my best freind loved it but i always hated it, i was a contrarian or whatever because i thought BMTAS was the best, it always felt like it was someone in the writing team trying to insult the golden age or something.

>>149928702 (OP)
fantastic show, wish there was more

It's kino. Tons of Silver Age characters, but then they also bring in modern ones like Pyg. There's something for everyone.

>>149928702 (OP)
Excellent show, real love letter to the silver age and comics as a whole. It introduced me to some of my favorite characters and it took a classy bow

Never saw it as much as I would have liked but I liked what I saw. Very good. Fun.

>>149928702 (OP)
I liked it a lot at the time but upon rewatch I kind of like it a lot less. I like see a lot of heroes, a lot of episodes are genuinely great, but there also a lot of times where I think it's kind of TOO self aware and tongue in cheek with the whole LOL SILVER AGE thing. But more than that I feel like there's just too much Batwank a lot of the time. Which is a weird thing to say about a Batman show but I don't think I've ever seen another show just stop mid plot and flat out say BATMAN IS THE BESTEST EVER!! The way this show does. And to be perfectly blunt, I just don't like this version of Batman as a character. It's like they tried a fusion of west and TAS and it just doesn't work.

>>149928702 (OP)
Good times. Glad the VA for that Batman was in Harley's show

it's OUTRAGEOUS!

>>149928702 (OP)
If Batman 04 captures the Gothic side of the character, then TBATB does an excellent job showcasing the flamboyant and campy Silver Age side of Batman. Perfect to watch alongside West's Batman.

I do wish that Brave and the Bold was a bit more character driven, but over the years I've come to realize that 04 and TBATB are a lot more accurate to the pulpy and episodic nature of the Golden/Silver Age, and they should be appreciated for their focus on adventure and action rather than comparing them to TAS. What Timm and Dini did was great, but we will likely never get anything like that again. Superheroes in animation benefit more from being like the classic comics than trying to be more character-driven and focus on myth arcs. For as much as people glaze BTAS, there are a lot of stinkers and not all of it holds up as consistently as BATB or 04.

TBATB makes me wish that we could have gotten similar dedicated cartoons to Superman and Wonder Woman.

>>149928702 (OP)
Surprisingly good. I liked that they leaned on featuring less popular characters and did the whole in medias res opening with one team-up and then did a different one with the main story.

>>149928797
>And to be perfectly blunt, I just don't like this version of Batman as a character. It's like they tried a fusion of west and TAS and it just doesn't work.

It works great. The intention camp works well with the silver age direction

>>149928702 (OP)
my favorite batman show

>>149928702 (OP)
I've been rewatching it and loving it just as much as when it aired. I just watched the Ted Kord episode which hits some serious feelings for a show that's mainly remembered for being goofy.

>>149928884
I don't think it does. He comes off grimmer than the TAS one a lot of the time but in far sillier situations. Maybe it's just the general lack of bruce wayne. But I feel like even Justice League had a bit more humanity. But also the whole "Intentional camp" thing was my other issue. I feel like it comes off sarcastic a lot of the time.

the series finale gave child me my an exestential crisis and put me off meta humor for years.

Ignoring that a fantastic show that introduced me to a lot heroes and villains id never heard of before and amazing voice for Batman.

>>149928702 (OP)
Phony.

>>149928702 (OP)
Excellent show! Aquaman is especially great!

>>149928931
>I feel like it comes off sarcastic a lot of the time.

It’s called being tongue in cheek

It was a entertaining show with cool stories and fun memes. It tributes not just silver age comics but entertainment of all kinds that influenced comics and animation. The Bird's of Prey dance number was a fantastic example cabaret shows from golden age Hollywood, the best example in animation being MGM's Red cartoon shorts. Also, the episode produced the Huntress Too Fast meme.
The Sherlock homes episode had tons of pulp mystery and horror goodness. The multiverse story, featuring Batman vs Owlman, was an inspired way to introduce the Joker to the series.
The art style is really appealing, too.

My favourite non-DCAU DC cartoon

Genuinely the best Batman cartoon outside of BTAS.

Aquaman has no right to be as cool and interesting as the show made him. Best version of all time.

>>149928702 (OP)
I enjoy it, and honestly probably the best Batman cartoon for kids 7 and under.

The jingles in the musical episode are burnt into my brain, probably overwriting important core memories

>>149928702 (OP)
DC's best show. I should give it a rewatch when I can alongside Avengers EMH.

>>149929410
>Aquaman has no right to be as cool and interesting as the show made him.

Fuck you and fuck this shot for perpetuating the LOL AQUAMAN SUCKS meme

>>149928702 (OP)
Who was your fave hero and villain in the show?

>>149929579
Retard, nobody who’s seen the show would say that.

>>149929663
Idiot, the show outright says as much in an episode that they TOTALLY FIXED AQUAMAN.

>>149929652
>fave hero
Guy Gardner or Wildcat
>fave villain
Batwoman

>>149928702 (OP)
Technically well made but wanks batgod far too much and far too often, even for a show with his name on it. It should have just stuck to that, simple batmen team-ups, like the cold opens, versus the main part of the episodes that followed, which was all "Batgod is just so perfect" wrapped up as others have written in Silver Age winks and nods.

>>149928871
>gotten similar dedicated cartoons to Superman and Wonder Woman.
It's not so much that DC should do this but that Batman BATB should have just been "Brave and the Bold" - where it could focus on the core and traditional JLA members in team ups and be a love letter to the SA and other comic book stories.

>>149928702 (OP)
Its the show that really got me into capeshit when i was a kid. Previously i thought superheros were mostly lame and my parents dragged me to the first two nolan batman movies and superman returns by that point and i wasnt mature enough to appreciate nolan bats yet and superman returns still sucks so before BATB i had a negative viewpoint on capeshit but this show was so fun!

>>149929844
R Lee Ermy absolutely killed it as Wildcat, he really sells the character so much wether it his likable rambunctious seniority or whenever he had to be a fatherly figure to Black Canary.

>>149929901
Yes it was really good casting. He brought so much character to Wildcat you always enjoyed seeing him interact with the young generation of heroes.

>>149929969
Honestly there was consistently great casting like Biff Tannen's actor as Sportsmaster, Kevin Michael Richardson as B'Wana Beast, Paul Reubens as Batmite and Jeffrey Combs of all actors as Kiteman who doing such a serious performance sells the inherent comedy of the character better....also connecting him to Plastic Man was actually a smart desicion.

>>149928702 (OP)
It's genuinely the best Batman cartoon. It effortlessly covers every era of the character's history and manages to have fun with the wider universe in a way which hasnt been replicated as well since. It's depressing that it didnt get the attention it deserved at the time and got a shit toyline to boot.

>>149930351
The toyline really missed the chance to do a lot of the characters such as Huntress, Vixen, Animal Vegetable Mineral Man and one anon showed me the unused prototypes for Gentleman Ghost and Faceless Hunter figures.

>>149930396
Comparing the BATB figures to both Secret Saturdays and Generator Rex's toylines makes the contrast all the more infuriating and hard to ignore. Just 2 years after BATB ended Mattel went on to reuse the bucks one final time as part of a target exclusive justice league line. When you get rid of the unsightly porta the figures look amazing. Oh man what could have been...

>>149929897
I love when anons share stories like that. My introduction to Batman was very rocky. The first Batman anything I saw was Batman and Robin. I dismissed the character as being gay and lame for a number of years as a result.

Then Return of the Joker came out and blew my mind. If not for Batman Beyond I'd have never given a flying fuck about DC at large. Batman and Robin had simply left such a bad impression that I'd become a hardcore Marvel drone from the ages of 2 to 6. Especially as a result of Raimi's Spiderman films, Hulk 03, Daredevil, and Fantastic Four 05. The 2005 Batman cartoon and the Nolan trilogy did little to retain my interest for a time, but I'd grown more invested in the DCAU by then anyways, so that kept me around until BATB. Across that same span of time I'd begun reading more comics too. It all solidified my adoration for the silver age. An appreciation which would ironically get me to come around on Batman and Robin all these years later.

>>149930438
It's still weird to me that Kanjar Ro, Rubberneck and Sportsmaster got figures over the more recurring or popular villains in the show though not a complaint since nice to see niche supervillains get figures but actual complaint that none of the woman got action figures I can think of. Shame as I think Brave and the Bold had some of the best designs for a lot of the gals but also with the essentially wacky races episode that they'd of made the vehicles from that into toys with matching driver or the Starro fused monster from the Faceless Hunter 2 parter into like a bigger sized figure. Like that show gift wrapped easy ideas for toys like Babyface's gang having the mech weapons or B'Wana Beasts fused animals.

>>149930475
I like batman and robin too but i also completely understand the hate it gets. Glad you enjoyed my post so much anon

>>149930490
I loved babyface as a kid and was disappointed to find out he wasnt a character in the actual comic. Same with equinox

>>149928959
Now, anon, no need to be a contrarian.

>>149930490
I dont think mattel put any legitimate thought into the line outside of the action league figures. It seems like they had big aspirations at first but inevitably defaulted on cheap asspull Batman variants halfway through the show's run. The fixation on modular armor probably didnt do much to bolster sales either. Thus you end up with a really lopsided range of figures which is 60 percent batman repaints, 30 percent other dc heroes, and 10 percent villains, and all the character choices are absolutely random. Why make the Metal Men at all if you're not going to complete the team? Why not create Batman variants based off the alternate costumes seen in the cartoon? Why not expressly pick out the other DC heroes you want to feature based off the slate of heroes used in season 1?

In the 90's Kenner atleast had the excuse of delayed and restrictive production materials. By the time of BATB all of this shit could have been delivered in real time

>>149930530
Didnt the BATB flash figure barely see release and was mostly found at mattel stores in california?

>>149930507
Equinox was genuinely a really cool and interesting villain in his theology so shame no comic or anything followed up on his cliffhanger. Also yeah Babyface was genuinely a really fun villain, he's a perfect send up to the Dick Tracy influence on Batman who blends the comic camp with being actually able to not just be a one note joke and be an actual villain, plus making his gang also be a similar freak show like him was a good idea. I've gotta ask though which girl did you most have a crush on watching the show as a kid like I did?

>>149930491
I think every capefag has a guilty pleasure favorite or two to call their own. Batman and Robin has become the moat universal in this regard. I'm glad many have come around to both it and Spiderman 3 in recent years.

>>149930559
>I've gotta ask though which girl did you most have a crush on watching the show as a kid like I did?
I think katana iirc but its been so long. I dont remember being that much into the girls in this show it was mostly other cartoons at the time like frankie foster or mandy from billy and mandy that i was smitten over at the time, but i did like the BATB flapper girl Harley quinn alot. Flappers are sexy
>>149930561
Agreed. Its like punisher war zone for me and how i love that movie to bits even tho its mostly forgotten

>>149930530
Yeah as a kid the millions of variants of one character never appealed to me unless there was an actual interesting hook or it was derived from something in the show itself and I wanted more so character variety or the monstrous and alien characters. A superhero franchise that was great with utilising anyone and everyone with figures is the Ultra series. Nearly every Kaiju, Seijin, villain or Ultra of note has gotten a figure even if it's the more meh 5 to 4 inch recent stuff from Ginga onwards. On the Metal Men thing, the fact Platinum never got a figure is so criminal or even that they never did a large scale Chemo figure perhaps with that goopy rubber stretch texture or something with the liquid insides like those Goo Jit Zu Figures.

>>149930507
That pic can inspire a whole discussion on its own. I cant tell if its down to the younger generation, but Superman has just as many varied iterations as Batman does at this point. For whatever reason alot of modern Superman fags are religiously beholden to this weird gay globalist iteration that came about in the 2000's, which in effect it's just a watered down version of Christopher Reeves' incarnation. "Superman for humanity" rather than Superman the American.

Seriously though think of how varied Fleischer Supes, DCAU Supes, Super Friends Supes, Ruby Spears Supes, George Reeves, Dean Cain, and Tom Welling are. And that's excluding the various comic iterations.

>>149930542
Yes. I remember those dark days...
>>149930559
underrated post. I honestly wish more had been done with the BatB OCs. I cant believe we had a Gangster Grundy in BatB and never did anything with him.

>>149930577
For me it was definitely Huntress and Fire though rewatching it gave me a few more.

Also like the Poison Ivy design but will always simp for the BTAS first design which was my first ever crush and didn't even watch a full ep of the show lol. Shego was another character crushed on despite never seeing an episode she was in. I have a hard time recalling what had crushes on when was young and in denial compare to my current sexy girl brain overload lol.

>>149928702 (OP)
i really liked it

>>149930630
>have a hard time recalling what had crushes on when was young and in denial compare to my current sexy girl brain overload lol.
Why be in denial of a cartoon crush in the first place?

Also TNBA poison ivy was her sexiest and best design

>>149930577
To this day I largely prefer the 2000's Marvel movies to the MCU, and I'll die on that hill.
>>149930586
I'm an oldfag and a /toy/ soldier. I recognize the logic behind fifty million batman variations in a given toyline. I even grew up with a handful of Mission Masters!

But unlike past series, BATB had toyetic qualities baked into it from the onset. It was like the second coming of Super Friends (but with better writing and an understanding of these characters that rivaled the DCAU and Teen Titans). It easily could have supported a massive toyline, but Mattel just refused to do their homework, and the entire toyline is an asspull as a result.

>>149928742
I dont think professor pyg ever showed up in this

>>149930645
NTA, but would you agree BATB has the best Selina Kyle Catwoman? I'll argue BTAS is a close second but BATB just did such a good job of meshing together golden and bronze age Selina. She feels like a real character for once (not to say that she didnt in other cartoons, but across the comics she was a hot mess)

>>149930612
Them stitching up his mouth so he was a bit like Mumbles was a clever take on the character and literally wanting a guys brain in his debut was a fun lean into him being a zombie. Honestly they shoulda had him team up with Gentleman Ghost in an episode, be a nice contrast of the classy cunning spectre with the more brutish gangster from slaughter swamp.

>>149930647
>To this day I largely prefer the 2000's Marvel movies to the MCU, and I'll die on that hill.

Mattel is also infamously lazy especially with DC at that time. They eventually lost the license for DC for a reason

>>149930649
>>149928742
Since you two brought up Pyg I want to note that Beware the Batman could have been cool if they stuck to the Outsiders gimmick instead of the lame ass year one direction they went with. I didnt need the build up and I sincerely believe the series would have stood a better chance if we didnt assemble the outsiders like we had. Also I'm fucking sick to death of tacticool Alfred. Of all the gay revisions made over the years, badass MI6 Alfred is the lamest and most uninspired.

>>149930653
>NTA, but would you agree BATB has the best Selina Kyle Catwoman?
Absolutely. Much Sexier then the BTAS catwoman design which i always felt sucked desu. But i need to watch her episodes again

>>149930645
Being an autistic kid who struggled with how to handle, articulate and just generally comprehend emotions made me weird about attraction to girls. There's elements of TNBA design I like, mainly more so when was used in that blegh Batman and Harley film that orange haired design with the luscious lips and the form fitting suit just engraved into my brain. Funny enough commed ghostlessm to do Poison Ivy smut with the BATB henchwoman she had.

>>149930666
based

>Mattel is also infamously lazy especially with DC at that time. They eventually lost the license for DC for a reason

Words cannot describe my immense disappointment over the news of them getting the lion's share of the toy license back from Spinmasters. Spinmasters got the shit end of the stick in every concievable sense. Also for the dozen decent Multiverse figures Todd released I still prefer and miss DCUC. They just had better aesthetics and sculpts even if their articulation was significantly dated and Mattel relied too heavily on reuse.

>>149930653
Yeah unambiguously since she better balances her playful villainess antics and her actual romantic chemistry with Batman. Plus I just think both designs she had in the show looked a lot better and I think the voice actress did a perfect job but I've got bias since Brave and the bold was my DC show growing up besides The Batman 2004.

>>149930681
I grew up being autistic too but i almost always had a boner for cartoon women. Kinda off topic but the batman poison ivy was also super hot
>Funny enough commed ghostlessm to do Poison Ivy smut with the BATB henchwoman she had.
You okay anon?

>>149930656
>Grundy and Ghost team up

The BATB writers insisted there was nothing left they could do with the series but every so often I think of an idea as fun as that and find myself irked by the statement even more. I mean shit that list of proposed episodes that never got made? It keeps me up at night.

>>149930692
Mattel getting back the license is peak idiocy on DCs part. Its like battered wife syndrome at this point

>>149930677
The fact that they made the golden age costume sexy is a feat in its own right too. It covers up so much skin you'd never guess in a million years they could make it work, but good god that voice and those curves made it happen.

BTAS Catwoman still gets my goat fwiw. I just cant stand for TNBA. That show got so much right, but just as much wrong. Ever seen Mystery of the Batwoman? Absolutely dogshit.

>>149930696
I can respect that

>>149930647
Genuine shame since the possibilities really were endless, Fire and Ice dual pack, Gorilla Batman figure, I already mentioned Animal Vegetable Mineral Man but you could do variants just based of his different combinations he used in the show alone and Batman of Zur-enn-arr before the comics made him lame.

>>149930706
Tell me about it. Atleast Todd retains the license until 2027. His Super Powers line is the last bit of good in this shit world. Likewise I lament the fact that spinmasters will never get to realize their super poseable Total Justice revival aspirations.

>>149930698
With The Batman growing up, I didn't crush on Poison Ivy in that show but instead Batgirl or Ellen Yin. Also yeah I'm good just felt tangentially relevant and I'm shameless about the art I commission or mentioning it. That 2004 show actually did pretty well with it's toyline in regards to variants and character choices though still coulda used few extra.

>>149930744
>fellow toddslop super powers enjoyer
Muh nigga. Im mad they havent done a joker yet or more bat villains in the line
> Likewise I lament the fact that spinmasters will never get to realize their super poseable Total Justice revival aspirations.
Thats a thing they wanted to do?

>>149930760
Bat girl in that show was a cutie as well i concur.

Post the art m8
> That 2004 show actually did pretty well with it's toyline in regards to variants and character choices though still coulda used few extra.
I wish they did black mask

>>149930704
I figure it was more so they just felt they had enough of a good run, perhaps they did get told by overheads to wrap things up and didn't want to drag things out or they just wanted to move on to other projects but yeah that show easy could've used those extra ideas or squeeze one more extra season.

>>149930771
Black Mask is genuinely one of Batman's most underrated villains who gets fucked over so much in movies and the Arkham games. He's very simple but enjoyable as the sorta inbetweener of the costumed supervillain and the old Gotham mob, like he's the criminal missing link of the two. Really liked him in the Under the Red Hood film where he's just perpetually pissed and has his sexy Asian secretary. Also yeah Batgirl just had a great design and costume in that show, might be an idea to comm something of that design but more so with them BTAS curves.

Also here's the Poison Ivy comm, usually don't order lesbian stuff but had this idea for a good while and the /aco/ draw threads weren't biting for it so figured may as well comm it up.

Would have liked to see a specifically Batman-family show in this style. Short-pants Robin and all. Really lean into the Dick Sprang influence.

>>149930763
The fact that he hasnt done an all villains wave is baffling to me. Atleast do the basic Joker, Riddler, Penguin ensemble. I still cant believe he kicked off the line with fucking batkek and nu52 Darkseid. I was certain it was joever but somehow Todd unfucked things.

And yeah they did. They said as much back in 2024 but nothing has manifested. With the license getting rugpulled I can only assume their kenner 5 poa releases and the samurai batman stuff is their swan song with the brand.

Thats what really introduced me to him and continues to be my favorite portrayal of him. And yeah his secretary was sexy

Also nice pic

>>149930787
It's funny how you can get retroactively pissed about something, it's like when I became a Hank Pym or the Serpent Society fan few years back and while trying to catch up on the characters/delve into them and history wasn't kind with their depictions and so on. Speaking of, EMH was another show that could've had a good tier toyline but just never did.

>>149930803
We could float an entire thread off wasted Batman villains. I cant believe people are genuinely excited to see Clayface's cinematic debut. He's such a low tier villain, and there's a veritable well of untapped better options. More than anything I'd rather just see a cool live action Batman tv show again seeing as we havent had once since Adam West

>inb4 gotham, pennyworth, batwoman

I dont count those because they all lack batman.

>>149930820
>And yeah they did. They said as much back in 2024 but nothing has manifested. With the license getting rugpulled I can only assume their kenner 5 poa releases and the samurai batman stuff is their swan song with the brand.
Its such a damn shame, fuck mattel! Also Have they also shown off any burton bats 5poa figures they will do besides the keaton batman bundled with the batmobile?

>>149930806
They kind of do that a few times. There's even an episode that tips the hat to the original earth 2 continuity complete with a Dick-Bats taking Selina and Bruce's orphaned son as a ward.

>>149930830
Dont get me started on EMH or Hank. I'll talk ypur ear off if you let me. The disrespect Marvel continues to dish out to Hank is only rivaled by their decade of disdain for the Fantastic Four. Ironically EMH gave us the best versions of both. Disney buying Marvel really terminally cucked us out of fun.

>>149930827
That film was also my major intro to him besides his brief appearance in Brave and the Bold. Arkham Origins really should've just kept him the villain of the game since I have such Joke fatigue, I can only stand the guy in animated stuff and anywhere else he's awful....though Jack Nicholson was a fun Joker. Black Mask is really only done major justice as a villain in the 2004 show since he commands a lot of presence, has the best depiction of his mask and isn't used as a prop to establish other bad guys.

Also Thanks mate, planning to comm Ghostlessm another Poison Ivy but figuring if it'll be solo, her shagged by a supervillain specifically either Copperhead or Beyond Spellbinder in a turn of the tables.

>>149930844
>Have they also shown off any burton bats 5poa figures they will do besides the keaton batman bundled with the batmobile

There was a press release some months ago detailing 89' Joker, Bob the Goon, The Penguin, and Catwoman. Whether or not they see the light of day is a whole 'nother can of worms.

>>149930870
Wait does black mask also appear in brave and the bold? I think i vaguely remember him being in it somewhat but not much. And even tho im not a vidya person i agree black mask should've just been the main antagonist for arkham origins but ya gotta have joker wank to sell the merch, anon

>>149930863
EMH Hank is genuinely a masterwork in character adaption and was what turned me into a fan over a binge plus from what I recall watching growing up, same as with Kang the Conqueror. Also yeah the Fantastic Four really got buggered over, X-Men fans can never complain about how they perceive Marvel snubbing them when the FF got treated far worse in actuality. EMH was a that pretty much perfectly did in characterisation and visuals nearly every character that appeared in it perfectly, even ones who never said much or appeared briefly. It's still crazy that this show for a few episodes did the Wrecking Crew, Malekith, Kang, Ultron, The Leader, Klaw and Baron Zemo better then the MCU ever did.

>>149930649
Cameo in the Damien episode

>>149930877
I hope those see release but until then i doubt it

>>149930917
Didnt even remember there was a damien episode in BATB. What season?

>>149930913
Yeah he appears in this episode and also the one where Batman becomes a vampire.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RGs_08aZbAI&pp=0gcJCf8Ao7VqN5tD

Also they should've just had Joker appear as a background or side quest element in the game. The Insomniac Spider-man sequel though has probably the worst treatment of a characters rogues gallery In a video game and following up off the first game doing well with Doctor Octopus, Shocker and Mister Negative of all characters despite being made by Dan Slott.

>>149930915
Hank could have been one of the biggest names in Marvel if editorial didnt hate him for being schzophrenic and normies didnt regard his power set as something laughable akin to what Aquaman was seen as 20 years ago. Instead they doubled down on making an easy bad guy of him just like they did with Reed. I've been a lifelong FF fag and witnessing all the damage they've done just makes me hate marvel/disney so much more.

EMH nails just about everyone it touched too. Im sad we never got to see Daredevil. It's no surprise to me that they nailed all those villains, because buy and large the MCU doesnt have villains. They either produce cannon fodder or misunderstood "victims". The MCU fucked up so much, and most normalfags will never comprehend this. I was as big of a Thorfag as I was an FF fag growing up, so you can imagine the seething rage their utter rape of Asgard and Thor left me feeling for the last decade.

Daily reminder that Red Tornado was destroyed by the Faceless Hunter, and nobody cared or even rebuilt him.

>>149930987
:(

No show has gotten Tornado right since

Oooo I'm so sorry dude, as a Hulk fan I get your pain about MCU butchering. Admittedly am a Thor casual beyond liking his villains or when he has playable appearances in games/cartoons but the way they did him on the mcu is dirty, I mean Jane Foster Thor before Beta Ray Bill/ massacring the warriors three and fumbling Gorr utterly visually/writing wise but also not just using Mangog instead who has the whole rage against Asgard thing more directly?

I hate that I used to buy into the Reed Richarda bad guy thing as a high schooler one year and I do recall even when liked the MCU/watched it fresh feeling how they wasted Klaw, Von Strucker and Mandarin/A.I.M especially. Honestly the Fantastic Four are consistently one of Marvels best characters and I still think not only have a great rogues gallery of their own but utilise guesting villains super well like The Thing palling with Sandman or gaining animosity with Wrecker over him rampaging Yancy St.

With Hank I've said in like a million threads but it'd be easy to give him a cool run where he does science adventures either small scale or even big crazy scope stuff he gets tangled into, have him fight giant monsters since that'd so easily be cool as hell to do plus give them some use again, perhaps make some semi rogue gallery transplants with some neglected villains that suit his character and maybe have him get a new love interest, my personal pick being a brought back Rita Demara since that's another character got obsessed with plus does actually conceptually for him instead of just slapping a popular heroine out of nowhere with him.

>>149930987
Faceless Hunter was an absolute menace in the show, guy also killed B'Wana Beast and was just an all around great villain. Was neat spotting his race when I binge read Geoff Johns Green Lantern years back.

It's toss up for this show. The're so many great designs from Batgirl, Black Canary, Phatom Lady, Batwoman, Firestorm and Ice. This list goes on and on. But I'll say it's between Huntress or Catwoman.
>>149930653
>>149930696
Catwoman came off real strong and sexy throughout the whole series. She also had one of the best comedy scenes with Green Arrow yelling at Batman and her for flirting. Also, as a Huntress fan it was great seeing both of them get some action in the Bird's of Prey episode.

>>149930787

That episode has one of the best gags in the series, so subtle almost nobody picks up on it.

>>149928702 (OP)
The creators genuinely loved that show and Silver Age and poured their heart and soul into it.
And it had one of the best show endings of all time.

We're frankly lucky they went with Fosthor and not Beta Ray Bill. After Korg, Groot, and Ben god knows they would have ruined too. But ultimately their sins are many and people at large dont hate these cunts enough. I cant begin to imagine how badly they'ed have retarded the likes of Molecule Man or Mangog had they gotten around to them.

>>149931057
Last reply got too long in the tooth so I'll just add this much in now.

The success of painting Reed as a villain has been disasterous for the comics. Just like any other instance of Marvel succeeding with a given idea they'll run it into the dirt and proceed to wash, rinse, repeat it until everyone's sick to death of it. Just like they did with the Old Man formula post Old Man Logan. Anyhow I agree that the FF have the greatest rogues gallery. It's just a shame that most people dont know about them because they only watch the movies. The choice to throw in a bunch of "deep cut" foes in this latest film didnt sit well with me at all btw. There's this ongoing trend in these movies of hamfisting in empty references to comic shit that goes nowhere and it leaves me feeling more jaded and disgruntled than ever before.

>"LOOK IT'S X, 'MEMBAH X?? IT'S LIKE THE COMICSSS! CONSOOOM!"

I'd also like to note Hawkeye is another character they flubbed big time. He's effectively capeshit James Bond, more so than even Nick ever was, and they pretty much just write him out of the universe. He's barely a side character across most appearances. Im surprised they never relegated him to the role of yet another quippy starlord type. Also Garrett Hedlund would have been a much better choice over Jeremy Renner.

Ditto with Hank in anycase. A solo series of TALES TO ASTONISH adventure films could have been awesome pre-2012. it makes the edgar right situation all the more depressing.

>>149932676
What I appreciate about this version of Harley is that it’s doing its own thing. It’s not trying to be BTAS, or that flanderized “quirky crazy” Harley. Remember when adaptations were allowed to take their own approach instead of being one-to-one copies of the source material, or knock-offs of another adaptation? That’s exactly why I love BATB. It was doing its own thing, and more importantly, it was genuinely good at it.

>>149930596
Batman and Superman both took decades to really come into the idea we know today because people forget they're ancient.

>>149931083
(F)

Red Tornado deserved so much better
>>149931254
100% agree. Im honestly surprised more writers dont attempt to pair her with Bruce when that was the standard for so long! Ditto on the huntress point aswell. Like Selena, Huntress feels like an actual stand alone character in BATB. They just cut all the fat from decades of bullshit revisions, retcons, etc and at the end you're left with the best version of a given character. (except for Metamorpho)

>>149932431
I dont mean to blackpill but going off generational statistics alone we'll never see that same extreme of dedication in any of these projects again. I'm not even saying the following with hatred, but I genuinely cannot imagine zoomers or gen alpha producing anything as good.

>>149933123
Yeah exactly, which makes the constant arguement over what superman "should be" all the more annoying. He's been sk many different things over the last century!

>>149933105
I dont know when that anal adherence to what came before began but I'm tired of it too. I'm all for an evergreen continuity but sometimes its nice to shake things up. Otherwise everything gets to feeling stale. In a better world Gods and Monsters and EMH would have dictated the direction the big two went in from the 2010's onwards. Instead they're both cult favorite footnotes from a time before everything became a soap box for fifth column finger-wagging browbeaters.

Quite brutal

We need shows like this more than ever

>>149933387
You aren't allowed to enjoy things. Especially not promiscuous young prostitutes.

>>149933195
EMH really feels like a time capsule of what Marvel adaptations were like before the MCU. Right at the cut-off point. It had a bit of that Iron Man 1 influence, but it was still very much its own thing.

>>149929666
You mean in the last episode when Batmite says, and I quote: "Aquaman is cool again?", Satan? I think that leaves room for Aquaman to have been cool before the likes of MTV and Seth Macfarlane made people brand him as lame.

Yeah because the culture war hadnt ruined everything yet by then

I liked it

>>149929897
No one goes to bat for The Batman. I love the show and even then I can only say that it's a mixed bag.

But it did have the better Harley origin story.

>>149933166
>For whatever reason alot of modern Superman fags are religiously beholden to this weird gay globalist iteration that came about in the 2000's, which in effect it's just a watered down version of Christopher Reeves' incarnation.

because most self proclaimed superman fans don't actually read or watch any superman related media. they just consume whatever random comic pages or movie/show clips they share among their circlejerks with other superfags while autistically screeching at snyder or injustice like it's some goddamn boogeyman.

>>149939209
I've heard fans also prefer Harley's voice in that show than the one in TAS.

As a child/teen I didn't appreciate it, but then again at the time I didn't understand as I was naturally a comic casual

>>149928702 (OP)
Good game

I liked that it was super campy most of the time only to have like three super dramatic and heavy episodes where the tone is suddenly shifted to the point you feel like you're watching a different show. The one with the Doom Patrol where they sacrifice themselves as payment for failing to save some civilians years ago, the Joe Chill episode, and the finale. Don't remember if there were any others but it definitely handled itself well. Anyways here's a dorky-looking Katana from early drafts of the show.

>>149939766
Granted I'm not the biggest Superman fan, but other than random stuff like FoS, Lex Luthor Man of Steel/The Unauthorized Biography and All Star Superman, I've read most of Byrne, the STAS comics and could probably recite many STAS episodes, the latter being one of my fave western things. How much more do I need to read until I am qualified to think Snyder and Goyer are fucking hacks and Supes has been a petri dish for people who hate him on principle and think he can only be interesting if he's subverted for the better part of a decade. When do I get my certificate.

>>149928702 (OP)
Equinox, weeper and music meister should return one day

>>149940148
The finale was kinda goofy too tho. Also bat mite is underrated i hope he shows up in peacemaker season 2

I avoided it because it came out around the whole Nolan era of Batman and I was a totally mature teenager. I’ve watched and loved it since then, teenage me was a huge faggot who couldn’t have fun. I sometimes think I like it more than Batman TAS.

>>149940161
>How much more do I need to read until I am qualified to think Snyder and Goyer are fucking hacks?
there's a worlds difference between thinking someone like snyder is a hack and thinking they're hitler/satan. most superfags tend to think the later.

>Supes has been a petri dish for people who hate him on principle and think he can only be interesting if he's subverted for the better part of a decade.
and those same people whine when you do subvert things with him. nobody knows what they want with the character in general.

>>149928702 (OP)
This show was so much fun, I loved it.

>>149928702 (OP)
didn't care for it but am happy it exists regardless, because it shows Batman works equally well as a campy joke as he does as a serious brooding Shadow clone. it means people who like different interpretations of the character can have different shows catered to them.

I love the Wonder Woman short intro so much, its like the ideal incarnation of wonder woman and how she should always be in animated form. Theyre the only ones to portray her in a Marston kind of way without being embarrassed about it or drastically altering her. Wish she was on the show more tho. Also I love all the joker episodes.

>>149930561
B&R is a genuinely good campy comedy movie, and people only hated it because they expected it to be a continuation of the Burton Batman franchise. it's essentially the 60s TV show with a Hollywood budget.

>>149944623
>what killed the dinosaurs?!

>>149929410
God I loved this episode it was funny as hell

>>149929897
Í honesty cant remember the first time I was introduced to Batman (probably from the toys) but I’m glad the DC cartoons (beyond, BTAS, BATB) were my actual introduction to Batman

>>149933146
Well as an older gen z guy, I almost want to agree. Feels like most people my age and younger consume and make stuff with very little thought behind it, or for a bigger meta reason surrounding social media trends or whatever. Hopefully more real artists pop up

Been rewatching it recently. Just rewatched the Music Meister episode and it was as good now as it was in 2009 (2009?! Fuck!).

>>149930561
Spider-Man 3 was always my guilty pleasure, it was my favorite Rami movie growing up and I would defend it like a zealot when my brother and dad constantly shat on it.

I got filtered by the artstyle and didn't give it a shot.

>>149932684
All I ever want from Marvel is to get a well written buddy cop/duo movie with Thor and Beta Ray Bill as the main characters, but we're never going to get that and Bill is going to stay in Limbo after DWJ run, but hey at least hes a playable character in the new beat em up game

I didn't appreciate it at the time, I was still coming off of Justice League Unlimited which i considered the peak of Superhero fiction (Still do in some ways) and the absolute definitive statement on how the Justice League should be portrayed.
The Brave and the Bold was very deliberately leaning away for the DCAU and I hated it for that, in my mind I just wanted more seasons of JLU.

These days I appreciate it a lot more for what it is, it's a lot of fun. Tons of great episodes.

>>149945010
Not that anon but a fellow older gen-z anon. I don't know much about my gen because I barely go on social media. Though from just looking at the state of the world, and everybody either starting to or already hunkering down on money as well as the media industries all around failing to monetize and suffering a massive decrease in artists/creatives (heuristic, but I think the lesser amount of stimulating works is evidence of that), has made everyone fearful and skeptical of going into media. I'm sure there is a lot of material to learn from and get good at any type of media but I think everyone just sees that no money is made and money is more important than ever now.

>>149939766
>>149930596
>>149930507
I feel like I see more people speaking about Superman than I actually see Superman fans saying the stuff you say they say. Yeah there a huge uptake during the Snyder movie but that was an actual talking point. Most of the rest of time it's just people shit posting battle shit.

>>149945909
Last guy you replied too their, i love superman as a character but batman fans are more willing to accept different iterations of batman then supe fans can. I prefer 2025 gunn superman to snyder but i dont discredit all of zacks work as i still heavily love batman v superman as a film.

>>149945758
>in my mind I just wanted more seasons of JLU.
Anyone sane wanted more of that, we were literally spoilt with a great cartoon coming on the back of incredible continuity from other series and a remarkably good design philosophy for DC that lasted decades. It's still sad that it was let go when it was so fucking good.

I really liked brave and the bold because it was campy Batman, I watched reruns of the original justice league in public tv and I really liked how it was both as campy as it was from time to time while being better looking and in general well done.

Again I'm one of the few people on earth that gave Loonatics a fair chance so maybe I'm just more welcoming of new shows and ideas than most but I really liked BatB from the get go.

>>149946522
Why are people who watched the movies afraid of King Superman and his awesome hat? Charging criminally high rates to save lives and acting like a king is the best form of tyranny. I liked how Brave and the Bold was upfront about the Justice Society being hardcore boomers

I put BTAS over it, but BATB was very, very good.

The ideas for the un-produced season are insane but awesome.

>>149953000
Weren't they also going to do an adaption of coyote gospel? Shame it didn't have a fourth season

>>149953000
It's old now, but I'd like to see their version of the Suicide Squad. This would still be pre-Harley takeover like the JLU episode (which is also great).

James Tucker who was the head producer of BTAB is a huge Silver Age Batman fan, so no, no one was making fun of old Batman comics, they were all nerding out, homaging the character and DC's legacy and it shows.

Funny enough commed ghostlessm to do Poison Ivy smut with the BATB henchwoman she had.
You can't say that and not post

The only flaw is that the characters are always shaded from the front, even if they're lying on their back. Aside from that it's a perfect show that lasted the perfect amount of time.

>>149932676
I like the restraint they had on using Joker. And when he is on screen he's great. I like the alternate universe version too.

>>149953000
I always enjoyed the teasers

>>149953000
Kek why does WW have dammit under it? Is it because they like her and want more of her? Or is it because she's being forced on them and they don't know what to do? I guess the former since it is only a teaser.

>>149946522
Superman for me ultimately begins & ends with Fleischer, DCAU, all star & rebirth while I accept Snyder, new 52 & MAWS as more alternate takes on the character.

I like Superman but I can't stand his fans. He's probably tied with Spider-Man for having the most crybaby fanbase in all of capeshit.

Pure kino. It was a beautiful love letter to DC's Silver Age and it was a beautiful vehicle to give B-, C- and D-tier heroes a chance to shine by having them team up with Batman, who was also a great star of the show.

It was also my first introduction to Batman as a whole as I used to watch it as a kid on Cartoon Network before bedtime. I've heard of the character and seen some of it, but most of the capeshit I interacted with prior was one of the Superman movies that aired on TV back here. BATB really made me fall in love with the idea of capeshit and how fun it can be and eventually made me delve into the DCAU and other animated DC material when I got older.

>>149929410
If there was a character that absolutely stole the show, it was Aquaman. Genuinely one of, if not, the best adaptation of the character.

>>149928702 (OP)
At the time, I felt it was unfairly maligned because people had so much love for B:TAS. Now, I feel it's unduly worshipped because people like being contrarian about the thing the generation before them enjoyed. I'm betting half the people praising the show on here have never seen more than musical clips of the Music Meister episode. Pretty much the same thing that's happened to New Vegas over on /v/. I'm an old fuck, and I remember when people fucking initially HATED New Vegas. Then 4 comes out and NV is the greatest thing in history.

I genuinely belive is one of the best dc animated projects, by the single fact it depicted how fun, campy, Wacky and imaginative comics from the golden era were, before the 70's and 80's tried to make everything dark, serious and grim, heck the coolest thing to me was how the brave and the bold perfectly made and respected how the costumes were at the time.
It made really obscure dc characters shine too, a really unexpected surprise l, because when it was released, I expected nothing from it.

Spectre is a Golden Age boomer. Sure the Hats Code won't let him murder, but that doesn't mean he can't get creative with the punishments. He's not a bleeding hart like Batman. It's like how Fawcett Billy will go full death penalty for mass murderer, reform school for Sivana.

One of the best Batman cartoons ever made. I'm kind of glad it ended when it did before it got fucked up, but the Scooby Doo movie that came out a few years ago showed they still have it, so who knows.

At first I was like "Okay, requisite musical episode, let's see how cringy this gets" and then it turned out that they actually got someone who can write and sing a damned good song, and a number of other cast members have their own talents. Drives Us Bats is fucking kino.

>Hub City or Bludhaven
The fact that both of those cities are named together tells me all I need to know.

>Crimson Avenger and Wing (Green Hornet and Kato)
This makes me wonder if they were going to not just reference how the early Crimson Avenger stories were obviously him and Wing basically being Hornet and Kato imitations, but also make them sort-of reference the 60s Green Hornet and Kato (and their crossover with Batman and Robin on the show)

That movie was a legit surprise by how good it was.

Milo's more than a mere thief, he's an extremely unethical bioengineer who routinely experiments on animals and in the DCAU was responsible for reviving fucking Doomsday.

Fleischer's Spectre was 70s, so it's Bronze Age. It was taking some influence from the early Golden Age stories but Golden Age Spectre's gruesome fates for villains was more toned-down in execution compared to the Bronze Age Flesicher/Aparo stuff (and later)

Defend Spider-Man 3. I love the Raimi movies to bits, so I'd love to hear a genuine S-Man 3 fan's take.

I believe they wanted to a musical version of Crisis on Infinite Earths.

Would have been absolute kino.

I like Rucka but in the years he was the one writing Spectre, he did a cool death only the one time with Dr. Light

The best idea The Batman had was Poison Ivy's design
Her hair as rosebuds is kino

The Silverfish joke is still one of the legitimately funniest fucking Aquaman gags I've ever seen. That was comedy gold.

I need to watch it again, it was legitimately fucking good. Good mystery, the villain is pretty easy to guess ahead of time if you know anything about Batman's rogues gallery, but there's still a few good twists that throw you for a loop regardless, and more BTaB Aquaman is always great.
They did Scooby and the Gang pretty well too, it's surprising that they still had it and while I'm glad the show ended before it could be ruined, they still had the talent to go at least another season or so.
