question abotu the batman TAS and superman..

[Turtledude2k3]

With the release of Justice League season 1 boxset coming out very soon, I am curious about the Batman The Animated Series and Superman the animated series.

Should I go and buy all 4 volume of batman the animated series and super man season 1 and 2?

Well...have you watched them before? Did you enjoy them? It's great that you are so interested in these cartoons. But you gotta ask yourself is it worth it to myself to buy them and would I enjoy them. They are definitely worth the money but think about it before you make such a huge purchase.

Ok as a loyal fan of all these shows. I would strongly suggest YES. Because Batman:TAS (The entire series plus Batman:TNAS) and Superman:TAS all are connected to Justice League. Before Bats & Sups joined the JL they did their thing in their own cities.So their adventures lead up to the JL.Plus alot of plots in JL are connected to Batmas TAS or Superman:TAS.

Like for an example there is an episode where Superman holds a grudge on Darkside (Did I spell it wrong?) even though the League tells him to let it go.Only Batman knows why Sups is so ticked off. If you watch the last 2 episodes of the Superman:TAS then you'll better understand this Justice League episode.

Any sane animation fan NEEDS to buy these box sets

Batman: TAS changed the way superheroes were portrayed, and still stand now as the greatest DC cartoon ever created, everything that JL and JLU carry, would not have been made solid if those series had not put Timm, Dini, and Ramdoski on the map, and therfore they would not have created Superman, JL, Teen Titans. Any of it.

So many immortal episodes emerged from that run, "Heart Of Ice", needs no explanation "On leather Wings", "The Demon Quest", "The Man Who Killed Batman", "Jokers' Favour" "Two Face", "Mad Love" "Appointment In Crime Alley"

...Mask Of The Fracken Phantasm.

...And despite my great love and affection for Greg...Batman absolutley pwned Gargoyles.

HEheheh yeah wat I just said Great minds still think alike I see But like I said above.you HAVE to buy them.I'm ordering you!

well I am a huge fan of Justice league cartoon and fell in love with it when it first aired as well as Justice league unlimted..

I watched many of the episodes of Batman the animted series on foxkids long ago.

Um I saw the batman mask of the phantasm or whatever ti was called. I saw batman beyond..

So um I was just wondering if the dvds are good.

[Doppleganger]

Are you talking about the Batman Beyond movie "Return of the Joker". My GOD if anything get that. Truly dark material (very disturbing) in there that will leave you cold.

[Turtledude2k3]

I am talking about the whole batman beyond series.. Yes even the uncut batman beyond.. I hear it got a uncut version to see Joker tortue Robin!

The uncut version is the only variation that airs in the UK, even in the mournings at times

...Seriously, Batman Begins? Gay compared to ROTJ.

Batman Beyonds' entire run is worth it, as long as you pretend that moronic sidekick of his does'nt exist

[Dr. Doom]

I'm not only offended by your use of the word gay to describe inferiority, but I'm also morally outraged at the apparent belittling of Batman Begins. I can't really comment on the behalf of Return Of The Joker, I don't recall it very well, but personally I have my doubts that comparing the two would acheive anything, as they are both there to accomplish something different, and I suppose I wanted to express the aforementioned(sp?) outrage.

Joke.

Deal

And before you start, several of my freinds are gay and dont' nearly act as snippy around those comments. They chortle. Straights often take more offense to it now than they do.

but I'm also morally outraged at the apparent belittling of Batman Begins. I can't really comment on the behalf of Return Of The Joker, I don't recall it very well, but personally I have my doubts that comparing the two would acheive anything, as they are both there to accomplish something different, and I suppose I wanted to express the aforementioned(sp?) outrage.

I also happen to love Batman Begins personally, but feel its' inferior even to the first Burton movie. Its' good in terms of redeeming the character theatriclly, but something tells me the addition of more familiar ground in the sequels will rise the next two above this. This existed purly to get DC on the map and give Batman cinematic testicles again, in that regard its' glorious and solid in its' own right. Just not, and never will be the Bruce Timm material. Neither are the first two movies by Burton as a matter of fact, but that does not mean I consider them inferior.

[Dr. Doom]

That's not a joke, it's a bad habit that most of society seems to share.

And who says I wasn't joking? Is it really that easy to ignore all the posts I've made with green font and assume I have no sense of humor?

The casting of Michael Keaton in the first two movies sorta ruins them for me. I can't look at him and see Bruce Wayne at all.

[Turtledude2k3]

Boy this topic sure has changed from the dvds I was talking about.

I happen to enjoy Batman begins and I conisder it myf avorite batman movie. the original batman the one tim burton made is the 2nd favorite followed by batman returns.

Batman and Robin the last of the batman movies ebfore Batman begins was the worse of them all.

Even the batman 60's movie is better than that crap. no offense..

...No offense, but I find that one better than Begins on the scale of sheer hilarity. If you really think that film was supposed to be serious, rewatch it again knowing it was always supposed to be an intepretation of the Batman comics of that time.

Gotta admit I really REALLy enjoyed that little snippet they had in "Legends of the Dark Knight". Nice little homage to the friendlier and more humourous times of Batman. They even did the handshake. XD
