Batman TAS talk

*Anarchistguy* · 04-01-2004, 05:47 PM

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

)
...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.

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.

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

*Taloniss* · 04-01-2004, 06:04 PM

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
Read my Lips
If you're so Smart, why aren't you rich?
Feat of Clay
Appointment in Crime Alley
I am the Night
Cape and Cowl Conspiracy
Night of the Ninja
Day of the Samurai
Laughing Fish
Demon's Quest
A Bullet for Bullock
X-mas with the Joker

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

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* · 04-01-2004, 06:23 PM

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.

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

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

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.

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* · 04-01-2004, 06:43 PM

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

*Anarchistguy* · 04-01-2004, 06:48 PM

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

Yeah, I guess his vocabulary was a little too advanced for some viewers.

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* · 04-01-2004, 08:12 PM

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* · 04-01-2004, 10:06 PM

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
