The Batman Fourth Season News
http://legionsofgotham.proboards70.c...3802306&page=1
Oracle, Nightwing, Harley, Matt Hagen Clayface, Brandon Rough voicing Everywhere Man, Kevin Conroy voicing Dick Grayson's father etc... ...Wow, either Capizzi took those crticisms of "Braniac Attacks" to heart or he's seriously trying to redeem this show |
Some of that sounds pretty interesting. Thank god Dini is writing the Harley introduction episode. It'll be interesting to see how they play her relationship with the Joker, seeing as how Kevin Michael Richardson plays such a different angle with the characters voice (which I like). I'll tune in, maybe give the show its 5th or 6th chance.
|
Still hate the show, but Harley is enough to get me to watch out of sheer curiousity. Kenvin Conroy voicing an extra bothers me though.
|
Harley looks cool, love the huge hat things.
Future Freeze looks cool. Nightwing looks too big...Looks too buff. But has the very thin waist. Im not sure how I feel about the hair... |
All these characters look pretty nice, but where's Two-Face? I guess my favorite villain won't be appearing on the cartoon anytime soon. :ohwell: I'm giving this show a chance even though I've only seen one episode.

Nightwing?! Wait a darn second here... Didn't Robin just become his sidekick?? Oh.. I see they're doing some stuff in the future. Superman is Everywhere Man? WTF is Everywhere Man??? But.. Martian Manhunter and Harley Quinn!! WOOT!! :D |

Wait! Wait! Wait! Back up. Back up.
Spoiler:
This sounds kind of interesting if they are going to introduce Spoiler:
Harley Quinn?! Really?! Okay probably still not enough to make me watch this show but it has me intrigued. |

There are apperantly eps that will be set in the future...hence the Oracle and Nightwing references. |

Yeah it was in the killing joke, Barbara was shot in the spine (um I think....) by the joker.

"My sentaments exactly, Dudley!" The Batgirl seems like a long line of "We have to have a positive female role model on every boy's cartoon, and make girls' cartoon stars vacuuous bimbos" which I ranted about on another post somewhere before. She's basically a grown up, Caucasian version of Jade from jackie Chan Adventures and little else. I have hope these episodes will get better, and I like how the original Batman TAS voice actor at least has a cameo. All and all I'm still not a huge fan of the show, but sometimes it's pretty good. |
And we got an episode guide
Spoiler:
|
They all sound pretty interresting, though 44 is definately an unoriginal concept...especially after the "Plant Zombies" episode last season.
|
Oh yeah! I've been waiting to see what Harley looks like for "The Batman". It actually sort of looks like a doodle I did after seeing the end of Season 2. I know this show has potential, and some of its episodes have proved worth the horrid Season 1 (With the exception of the two-part Clayface episode.) I mean, until I saw The Big Chill, I have never heard so many bad ice puns in one episode. Still, episodes like Strange Minds and The Laughing Bat showed true potential. Besides, the new Robin design makes me happy since it looks almost identical to the design from Teen Titans. So...yeah, a staisfied fangirl here. Well, at least until we see an episode from this new season ;)
|
When was season 3? Is season 4 the upcoming season, or will that be a year later? I'm confused.

I thought that was the second season
|
It's now been confirmed that Allyson Mack (Chloe from Smallville) will guest star in the "Everywhere Man" episode, which also features Brandon Routh as the voice of the character
|
There is no amount of fan service that could get me to watch this.
|
I've been watching tons of TAS for the last couple of days and now I'm pretty sure that I don't want to see "The Batman" ever again. I might check out the Dracula movie though.
|
One episode of the fourth season is'nt exactly "Appointment In Crime Alley", but it's better than Legion of Titans.
|
I don't like the kid they got to voice Robin.... Scott Menville needs to leave "Scooby and Shaggy: Get A Clue" and come back to voicing Robin... I hate Scott's Shaggy voice too...he sounds like Robin with a cold or something... meh :P
|
Quote:
I've noticed that in recent episodes, they DID manage to turn the series around. It's actually ENJOYABLE now. |
Ijust find it humorous that Red Herring is now the voice of Shaggy.
And to further derail the topic, as much as I like Menville...c'mon, there are MUCH better Shaggy imitators out there. Billy West, Scott Innes and Tom Kenny have all proven they can do excellent impersonations (though West was my favorite of all the Kasem fill-ins). It was great getting one last hurrah out of Kasem, though. Even if "Scooby Doo, Pirates Ahoy!" wasn't exactly the best note to leave on. |
It's official, not only is The Batman good again, it puts any desparaging comments about it's quality to absolute undeniable shame by putting out epsiodes that match or even top Batman: TAS.
The fourth season is everything the series should have been from the beggining, no longer funny lovy duffy JCA stunts and heroics with Batgirl, episodes like "Strange New World" (with one of the best plot twists ever written) "Artifacts" and "Seconds" are some of the most daring episodes ever attempted, at least since TMNT was putting out it's darkest episodes prior to Fast Forward. I mean..."Seconds" is by far the most shocking, whilst it's premise does easily pave the way open for a cliched ending, it stil makes Superman turning the world back seem like a picnic waltz. Spoiler:
Regardless of how infrequent the quality of the seasons are, season two of The Batman is awesome, and it's quite pleasing to now say that the fourth has ensured that was'nt a one off hiccup of greatness. |
Oh yes! One VERY satified fan girl here! *dances* "Seconds" sounds very dramatic and angsty, just the way Batman should be. I mean, it's not like the live action show; grab some crooks and a guy who has a very campy sense of dress, beat them up, then they get thrown into the slamer. This definately sounds like it's coming closer to the standards the Animated Series left us with :D *scampers off to find an episode of "Seconds" she can view*

CN is currently in the middle of season 2. So I won't be able to see season 4 for another...7 years...
Harley and Nightwing? This season is going to be sweet...unless they ruin both characters, much like they ruined everyone else. Although Joker isn't totally ruined, like I said in another topic, no one can replace Mark Hamill's Joker. Kevin Conrey...get rid of the current Batman voice and have Kevin replace him dammit! EDIT: Actually, I just leaned UPN and WB merged, and since I had UPN, I have the WB now! ^.^ Finally. And I checked TV Listings, and I can get The Batman ^^ So, whats this on, Season 3? |
Quote:
As for "ruining other characters", their versions of Clayface and The Riddler are better than any previous interpretation. Period. |
Yeah I forgot about Clayface. He is pretty much the best character devolped in this show. And Joker turning a major season 1 character into Clayface was pretty dark imo. Actually gave me a reason to like this Joker.
I haven't seen Riddler yet. |
Quote:
I know this is, what, the third time he's written it (BTAS, "Harley Quin" graphic novel for the regular DCU and now this one); fourth if you count that he wrote the "Mad Love" issue of Batman Adventures before adapting it for the television series. Any particular differences this time around? |
Quote:
|
What about her outfit? What did she look like? Pretty much all of these villians had new looks, so I'm curious on how she looks.
|
Practically the same.
|
Quote:
Is the whole "spousal abuse" thing still present between them? |
Maybe Harley beats Joker this time?
|
Quote:
And the ending is pretty much how "Mad Love" ends...in a manner befitting "The Batman" |
Looks like some cool stuff. Saw the Robin ep already. Guess I'll have to make more of an effort to catch this show more regularly.
