Why does DC hate this show so much? I just saw it last week. It's not the best, but they've made so much worse shit with Batman's name on it.

You weren’t here when it first came out dude; Yea Forums absolutely hated it due to Alfred with a gun. Funny how opinions can do a 180.
Look everyone, the big baby wants an award for being different! Someone get this big baby his big baby trophy! He's DIFFERENT! Look, look, his opinions MATTER.
Alfred's had guns before, though. The promo poster was misleading, too, since Alfred didn't literally fight crime with Batman every episode.
At least the producers poked fun at it.
It's shit.
It's kinda weird how a single promotional poster managed to sour everyone's opinions to the point that they never really gave the show a chance.
I didn't watch it either since I'm not much of a Batman fan in the first place. I'm fond of some some specific Batman villains, and I enjoy seeing Bats in team-ups with JL characters, so I'll suffer Batman if I can get those other characters alongside with him. But I understood this show didn't have the stuff that appeals to me, so I never bothered to check it out.
Yea Forums hated this? I remember Yea Forums hating the teasers but liking the actual show.
Unfortunately, it came on at random times making it hard to actually watch (like Justice League Action) and then the final episodes were dumped on Toonami.
This girl over here was flavor of the month for a short while.
>TTGo's cancelled cartoon "tribute"
You're the second person I've seen mention this, but I can't seem to find out what you're talking about. Reviewing the Teen Titans Go episode guide and searching the internet has proved fruitless.
What episode did this alleged reference to past DC cartoons happen in?
Isn't that him in this video?

Alfred with a gun didn't bother me as much as what's her face going from a stern assistant to a constantly quipping sidekick. I'm not even bothered by quips, but it just felt like a weird shift in how she had been characterized.
Also, Batman going from being barely able to touch Lady Shiva with help to beating her solo two episodes later was silly. Wasn't this an early Batman? How is he so good so early? I remember he resisted some kind of mind control thing, too.
>For them
The episode is "The Academy".
I didn't mind that much. Honestly, I never found Katana's stoic ninja girl thing to be interesting, since she was never like that in the original comics. I think Beware and Arrow were the only non-comic portrayals that gave her some actual personality.
Also, I think Shiva and the LoA just jobbed hard. Batman could never defeat Ra's in the show, and the only reason he "defeated" Deathstroke was because he fucked up and shot an explosive by accident.
it wasn't good
Better questions: Who Doesn't hate this show? And what is wrong with them?
>Alfred with a gun is bad
Since when?
Since they wanted excuses to hate the show.
People fucking DESPISED this show when it came out. There was real vitriol there.
It did some okay stuff but it's nothing really worth remembering.
Neither were Filmation Batman or Batman and Robin, but DC sure isn't ashamed of them.
I think it's just damn ugly
I didn't hate it. Deathstroke is more interesting there than anything Teen Titans ever did.
Alfred with a gun wasn't why I hated it.
I hated it because they tried so desperately to be different by using C list villains that they forgot that there's a reason those villains are C list; nobody gives a shit.
Especially when you're going to turn a character like Anarky into a poor man's Riddler anyway.
that pretty much sums up this show lmao
The joke is that they literally gave him a gun in that poster because they didn't want him to just be standing around doing nothing in that shot.
Yeah. This was honestly the closest they've ever gotten to the character as both a master planner and a genuine merc. Even then, he's got that stupid motive for hating Bruce and Alfred.
This. A huge reason people like Batman is for his villains, why the fuck would you not use the cool ones? It's stupid.
Yes, fuck them for actually trying new ideas instead of repackaging the same old shit for the 300th time.
People like you guys are why hacks like Sean Gordon Murphy are succeeding.
Wasn't there also something where like GL/YJ got canceled so this could get made?
First off,
>NEW=GOOD
is equally retarded.
They could've done BOTH. Use the famous rogues and experiment with the lesser known ones that moslty exist to die in crossover events. They chose to do exclusively the latter and then had to scramble and introduce Dent and Deathstroke as damage control.
And they didn't even do something new. They used Professor Pyg, but toned him down and made him into an environmentalist Poison Ivy knockoff. They used Anarchy, but turned him into a Joker knockoff.
What's the point of using those different characters if you're just going to end up writing them as knockoffs?
If not for Magpie this would be one of the few Batman works I got zero entertainment from
Then why make a Batman show?
No, that was just Beware getting used as a scapegoat because those two got cancelled. They were all supposed to be part of a DC Nation programming block CN was uninterested in maintaining.
>Use the famous rogues and experiment with the lesser known ones that moslty exist to die in crossover events.
That's what they did, though. Ra's was set up as early as episode five.
>They chose to do exclusively the latter and then had to scramble and introduce Dent and Deathstroke as damage control.
Are you aware of how far animation production works? By the time the Batfags were shitting their pants and spouting NOT MUH, they were probably working on the animation in the final few episodes.
>They used Professor Pyg, but toned him down and made him into an environmentalist Poison Ivy knockoff.
I hope you got mad at BTAS for turning Poison Ivy into an environmentalist when that was previously Ra's al Ghul's gimmick. Also, their whole "animal rights" thing wasn't sincere. The whole point about Pyg is that he was a sadistic murderer with a flimsy excuse. He didn't care that he almost killed the wrong people, or that he killed frogs to make explosions, or that giving Mr. Toad a furry wife had nothing to do with animal rights.
>That's what they did, though. Ra's was set up as early as episode five.
I'd still say Ras isn't as high up there as a lot of the others. Especially not when it comes to toyetics.
