Christmas with the Joker, just for the Jingle Bells Batman Song. Joker and Ra's al Ghul are my Favorites.
Almost Got ‘Im
Mr Freeze or Joker
lol this bitch nigga got one itis ands playin with dolls
Yea Forums thread
the joker flying away on the christmas tree was pure kino
The trial episode and Christmas with the Joker.
Mad Hatter
Mr. Freeze: wants revenge for his dead wife, has a suit that gives him he strength of 10 men, says revenge is a dish best served cold
Khan: Wants revenge for his dead wife, had the strength of 10 men, says revenge is a dish best served cold
I always liked this one
batman tripping out is entertaining
it will always be almost got em, joker is hard to beat but after those two my favorite episode and villain is the one with baby doll. that ending....
Mr Freeze is my favorite Batman villain.
Fuck, it's scary to think how well made and written this kid's show was back in the 90's. I mean compare it with a modern show and you'd think that modern kids have -15 IQ on them.
I guess BTAS stood out due to it's actual mature themes and it's probably why it's still so popular to this day.
I still, to this day, wake up from a dream/nightmare whenever I pick up a book and try to read it because I get a flashback to the episode when the Mad Hatter put Bruce in the dream world, and he realizes he is in a dream when he tries to read a book in it.
>it's always night in Gotham
>everyone has tans as if they were North Africans
kek
So in the Timm timeline whatever happened to Nora? Did bruce ever help save her? Was she mentioned in batman beyond or the JLU epilogues?
for me? it's the poison ivy episodes
>jump ahead to batman beyond Mr Freeze episode
>but you'll die!
>believe me, you're the only one who cares
I think got cured but she saw that freeze became a monster and wanted nothing to do with him. plus at that point he became a head walking on spider legs
He had a kino arc ending in Arkham Knight too.
batman beyond was way more kino then I deserved as a kid. the final revelation with the phantasm was amazing.
The baby doll Episode was amazing. Batman, a man denied his childhood and baby doll, a girl denied her adulthood.
Her ending line where she says she didn't mean to while crying and batman standing over her. That just goes straight for the feels
>that one episode where she keeps a guy in a tank for his semen
youtube.com
That was a perfect ending, shame they regressed the character in the New Adventures.
gave me *chills* bros
"Remember, there might be some momentary discomfort."
I don't really have anything to add, I just wanted an excuse to post this for once.
I really liked The Man Who Killed Batman. It's pretty amusing to see such a crazy world thru the perspective of a poor schlub like Sid The Squid.
seriously which one of the writers were raped? her breaking down was so intense. how did the cartoons end up being more human than the movies?
beware the gray ghost is great
There was a episode where a local driver apparently shitalked joker while driving and then joker proceeds to terrorize him. Joker pretty much pulls a godfather move on him saying that one day he may need his services
KHAAAAAAAAAAAN
Anyone liked that Clayface episode?
The first one?
Sneed
I want batman to be happy aaaaaagh!
That episode was great. The grey ghost was actually voiced by Adam West the og batman. The voice actor relates with the character because in the episode, the grey ghost is a struggling actor trying to make ends meet because no one wants to hire him because he was only remembered for one famous role and Adam West had to deal with a issue like that.
yeah jokers favor was the first episode they made(not aired) with the joker and introduces harley quinn
>that episode where mr. freeze doesn’t have a plan and just wants to make it snow for nora
Heart of Ice, or Robin's Reckoning
Ra's Al Ghul
It is something else on how Batman the Animated Series got everything so right when Batman Forever and especially Batman and Robin got everything so wrong. Hell, Batman and Robin killed the series until Nolan took over.
>Could it be it had a soul Alfred? A soul of silicon but a soul nonetheless.
I really miss PG Harley, now all we literally get is "CHOKE ME DADDY" Broken Skank Harley. She was really cute as a Flapper in Brave and The Bold.
Unfortunate.
Because Bruce Timm and Paul Dini just straight up got the appeal of Batman. Honestly wish the WB Suits had trusted them enough to just let them take over the Tim Burton universe. Now they're both older and probably don't want all that pressure but man it could have been really good.
We still have the Timmverse which was great. Justice League Unlimited is severely underrated.
New Adventures seemed to regress everybody in both story and design (though I guess I like how Two-Face's mentality keeps shattering even further).
No offense dude, but there's 20+ Alita and Brie threads - all those need to be quarenteened to Yea Forums.
ONE Batman Animated Series thread is fine.
My favorite is that one where Batman is chasing Killer Croc and he has to hide in a circus with otres freaks, he brefriends a half-seal boy, and even is considering live with the others as a family but then Batman finds them, they start fighting and ruin everything for the Croc.
>black babies as slave bodyguards
I never knew Ivy was so based
is it just one guy making all these edits? Art style is similar in most of these.
Not to mention all the threads that should be in /pol/
Burton deserves credit for BTAS. The series was modeled after his Art Deco Gotham and noir Batman ‘89. Shirley Welker modeled her fantastic score off Elfman’s.
Penguin had fine taste in women.
I always think that if the dark knight had been released back in the 90s under the animated series anesthetics but retained the original Nolan story line and dark themes. It might have been considered one of the greatest animated films of all time
Why? Aliya is an anime, Yea Forums dosen’t even want the live action threads
The Brave and the Bold is so underrated, Diedrich Bader has one of my favorite Batman voices (even if it's just his usual deep voice) and the episode with Joker being the main protagonist and teaming up with that wimpy villain is kino.
Fuck Clayface man
The two parter? Are you kidding me, that was fucking classic.
I know a lot of talk gets thrown around about sympathetic villains, but some dude disfigured in a car accident too prideful to be ugly gets hooked on the miracle cure like it's a drug and is forced to commit crimes to get his next fix all the while having a gay romance with his stunt double = kino.
Is it true you can't read any text in dreams properly?
I wish I could lucid dream so I could try this out.
kill yourself faggot. this is the only good thread on Yea Forums at the moment and everything else is falseflags and subhuman arguments over the most retarded shit. go be a cancerous rulesfag over there
>"It's Never Too Late"
Not sure I had a favorite per say, maybe Riddler but that was cause he was my fave in the Adam West show.
But I do have one I hated: Catwoman. All her episodes SUCKED. Still dislike her in everything to this day, even the Arkham games.
Scared you, didn't I?
That episode was all sorts of fucked up. I don't think there's any other comparison to such body horror in a kid's cartoon.
I actually had a dream recently where I read my brother's obituary in a newspaper, word by word. That said, I have highly lucid dreams and really think there's something to not being able to read in dreams.
I loved Mr. Freeze. I wish they had done a serious version of him in the movie, instead of just a costumed idiot.
Post Harley
I know you most certainly can read signs in a dream. But yeah you would need some incredibly detailed brain power to actually dream a book and see words appear.
Remember that Dreams are pretty short, 5 to 45 minutes if you can even remember them. You usually don't go in your dream and open a book.
Beware the Gray Ghost
It's true, they wanted it more kid friendly, it was a decision from the corporate

>So it wasn't all for nothing.
Damn. Modern boys won't get anything like that these days. Instead they will get a bunch of feminist bullshit and porn addiction.
Every fucking episode of the original run was fucking kino. Clayface was my personal favorite.
I don't care for the late 90s restyling
What a shame.
Na.
Because of this episode, I pay attention to if I read anything while dreaming. I can't speak for others, but I can still read things in my dreams.
About the only thing that Batman and Robin got was right was Poison Ivy. Bane as a brainless thug, Mr. Freeze as a wisecracking supervillian (Arnold had NO businees being cast as him), and WB execs interfering with the sole intention as using the movie as marketing ploy for their toy line took whatever chance this film had and flushed it.. The only good that came of it was a total reboot of Batman in the Nolan movies and a real apology from Joel Schumacher.
There was a lot of heart in this episode from the staff.
Bruce Timm even wrote himself in as the episode's villain.
Where can I download the intro/title posters of each chapter??
Dammit you are going to make me re watch the animated series aren't you.
>I don't care for the late 90s restyling
No one does, they clearly did it for the sake of budget cuts. There's still some great episodes in there.
I thought Earthmover was the spookiest episode.
kino.
Which episode is this?
So they're rebooting Batman. Why doesn't anybody have any faith that they can get the villain right?
Maybe I'm just speaking for myself, but in my gut I'll know they'll fuck it up. They could go with Freeze, Clayface, or Riddler. Hell, I'll even take Hush.
But instead we're gonna get Ras Al Ghul, Two Face, or Josh Gad as the Penguin. They'll want a diverse cast so it'll probably be a black Catwoman or Asian Hugo Strange.
Baby-Doll
You should.
One of my favorite scenes both in terms of emotion and artistry:
youtube.com
The restyling in the late 90s came from the expansion of the DCAU (Superman, Batman Beyond, Justice League, JLU, etc.) in which they needed to drastically streamline the animation to cut down on production costs. White the visual aesthetics took a hit, the storytelling was still kino.
>tarantino probably watches this movie every now and then to fap to uma
youtube.com
"A soul of silicon, but a soul nonetheless."
Either Baby-Doll or Mad hatter
>Batman made out with Talia but it was actually Ras possessing her body.
Gay or nah?
literally all of them

"I had a bad day once, too."
Gonna sound weird, but Man-Bat was one of my faves (because it was the first Batman ep I watched). I creamed my shorts when he popped up in Arkham Knight and they did him justice with the sad origin.
I'd check in on him at the police station and he was always in shambles, "What have I done?! I don't remember!!"
Damn 90s Animation was so good.

I just remember an episode where Batman gets really pissed off and yells "GOT IT?" at somebody. Can anybody help
That was a comic, senpai.

In the commentary for Heart of Ice they talk about the animation studio Spectrum. It was formed by some guys that left TMS. They ended up going bankrupt because they kept going way beyond what was called for. For example they just had to draw an outline for Mr. Freeze's helmet. However one of them hand painted the frost effect on every single animation frame.
It was the last decade of hand drawn animation before digital design took over.
I believe Mission Hill was the last show that used the hand drawn cell animation technique in 1999. The fluidity of animation got lost after that.
goddamn that show had some good music
youtube.com
It wasn't all bad.

>"Do you know what I'd given for a death scene like this?

I recommend watching the whole Batman: Arkham Knight edited as a movie:
youtube.com
The opening scene was amazing and a homage to the John Dee diner scene from The Sandman Vol. 1.
youtube.com
Yeah the Fluidity and the Lightning took a major hit with the move to digital. Even when DC does something more serious like adapting major classic Comic Books they just don't compare to hand drawn.
Compare this to youtube.com
>They ended up going bankrupt because they kept going way beyond what was called for.
sad that we live in a world where greatness is punished
Meanwhile Teen Titans Go gets another 15 seasons, animation is dead.
>Showdown
A kino Ra's Al Ghul episode.
Best thread on Yea Forums
Didn't Ed, Edd n Eddy use it too?
I love that they managed to get Jonah Hex his own episode on the show, it's such a random cameo but they pulled it off perfectly (plus the bit with R'as al Ghul's son is depressing).
>Starting with Ed, Edd n Eddy's Jingle Jingle Jangle in 2004, the series switched to digital ink and paint.
I can't say when the last use of cel animation definitively ended. But pretty much everything today is all digitally animated or at least aided.
why do they keep changing Dr Freezers backstory? it went from like being his half dead lover to him obsessing with a randomly cryogenically frozen woman like an incel
I actually do that sometimes. Instead of playing a game, just watch the cutscreen films bros do online (Injustice 1&2, Mortal Kombat, etc).
And yeah, I think I will do that when I get home as opposed to playing 50+ tank battles to see it. Though I'm pissed how they set up Hush in Arkham City and made him an afterthought in Arkham Knight where he would have fit in the story seamlessly.
Any other games that make great films from cutscenes?

Ah, that would explain why the animation looked so different with the later school season.
Honestly I wasn't a big fan of that fifth season but the final movie was an excellent send-off for the series.
why did they only make one episode for season 6?
>tfw watched this entire cartoon and there were only like 5 good episodes
The rest were standard cartoon nonsense or extremely fucking boring. My god was this Batman one of the most boring versions I have ever seen.
Based Alitacuck
The MGS series does a pretty good job with that (though in my opinion an MGS movie could never work because the fun of the characters really pops out from the gameplay and all the little hidden goodies).
Paul Dini got mugged, he said it influenced how he wrote the show. That's probably it.
Are you implying hot cartoon waifus don't lead to porn addiction, on Yea Forums of all places?
>Injustice 1&2
Same here. Watched both of them, then read the comics (where were not bad). Kinda goes into the ethos that action halts plot movement, so if you minimize the action (gameplay) then you're left with the story; which turns out to be well written.
Honestly, I've only seen the Arkham Knight and Injustice movies as well. I'm sure there's other edits of games with good stories out there. These felt like a continuation of the spirit of the DCAU from the 90s (especially since they had the original voice cast).
Wish I could recommend more.
>can't stop making cold-related quips even when he's talking to his dead wife
obviously wasn't as good as mask of the phantasm but I enjoyed it
every scene was drawn on black paper to keep the show dark.
I have no clue.
I don't think so.
Well that may be your opinion but I couldn't disagree more. Maybe I am biased because I remember seeing them in high school but I think they are great.
>tfw no animated series or game with the artstyle and tone of The Long Halloween and Dark Victory
Feels bad man, I really love the mystery in these books.
Time to watch the show again now that it is on blu ray. What do you think about Batman Beyond is it a worthy followup?
sneed
Long Halloween is getting adapted as an animated movie soon. Just hope its good and not Killing Joke tier.
Same could be said about the similar transition comics underwent. Everything is glossy but at the cost of soul.
He's literally in the credits my dude and always mentioned as inspiration by the creators. He gets his dues. The anime (Akira especially) influences are rarely brought up though
That animation is kino.
On Leather Wings is the greatest episode of anything ever.
Are you forgetting the parts where the family realizes that croc is a terrible person?
I like that they got the guy from Bladerunner to play the maker of H.A.R.D.A.C.
Beware the #MeTooer
Mission Hill. Absolutely based.
>tfw jeph loeb wrote commando
>trips confirms
Fun fact, a friend of mine has a blog where he reviews movies and tv shows etc for fun. He went through EVERY episode of BtAS and had the same conclusion: all the catwoman episodes were varying degrees of ass
Yes it's worth a watch, the cyberpunk aesthetic got me into Blade Runner and other shit when I was younger.
Also they have a shitload of brutal fates for its characters.
Batman beyond is amazing, definitely worth watching.
Fuck I almost forgot how bad the animation in that was, how did they manage to fuck that up so badly after bringing back Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy?
I hate how much inspiration the animators took from the recolored version of that story.
i will then
Holy shit how did I never notice this before?
>favorite episode
Beware the gray ghost, hands down. Had that perfect amount of lore, fun, good music and meta nods
>favorite villain
Clay face, but it's a close tie with Scarecrow, even if they were both jobbers
Catwoman in general is kind of a boring character to be honest
That was a great one
lies
Fuck that was a great one
Has anyone bought this blu ray set for the series?
I kind of want to get it since it's way cheaper than the deluxe version and doesn't have those retarded funko pop figures, wasn't sure if they changed anything with it.
Joker's Last Laugh.
I love her character concept, in the sense of her serving as the femme fatale in a sense to Bruce, where they both play a dangerous game when it comes to one another due to knowing each others identity and the very noir style detective loving a criminal aspect, but damn do her episodes tend to suck.
Her design in the cartoon is the best it ever was, that said. Gray Suit with a whip is more cool than her goggles look nowadays
I have the entire series on dvd so I haven't really felt the need to get it
also I think since all the episodes were drawn for the 4:3 format it has black bars on the sides and that always triggers my autism but some people don't mind that
What episode was this? I can't remember it.

Lost my shit last time I rewatched the series. Couldn't believe it was real.
This series had some of the greatest reactions of all time.

That Amy episode.
Was that the one with the guy from Bladerunner?
Yes
you can but it's takes 2 seconds before everything turns into a mess and you can't read anything
Big O Season 3 never ever, meanwhile adult swim make 2 new seasons of FLCL that nobody asked for.
Tfw you throw viewers off with your speech and make them confused with the ending
>meanwhile adult swim make 2 new seasons of FLCL
Hold the phone, when this happen? How would you even contribute it, it was a full story and the main chick fucked off to space
it still blows my mind how such an absolute kino series exists and how it was wasted on a kids' cartoon.
Who?
Same goes for JLU and even Superman the Animated Series sometimes
>the scene where lex luthor saves the world from amazo
Writers in the 90s and early 2000s were given free reign to do good shit apparently.
Also, does anyone know how good young justice season 3 is? 1 and 2 were great.
>wasted
I disagree. Thanks to it being a kid's show it taught me to judge and consider what makes a good show or story that sticks with you at a very early age. It gave me respect for how things tied together in a whole package to make it rise head and shoulders above other entertainment. It's really good basics and building blocks for youths
you might have misunderstood me, it's still a good show no matter the "genre" or format but in my opinion it didn't receive the recognition it deserves because most people immediately dismiss it because of that.

Let's not say things we can't take back here.
"Epilogue" was a high watermark.
Forgot Batman Beyond, man.
Nah
There are some really low valleys for sure. For some reason everyone forgets about those episodes...
>that episode when Penguin goes legit, finds a waifu, defends her from ruffians
>but is abused by the elite of society, who the waifu is from, causing him to attack them and go back to Arkham Asylum
I genuinely felt sad for Penguin here, and the episode is kino.
That sucks
> Please, Oswald, if it's money you want I can get you more!
>Shut up! All I wanted from you, deary, was a little friendship. That would have cost you nothing, but now you'll pay!
There was a strong and definitive tonal shift a couple episodes into season 2 of beyond. It's almost two different shows. It went from serious and relatively dark to childish and silly. I can't remember the episode exactly but an eagle eyed viewer will catch it.
>JLU
>Soulless
Booster Gold episode, Epilogue, Lex/Darkseid, The Question
Beyond > BTAS
He even takes her to see Pagliacci and sings along with it.
It had one childish episode (and it's great, actually), but most other stuff is pretty edgy still. Even if it's isn't as mature and dark as season 1.
You're wrong but you're entitled to your opinion bro!
Is this available in any streaming platform or do I have to get a torrent?
Only saw a few but that show was kino
Used to be on Amazon Prime, but I don't think it's there anymore.
You can watch all the episodes on dailymotion. Just gotta search for them.
dailymotion.com
BTAS is still on Amazon prime
The DVDs for each season are pretty cheap.
It's the best representation of Batman and the villains around.
>he doesnt have it
Pulled into center of the earth guy was fucked up.
He would eventually die of no food you'd hope
BTAS was indeed legit kino. Mask of the Phantasm is still a legit contender for best Bat/comic movie made.
It blows my mind that we haven't seen another Batman show that tried to do the neo-noir style.
Return of the Joker > Phantasm
>This is how I'll always remember you. Surrounded by winter. Forever young. Forever beautiful. Rest well, my love. The monster who took you from me will soon learn that revenge is a dish best served cold.
This wasn't from that episode.
>I failed you. I wish there were another way for me to say it. I cannot. I can only beg your forgiveness, and pray you hear me somehow, someplace... someplace where a warm hand waits for mine.
correction
it was from the episode but not that scene.

>all talking about the times they almost got Batman
>Croc- "I threw a rock at em' once."
>everyone just fucking stares at him

Is it easier to write Batman than other superheroes or do writers just put in more effort when writing him?
he's literally named Irve Kleinman :D :D :D
i think because batman is about as grounded in reality as you can get with superheroes, its easier to write gripping stories because you're usually dealing with human people with human emotions and faults.
everyone can relate to stories of loss, rejection, confusion about one's identity. most every 'bad guy' in batman are just people reacting to one of those emotions in their own way. i imagine that writers pull from their own experiences to tell these stories, which is why they seem better.
>wasted
Wrong
Really love the Batgirl two parter and the Robin two parter
Burton's catwoman is pretty interesting if you ask me. A depressed woman starts living her life recklessly after almost getting killed.
New VA ruined Harley
That was nothing like the Diner scene in Sandman.
They knew
>mfw at the end of the episode they reveal Killer Croc was Batman in an extra mask the entire time
>That other episode with Croc where he tried to crush Batman with a rock.
patrician taste
that's a really big rock
Gross, second-hand joker semen probably touched Batman's lips. I wonder if it locked his muscles into a smile for like a few days or something.
Everyone who worked or follows entertainment from Hollywood knew about Harvey.
JINGLE BELLS BATMAN SMELLS
ROBIN LAID AN EGG
The most kino episodes were the ones where the villains team up
Batman is a human and has issues that most people can relate to one way or the other. Also if you notice, most of his villains save for big ones are just normal humans as well. So its easy to write stories for stuff that COULD mostly exist in your life as well.

You can "read" in dreams, and if you're a lucid dreamer, one of the dead giveaways that you're dreaming is by reading the same thing twice - it will never be the same twice through. That said, I put read in quotations because you're not actually reading. It's a facsimile. All of it is inside your head, with images your brain conjures up, so no real reading occurs.
