Batman TAS talk

[Anarchistguy]

Hello,

I just saw a couple of episodes of Batman TAS. AMAZING stuff!!! I watched it as a kid but I didn't realize what a great show it was. So I was wondering which episodes were your favorites. Mine are:

-Feat of Clay (parts 1&2)
-Two face (parts 1&2)
-On leather wings (The one with the first Man-Bat)
-Heart of Steel (parts 1&2- Those robot clones are creepy as HELL :D )
...and the one where The Scarecrow uses a gaz on Batman to make him hallucinate).

man i loved batman TAS, me and host_punktmy rented mask of the phantom, man thats a good movie.

[That Matt Guy]

Oh man, me and my best friend at work used to make fun of this cartoon all of the time. We used to get on the overcom and yell stuff out in a Bruce Wayne voice, usually something like "HARVEY!" We also used to rip open Batman party vavors and throw them over the aisles at each other. I'll never forget when the Batman tablecloth flew over the shelf onto me.

But yeah, that cartoon was great. Christmas with the Joker is my favourite.

[Anarchistguy]

I'm downloading Mask of The Phantasm right now. Is it really that good?

[Taloniss]

Man, this show was great. Definetly the best incarnation of Batman next to the comics. I'm so gald we're finally going to be getting Box Sets of this series.

Favourites:

Mad Love
Over the Edge
Joker's Millions

Cape and Cowl Conspiracy
Night of the Ninja

Mask of the Phantasm is a great movie, probably the best Batman movie period.

man its really good!

[Anarchistguy]

Batman Gotham Knights counts too? Well I haven't seen a lot of episodes but my favorites are:

-Growing pains (Clayface episodes are great)
-Over The Edge
-The Demon within

I counted it. It was still the same people running it, they just upped the animation and aged the characters to their current (at the time) comic book roles, but it was still B:TAS to me. Still great too.

I used to watch that cartoon every day. I've probably seen every episode at least 3 times. The series was just so well done. I can't really think of a bad episode except for the one where the guy with the alligators used all those kids for slaves. I mean, who does that? I really wish they would bring back Batman: TAS.

[Anarchistguy]

And is the Batman/Mr.Freeze:Sub Zero movie good?

Oh...forgot to ask what you liked about this series. I ESPCIALLY liked the animation and dark tone.

[Taloniss]

And is the Batman/Mr.Freeze:Sub Zero movie good?

It's ok. It's not as good as Mask of the Phantasm, but it's better then, say, Batman & Robin.

[That Matt Guy]

I can't really think of a bad episode except for the one where the guy with the alligators used all those kids for slaves. I mean, who does that?

That episode was kind of funny. I think Batman kicked him in the face in one scene.

[MW8979]

I'm no DC fan, but that was a great show. Better then anything else DC ever put out. Joker episodes were always the best. Poison Ivy was good too, but they never made too many episodes with her. My favourite episode is probably the one where all the villains are sitting there playing cards and talking about how they almost got Batman before, and then at the end he busts them all.

[Anarchistguy]

:lol: I have that episode downloaded. It's not THAT bad. If that's the worst they did, imagine what the best eps. are.

...and the ONLY DC cartoons I watch are Batman-related. (except Justice League, that show is god awful stuff)

[That Matt Guy]

I always thought the ones with the Penguin sucked, he was too damn boring.

[Anarchistguy]

I don't remember any of the penguin episodes, so I can't give my thoughts about it.

[Relay]

I always thought the ones with the Penguin sucked, he was too damn boring.
Yeah, I guess his vocabulary was a little too advanced for some viewers.

[Taloniss]

Oh...forgot to ask what you liked about this series. I ESPCIALLY liked the animation and dark tone.

I liked the dark tone it had. It really got the 'feel' of Batman down. The writing was superb and the characterizations were really in touch with what the comics had set forth.

[Brodie]

I wished I watched more Batman: Gotham Nights, Nightwing is my favorite character, but I missed it. I used to watch the old TAS after school every day.

Also, it was hard to tell what time line it was in, the old TV sets and guns and cars made it feel like the 50's, but the gadgets seemed more futuristic.

[Anarky]

i liked the episodes where poison ivy looked like the one in my sig. hey were faster and more dynamic. and the stories: tjey were great in every season

[MW8979]

The Batman universe is basically what our world would have looked like today if the hippies didn't turn the stream of social development in another direction. Quite a sombre place Gotham city is, what with the 1930's/40's architecture everywhere.

[Hamato Yoshi]

X-mas w/The Joker is superb , I have to watch it every X-mas :D

The Underdwelllers (the 1st I ever saw , which makes it special to me , pretty good , imo)

Heart of Ice (amazing !)

Pretty Poison (remeber that ep where she had plant family mutants ?)

Remember the ep's where the Joker had an robotic clown and opened a casino ?

[Taloniss]

Remember the ep's where the Joker had an robotic clown and opened a casino ?

The Last Laugh and Joker's Wild, respectively. They were both great as well :) Anything Joker = brilliant.

[Dr. Doom]

I don't remember lots of episode names, but I'll just say I loved the series as a whole. I think they really developed the character perfectly in Justice League tho, which is kinda unfortunate, since you don't see as much of him, but they kept him as badass as he ever was while inserting a really dry, sardonic sense of humor that truly compliments him. An example was on last night. Batman confronted Shade in a wherehouse alone, and as Shade's 5 cohorts popped out and surrounded Batman, Shade commented to the effect of "I've got back up." To which Bats replied "I wish I'd though of that.......Oh wait....-=Cracks a big, patronizing smile=- I did. -=Justice league busts in to whomp some ass=-"

[That Matt Guy]

I remember one episode where Batman went undercover as a bum and got sent to work camp where he got amnesia. I remember the episode well because Alfred flew the Bat jet to the camp so he could rescue Bruce.

[Dr. Doom]

Gotta love Alfred.

[Starscream]

If You're So Smart, Why Aren't You Rich?
Sideshow
Heart of Ice (Freeze intro ep, if that's not the correct title)
The ep with the guy who's run off the road by the Joker (also the first ep with Harley in it)
The TNBA ep where Batman is exposed to Scarecrow's fear gas and becomes fearless.

[Dr. Doom]

I know Nightwing was in a couple episodes, I wish I coulda seen them.

[That Matt Guy]

Heh. Does anyone remember the Clock King and that dude who thought he was Zeus? Those episodes sucked.

[Dr. Doom]

Hell yeah I remember those. Not well enough to know if they sucked, but they probably did.

[Anonymous]

My favourites (in no order):

- Jokers Favour
- Joker's Millions
- Harlequinade
- Almost Got 'Im
- Any episode with Catwoman/Selina
- Pretty Poison
- Sins of the Father
- Girls Night Out
- Two Face (1&2)
- Heart Of Ice
- The Worlds Finest Batman/Superman movie

I love most all the episodes. That show really kicked ***.

[Taloniss]

Anyone remember the episode where the three kids are telling what they think Batman is? Legends of the Dark Knight I think was the title. That was a good episode. I loved the dig at Joel Schumacher as well:

(Paraphrased)

Joel: My dad says Batman wears tight rubber and his car can drive up walls
Kids: Shut up, Joel.

[Raven]

And is the Batman/Mr.Freeze:Sub Zero movie good?

Oh...forgot to ask what you liked about this series. I ESPCIALLY liked the animation and dark tone.

i would say its pretty good, but not great.

[That Matt Guy]

This was my favourite.

Bruce sporting the People Eyebrow.

Rember Alfreds April Fools joke?

Alfred: I've drew you a bath, sir.
Bruce: There's no water in the tub.
Alfred: <holds up a drawing of a bathtub> I said, I drew you a bath sir. April fools.
Bruce: Very funny.

[Anarky]

i am soo into that bruce timm style. i mean, that man is a genius... i said that before :D

fave ep. was the ones with clayface, the christmas episode, the one where Mr. Freeze freezes a dinner party and the ep with the clayface spawn.

[Anarchistguy]

Speaking of Clayface, did did you see the episode where he started to morph uncontrollably. That was INSANE!!!

[That Matt Guy]

Damn it, we lost a bunch of funny stuff from this thread.

[Anarky]

huh? what was lost?

[That Matt Guy]

A whole page about Batman getting beat up.

[Duke]

Wow this show was brillant. Of all the comic book shows, I can't think of one that really compares to it. The writing was brillant and the dark tone captured Batman/Bruce prefectly. The show was better before they changed it to the adventures of Batman and Robin, but it still great after that. I never saw that many eps of Batman Gotham Knights so it's hard for me to comment on it but the few eps i saw were pretty good.

[Anarchistguy]

Wow this show was brillant. Of all the comic book shows, I can't think of one that really compares to it.

Well The first year of the 90s Spider-Man cartoon was great, but apart form the Green Goblin eps., the rest sucked, as the show turned into a soap opera.

[Voltron]

Spider-man is just a little too whiney. He just can't shut up about all the things that go wrong. Instead of shrugging things off you need to hear about it for 300 issues, or 20 episodes.
