Another new Batman animated TV show

most tv sucks these days, but there are some shining examples of good writing, acting, camera work, etc... we call those Deadwood and Arrested Development. Family Guy sucks ass, though...

Moderators: Batman, Zero, John Madden, Bob Ross, General Zod, Richard Simmons

Since this is the default animated Batman thread...

The latest episode of Kevin Smith's Smodcast is called "Fat Man on Batman," where Kevin talks to Paul Dini. Its a great interview that digs into Paul's career and a bunch of B:TAS stuff (of course).
Do yourself a favor and listen to it (beware of naughty language).

The episode is basically a pilot for Kelvin's upcoming Batman podcast. It takes a bit to get to it because Kevin likes to hear himself talk, but I highly recommend this episode.

In a typical knee jerk reaction to Aurora, WB announced they'll be severely editing the Batman cartoon coming out next year so that the guns will be less realistic looking and more cartoonish sci-fi guns.

Presumably, they'll also change Batman's origin so that his parents weren't shot, but probably ate some badly prepared beef. Or perhaps they died of natural causes. Fuck, maybe they aren't even dead at all. Wouldn't that be nice? After a hard day of beating up crooks with big fluffy pillows, Bruce comes home and plays Parcheesi with his mom and dad after they have grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner. Ahhh. Nice.


Fuck you, Warner Bros. Bill Finger is rolling in his grave.
And Bob Kane is getting sodomized by gremlins with barb wire penises. Like he deserves.

The new Batman show sounded shifty anyway.

I got TAS volume 3 at Best Buy for $5 with my $10 in Reward Zone points. Even at $15 its a great deal.
Now I just need volume 4.

Also, Fatman on Batman continues to be great, with mostly TAS peeps like Paul Dini, Mark Hamill (2 parts), Bruce Timm, Arleen Sorkin (Harley Quinn) and Tara Strong (Batgirl).

There was an episode of The Brave and the Bold on The Dark Knight Returns Part 2 with Batman teaming up with/battling Superman.

I watched it.

There's 20 minutes I'll never get back. Absolutely dreadful.

What's up with that new Batman series? Is that still happening? Or did WB cancel it because of the entire country's love affair with guns.

DB, you didn't at least appreciate Jimmy starting to say Superman was being a dick, and getting cut off?

Foolery, IIRC, it's replacing the successful Young Justice this fall, because Cartoon Network and WB love to cancel things at the height of their popularity.

I read they're replacing YJ with TeenTitansGO! I thought that meant they were just going to run old TTGO! episodes, but apparently their producing new episodes?! Eh, my kid'll be happy. She LOVES TTGO. Or she did. I dunno. She's about six months away from having a drivers license. Her tastes might've changed.

so apparently B:TBATB was added to netflix streaming recently. i watched the first episode with vynsane jr. this evening during dinner. it's fun. diedrich bader is a passable voice. i find it funny that the theme song sort of sounds like a parody of the song from The Incredibles.

Bader works well for this incarnation. Kinda like Adam West, but not quite so campy. I don't remember--have you watched this series before? If not, get ready to like B'wana Beast for the first time in your life.

There's a later episode ("Chill of the Night") that has come up in this thread before, and has West as Thomas Wayne, Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy as the Spectre and Phantom Stranger, Richard Moll as Two-Face, and, IIRC, Julie Newmar as Martha Wayne. It's like a lost episode of B:TAS.

You simply must watch it all in order and post thoughts here frequently. Once you get over the mix of Batman and humor (which it appears you've already done), it's the second best Batman show ever, no contest. Which is pretty high praise, considering TAS is a strong contender for the best TV show, of any sort, ever.

I can't wait until you meet Aquaman in episode #3.

Wow.

That's fucking awful. And that's not just me being predisposed to disliking it, it looks really fucking bad.
