Wish I could've been in a cinema in x-mas '93 and seen it

[Whatswiththeheadbands?]

Oh man. That film. That film is a perfect example of a Batman movie. It loses to Batman 1989(only just though)

Ah Batman: TAS, always showing every itteration of the franchise how it's done in every aspect, from series to movies

[CyberCubed]

B:TAS is the holy gospel and has never been topped. Although Brave and the Bold was a fun lighthearted take on the franchise.

The Batman was very uneven and a flawed show, and Beware just bombed entirely. Also compared to movies of the movies and comics, B:TAS is a better universe.

I think we could get a show that tops B:TAS someday, but until it happens all other Batman incarnations have come up short.

I re-watched BTAS in the mid 2000's and loved every episode of it even more than as a kid I think. Oddly enough when I re-watched MOP, which I absolutely loved as a kid, I actually found myself a bit underwhelmed. Maybe I hyped myself because I remember loving it and I had been enjoying the series more than as a kid I thought it would blow my mind but I don't know.

I think enough time has passed for me to re-watch the DCAU again starting with BTAS, it's been almost a decade, I believe I started re-watching it when the first BTAS dvd's season sets started coming out in 2004 and finished around 2007 when the last of the JLU/BB DVDs came out. I wonder how well it'll hold up or if I'll be slightly disappointed. I loved all the shows as I watched them but maybe I'm holding them to really high standards, the fact that the internet considers it godly doesn't help. Not to mention that since the last time I watched it I've seen many other Batman/DC cartoons/interpretations which I've liked. Sure maybe The Batman wasn't better but some of the DCU movies have been pretty good as was Young Justice. Who knows when I'll start watching it since it's so many episodes and I just don't have the time not to mention I have plenty of other shows that I'd like to check out that I've never seen to be watching a cartoon I've seen plenty of times.

My favorite DCAU movie is actually Return of the Joker. The Batman: TAS side story in the middle explaining Joker's kidnapping of Tim Drake was some of the best that series had, and I love the turn-about Terry pulled on Joker, psychologically taunting him much like Joker did Batman years eariler.

I'm currently rewatching the DCAU. Only shows I don't watch is Static shock but I do watch the 7 crossover episodes. I love the Batman Beyond crossover with Terry in Static Shock.

Also Teen Titans and Young Justice were the two best DC shows not part if the DCAU. After that Brave and the Bold was fun but I recommend not watching the rest of DC's shows from the 2000's.

Man the crossover episodes were easily some of the worst episodes SS had, I watched through most of the show when it aired on CN in 2005/6 I think, I ended up missing a few episodes here and there but for the most part I watched the whole series. The tone of the show is very different from the DCAU, it's more umm.."real" and lighthearted, I don't know how to explain it. The show often gets bashed because it's not like the rest of the DCAU, but it's different not bad and has a nice ending. It does have plenty of mediocre episodes but you end up liking Static and his friends, and watching the show makes his appearance in JLU seem epic that he indeed became this legendary figure.

Do you plan on watching The Zeta Project? I've always wanted to watch it but have never been able to find it online. I only ever caught two episodes on tv, one was fairly mediocre and the other one was very good. Hope to be able to see it somehow in the future. It also has two crossovers with Batman Beyond.

Well TT arguably tried to be part of the DCAU, fans just never accepted it even with word of god that it was the intention. With that said I prefer to put it in The Batman's continuity, the Robins match up perfectly. And I'm one of the few who actually really enjoyed The Batman, but then again when I saw it I never compared it to BTAS.

Legion of Superheroes is another post-DCAU show and it was pretty good, I recommend it if you're a fan of superheroes in general, it's not a classic but worth a watch. I only watched the first 4 episodes of Green Lantern, the show was alright just nothing special, I'll probably try to watch it one of these days. Beware the Batman gave me the same feeling as GL though I only watched 2 episodes, funny how we all talk like the show is cancelled even though technically it isn't.

I did like the Batman Beyond crossover but you're right the eps are mediocre. Static Shock in general didn't really have good writing, it was the typical kids superhero show that then became part of the DCAU for no reason. There's a reason Static Shock was never released to DVD, the show wasn't popular enough.

I saw all of The Zeta Project, its only a 26 episode series so it was decent for what it was. Although what gave them the idea to give a spinoff to a robot character from one ep of Batman Beyond I'll never know. I wish we got a Nightwing spinoff instead.

The Batman had really hit or miss episodes from Seasons 1-3. It didn't get good till Season 4 and the last season went back to being hit or miss. Sadly The Batman was basically a toyetic Batman show with dumbed down villains. That's all it was.

Beware is actually canceled so the 26 episodes they have is all its going to get. The writing staff already confirmed to be moving on and no Season 2 is in production. So whenever CN finally airs the remainder of the show that's all its getting.

Reading the title, 20 years, man. You think they'd finally do a Blu-ray release with proper quality buy now, but NOOOO!

[Hamato Yoshi]

Supposedly BTAS is not coming to blu , this is cuz they'll prolly remove all the grain on the film stock and then the image would look plain and dull , you'd no longer have that gritty look.
