BLTAS is that it's a "Bat Family" story by its very nature. And that's also why Under the Red Hood is my favorite Batman film. I pointed out to ImpAtom that I preferred BB to Dark Knight Rises because in Rises Batman just saves himself. In the DCAU, Batman would have died alone and miserable if not for Terry. Jason is also heading to an ugly and bitter end without Bruce.

I guess I just prefer stories that aren't centered entirely on Bruce. Alone, he is nothing; a sad wreck of a human being. The only hope any of them have is with each other.

If you don't need any actual crime fighting, Batman: Wayne Family Adventures may be right up your (Crime) Alley

I'll bite. How does Young Justice tie itself to Green Lantern TAS?

During the episode, we learn that Razer (now a Blue Lantern per the end of GL TAS) has been doing some questing to find Aya to little to no success. In YJ, he shows up on New Genesis, where the A plot of the week is going on in order to reclaim the red ring he gave to Metron for safekeeping. Surprise, Metron was a dick and was leading Razer on a wild goose chase in order to have time to study the red ring. In exchange for the red ring, he wants the blue ring, so to study as well. Razer puts on the red ring and goes rage mode, but the blue ring comes to him of its own will. He puts on both a la Guy, explosions happen, Razer flies off into space as Razerman Red/Blue to resume his search.

I really like Babel, the Shriek-centered episode where he gets the city to turn its opinion on Batman and all of Terry's allies (even Bruce) tells him to just not go to the final showdown and Terry just is like Batman wouldn't do that. In the end, he saves the day, and a firefighter tries to help him up and Terry is like nope

edit: realizing my favorite episodes deal with Terry questioning his abilities as Batman I also recommend "Lost Soul" and maybe "Mind Games"

I don't think it's Studio MIR? Credits only say Warner Brothers Animation, and Studio MIR itself doesn't mention it on their portfolio (most recent thing on their sites is star wars vision season 2) or on their twitter.

Show's great, tho. I like this really clear vision of Superman trying to learn who he is in an abstract, and also literal with the alien stuff, level.

I feel like this will shape Deathstroke as profoundly as the Teen Titans cartoon did

If it isn't studio Mir, they've got their style to a T

Robin never appears out of uniform in the TT cartoon and I don’t think is ever referred to by his civilian name (hell, if I remember right they don’t even mention Batman for that matter)

They never say Dick but *snicker* they definitely imply it's him by using his origin, and his 5th dimension counterpart calls himself Nosyarg Kcid

I forget, why couldn’t they directly reference Batman in that show again?

Also while TT was kind of all over the place tonally I will give them credit for giving us a much better version of Starfire and Deathstroke than what we had at the time (they even ditched the latter’s stupid codename and had him go by his much more imposing first name “Slade”)

It could have been because The Batman was on around that time, I think?
