Teen Titans Go is a lot of fun. Also unlike every other cartoon they've ever put out they're somehow allowed to just do whatever when it comes to using characters.

Batman's parents seem kind of poo poo themselves with respect to philanthropic use of their money. Batman at least represents a real investment and personal stake in the lives of the common people, dumb and counterproductive as it turns out to be.

What did his mom and dad ever do with their millions, sponsor some episodes of Fresh Air with Terry Gross? If you're going to bag on Batman for being a repressive extension of state power and a tool for the status quo, it seems like rich people who just drop some cash into charities and otherwise enjoy the pleasures of owning the means of production seem much worse as far as the neoliberal machine and the damage it causes.

Thomas Wayne would have been an early backer of the Clinton campaign, is what I'm saying.

Wasn't Thomas Wayne's big thing funding hospitals since he was a doctor?

Also the TV show Gotham is kind of digging into this stuff as Bruce learns that the company with his family name on it has been into a bunch of shady poo poo, usually because his family (and father in particular) weren't really paying attention to where their money was coming from.

I don't remember seeing much of TNBA but i remember seeing like, a thread on another forum discussing the evolution of Poison Ivy's designs. TAS Ivy was pretty much just a sexy redhead and nothing else in terms of design. TNBA made her look a bit more distinct IIRC.

The Batman had my favorite Ivy design because she actually looked like a plant lady.

The original B:TAS costumes looked like people in costumes. In TNBA they looked like cartoon characters.

Pretty sure the homemade suit is from the new movie. You can see it in one of the later trailers.

Yeah I wrote off GLTAS because the pilot looked like a bargain bin PS2 game but I've seen clips in my YouTube recommended feed and it looks like it turned into a pretty good show. I keep thinking I'll watch the whole thing one of these days but then end up putting it off. Is it streaming anywhere?

There was a really funny moment in the first episode where Hal meets up with a Lantern from "frontier space" (where they were) and Kilowog makes fun of Hal for wearing a mask to hide his identity in the depths of space.

The first season was Hal traveling from the edge of the galaxy after Hal and Kilowog commandeer an experimental Lantern spaceship and discovering that Red Lanterns exist and they're coming for revenge. When he finally gets back to Earth Hal learns that Guy Gardner has been activated as a Lantern and that he is much more popular and famous than Hal. The second half of the show was Hal versus the Manhunters who in turn were working for the Anti-Monitor. The show wraps up most of its story arcs and doesn't end on a cliffhanger or anything like that so it isn't like other canceled cartoon shows.

Wasn't there a pitch for a live action Batman series about his college years when he learned all his Batman skills?

IIRC they were going to add a young Bruce Wayne to Smallville but dropped it at the last minute.

Makes sense that he would think about following in his father's footsteps.

Looks like Gotham fell right into the same trap as Smallville where they greenlight the show and then realize "Wait everything interesting about this guy happens way after this period... gently caress it we'll do it all anyway and just keep him out of the suit" which is not the greatest way to run a show.

This season has him wearing a suit and fighting crime.

On the other hand, Gotham did have the Penguin blow up Azrael with a rocket launcher. So that was neat.

I know a reboot of Reboot (heh) was announced a while back but I think it totally fell apart in the last year

edit: okay nevermind, Wikipedia says it's still happening next year but it's gonna be some weird live-action hybrid so I guess Reboot + Digimon season 2 + lovely child actors.

Nah, they have claimed to be working on more Reboot for years and years and years and literally nothing ever comes of it.

Beast machines was where they killed like half the characters from Wars and went back to a dead Cybertron and morphed into like half animal half vehicle forms and optimus became some weird pacifist monk for a while right?

That show sucked

Something that bugged me about Beast Machines was how the designs didn't actually transform. They just kind of magically changed from beast to machine.

Teen Titans Go had a pretty great gag in this week's episode. They were sending up awards shows and they did a bit about the "In Memorium" section and all the things they showed during it were canceled DC cartoons using actual clips from the shows. Including the original Teen Titans cartoon.

It's going to be on the DC streaming service which, as far as I know, doesn't have a start date yet. It will have the new season of Young Justice and a live action Teen Titans show with future plans being shows for Harley Quinn and Swamp Thing.

Is it an actual revival, though, like Young Justice or Clone Wars or is it just a crossover with TTG? Because the designs looking dated would actually be a bonus for the latter as it's an opening for jokes.

They've already done a joke with using old footage and talking about the old version of the show so this has to be something different.

That's also when they changed how Bruce looked. Originally it was all casual suits and mussed hair where looking at him you'd never think this guy was Batman. Redesign Bruce is like first choice if you were trying to figure out who Batman was.

Which reminds me of some of the loonier examples of super tech that could be widespread on Earth but aren't because reasons. Once in Judd Winick's Outsiders Nightwing says they have technology that can pull a specific set of fingerprints off of a glass counter in a mall several days after they were left there. This was while they were teaming with John Walsh who is impressed but does not immediately ask why every law enforcement agency on the planet doesn't have this. It's also never mentioned again.

Kind of like in the post Annihilation Guardians series they recruit an Earth hero who was paralyzed and fix his spine and nobody says "Hey, maybe we should bring this stuff back to Earth?"

Sounds like all of the Spider-man cartoons were just playing the long game and setting up a Spider-verse miniseries to resolve all of these at once.

The 90s Spider-Man cartoon ended with a Spider-Verse story where Peter met a bunch of alternate versions of himself. At one point Peter makes a stop in a world where Spider-Man is just a comic book character and he meets Stan Lee.

Edit: Although this being 90s Spider-Man it sounds more impressive than it actually was.
