I raise a glass to that, friend. Who cut onions in here?!?!?! :((

00Beast

@0BradyM0Bondfanatic7: Cheers, my friend! There is only one Batman the Animated Series. As for the onions, we can blame the cartoon makers of today's world, who just lack the creative and original juices of the brilliant minds like Bruce Timm, Paul Dini, Alan Burnett, and Eric Radomski who went before.

It will likely be the greatest cartoon to ever hit the small screen for sure. I got this great book on it when I was in this mesmerizing comics/graphic novel shop that is all about the series with concept drawings, interviews, and galleries:

A excellent piece of work for Batman fans of the series.

When I saw it on the shelf in the shop I said "oh, now @00Beast has to have this!". I love what I have seen so far, and love one of the foldouts that shows the episode titles for each episode of the original run.

00Beast

@0Brady: Thanks for thinking of me! Hahaha. And yes, I love that page with the fold-out. That was my guide to the episodes before I got around to actually looking at the back and realizing there was a full list including airdates for the original BTAS and the updated TNBA.

I am re-watching all the TNBA on YouTube, but I will use that as a guide too when I go back to the original early 90s episodes. I wonder if they are all on YouTube. Do you know if they are out on Blu-ray?

Tim Riggins, Caped Crusader?
Christian Bale’s former online publicist and producing partner Harrison Cheung says in a new interview he’s heard Taylor Kitsch’s (“Battleship”) name come up in regards to possibly playing the next Batman.

With the way John Carter went, I don't see it happening. They will pick someone bankable, a household name. Kitsch is still small fry.

One of the many things that urks me about Batman & Robin is that it had sunlight deflecting satellites. Flash forward 5 years and Die Another Day has the same Sunlight deflecting satellite maguffin. ~X( Joel Schumacher and Lee Tamahori must be related.

That's the stuff that irks you? Hahaha. That's small fish my friend. And Schumie and Tammy are only bonded by their lack of filmmaking prowess. May their deaths be slow and extremely painful.

Tamahori I don't think is that bad. The Edge was a pretty good film, and I thought The Devils Double was brilliant. I think alot of blame for DAD has to go to the writers.

Schumaucher is evil and I want Tim Burton and Chris Nolan to beat the sh*t out of him.

earth one was very good I liked it. I felt the birthday boy was the best new villian this year.

New52 Batman is great, you should really pick up the whole run (its only been out a year (12 issues so far) and has the first seven issues collected in a tpb)
Scott Snyder writes an awesome Batman, gritty, gothic and actionpacked!

oo7

how about the superman run?

Sorry it too me so long to answer this, school recently started back and I was a little busy what with the new year and all that. Anyway, I do not believe so. I have all four volumes which include all 85 BTAS episodes and all 24(?) TNBA episodes, but these are all on DVD. I believe they sell the first one at Target and Wal-Mart right now, but the others are harder to find now that they've been released for a while. Any used video/CD store should carry them though.

0BradyM0Bondfanatic7

Thanks, and I think I found something you would like. The director Kevin Smith does a podcast you can find on iTunes for free called "Fatman on Batman". In it he talks fully about Batman, and interviews influential people that helped make Batman the best hero ever, like Paul Dini, Bruce Timm, Mark Hamill, Tara Strong, Kevin Conroy, and so many more awesome people. The conversations are great, and you get an inside look on each of their own lives, and also how the animated series formed straight from the mouths of the people that made it what it is. Being the big Batman animated series fan that you are, I know you'll love them. It is so cool to hear Mark cackle as Joker, Tara do a sultry Barbara, and Kevin a powerful Batman. If you go to iTunes and search Fatman on Batman or just Kevin Smith you should find it easy.

Oh wow! Look what I found on theRPF.com! I hope the new suit looks similar to this:



What a cool idea! The Avenger's Cap suit may have looked silly, but turn it into Batman and I think we've really got something!

Virage

The upper part of the Captin Batman suit looks great. But the belt looks horrible.

Risico007

agreed

Master_Dahark

Oh that's still Captain America's belt, with a different color. I agree Batman would need something else

Batman & Batman Returns are high art in the world of comic-inspired movies.
Nolan's films are high concept, but that's about it IMO. Good for what they attempted, but not the ingeniously twisted ride that Burton's films are.

By "ingeniously twisted ride" do you mean an utterly repulsive representation of the greatest comic book hero of all time along with the cadres of villains that fill his world until you end each film asking "was this supposed to be a Batman film?" If so, then yes, the Burton Batman films are that. I'll stick with Nolan, who actually read the comics and knows what Batman should and shouldn't do down to the point that he was able to construct the best comic book films we've seen yet. Burton doesn't read the comics, and Batman and Batman Returns make that so very evident.
