Omega Supreme Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 (edited) While Mike and James were reviewing the Batman: The Animated Series episode with that businessman who dresses up like a Greek god, I was surprised that Mike did not point out that when the villain shoots a lightning bolt at the Police blimp, it went down and killed all the cops in there.

Missy Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 I'd have to rewatch "Fire from Olympus," but I am curious as to how many police officers were in the blimp.Also: Welcome to the forums! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega Supreme Posted September 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Thanks!i noticed that Batman: The Animated series got the lowest rating out of all the DC Animated universe showstopper the World's Finest Podcast. I agree that Superman, Justice League, and Batman Beyond were probably brighter, funner, and more colorful shows. I'm just wondering if the DCAU shows that came after BTAS were better written, why was Batman: The Animated Series the only Emmy-award winning cartoon in the bunch.

James D. Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Probably the groundbreaking factor. The others followed in the footsteps of BTAS. Still, JL deserved at least two Emmy's.Welcome to the forums! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega Supreme Posted September 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Thank You.The 1989 Batman movie and Batman Returns spawned Batman: The Animated Series. BTAS was clearly created to capitalize on the success of the Tim Burton films. You can tell by the similarity in design (eg. the batmobile, catwoman,...) and music (ie. Danny Elfman). Also, BTAS was inspired by the dark tone of the 1989 movie and it's sequel. Those movies brought to the mainstream the dark Batman, which inspired the creation of BTAS, which spawned the DC animated universe.So, if the Tim Burton films did not happen I don't think there would have been the financial motivation to create BTAS and the DC Animated Universe would never have happened. The Keaton Batman movies created that interest in the mass market for the dark Batman. BTAS took that and ran with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega Supreme Posted September 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Is Batman: Arkham Origins a good graphic novel. I'm not into the video game. Is it worth paying $9.99? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega Supreme Posted September 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 (edited) I was surprised that the double entendre during the Metallo origin episode was not pointed out, where the woman is telling Luther how big his yacht is before Metallo arrives.

Missy Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 The fact that the producers didn't shy away from adult humor was one of the many great things about the DCAU. That said, sometimes it could be on the nose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega Supreme Posted September 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 Considering his parents were killed when he was just a little boy I feel they should have given Batman a happy ending with Andrea Beaumont in "The Mask of the Phantasm." I don't like how writers continuously screw this character over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega Supreme Posted October 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 "Superman: Unbound" is not in continuity with the DC Animated universe. The origin of Brainiac is totally different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega Supreme Posted November 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 How does a farcical episode like the "Main Man" get a 10 rating while Mask of the Phantasm only gets a 9.And is it true that Batman: The Animated series is not the greatest animated series of all time? It's Justice League Unlimited? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 I'd argue Gargoyles/Adventure Time/Reboot/Steven Universe surpass it as greatest animated series of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega Supreme Posted March 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 Can it be said Batman and Wonder Woman end up together in the DC Animated Universe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 Though they did get flirty at times, my take is that they never got together. Had they, I think something would have been said in Batman Beyond. Then again, I can see a case saying they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had they, I think something would have been said in Batman Beyond. Then again, I can see a case saying they did.When Batman went forward in time to chase Chronos, Batman Beyond became an alternate future. Old man Wayne did not remember traveling forward in time, implying that the JLU Batman and Batman Beyond Bruce Wayne are not the same person-----they belong to two different timelines, two different realities, now as a result of the time travel. The JLU Batman saw what he was going to become, and what was going to happen, so the JLU Batman split off into another timeline (eg. like in "Star Trek" the first movie of the new ones). The JLU Batman probably was effected, as any of us would be, by meeting his future self, and so decides he does not want to grow old alone and realizes he wants to marry Wonder Woman, creating an alternate reality for himself and splitting off into a new timeline separate from Batman Beyond. Thus starts another time line, another reality, an Earth 2 if you will. Edited March 14, 2016 by Omega Supreme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 The future we saw in the two-part "The Once and Future Thing" was an alternate / damaged future, not the true Batman Beyond future which is part of the main DCAU timeline. Evidence of this can be seen in The Jokerz, such as Bonk being alive and Woof's bionic arms.Also, though I respect your head-cannon that contemporary Bruce saw what he might become and changed things so he could marry Wonder Woman, there's no evidence to support that; it's supposition.

Omega Supreme Posted March 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 I think in order for Batman to appeal to a wider audience he needs to get the girl sometimes. It's frustrating having his story always be so tragic. It would be nice to see Batman get someone who's way out of his league, like Wonder Woman.

Omega Supreme Posted March 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 I'm talking about females. Girls like love stories. That's why they're attracted to Superman, because of the Lois & Clark dynamic. That show was popular among females. Give Batman a love story with Wonder Woman. Superman always gets Wonder Woman.
