It is the greatest Batman movie ever made.

But it is the greatest Batman movie ever made. Everyone knows Batman TAS is the quintesential Batman. There is literally no live action adaptation that fully grasp what Gotham and therefore Batman and the Joker are.

where can i watch it

the problem is all you would see would be Luke Skywalker in makeup. That's why I think he made the right call to stick to voice acting for the most part. He's pretty damn good at it too.

Because it's inferior to a few episodes of the series.

Agreed its a masterpiece its like 80 minutes and says everthing it needs to

Adam West batman was also a 10/10 adaptation of silver age batman.

Phantasm, Dark Knight Returns, Under the red hood, I think year one wasn't bad either. The entire animated show. I'm not a big fan of Batman Beyond but the movie Return of the Joker was not too bad. Also that Mister Freeze movie was good. Also the four Batman/Superman team up episodes from the Superman show.

Buy a copy, unless you think you're a bad enough dude to pirate.

I always felt that Mask of the Phantasm had serious pacing issues and was overall kind of lackluster in themes and ideas.

You could argue that's true, but the the action, the atmosphere, the dialogue, the audio-visual presentation are all excellent.

When will we see this in a live-action film?

Its not a Batman movie.
Its a Bruce Wayne movie.

Why not? From the start the creative team approached it as a movie rather than a glorified episode, and the results speak for themselves.

Man it has really been a while since they released a good Batman movie. All those animated ones lately were garbage.

"Bruce Wayne is an act, Batman is the real identity" is the worst idea ever associated with the character.

Bullshit. That's what makes the animated series so much better than the life action movies. Conroy was the only one who put on a Bruce Wayne voice when the character was out in public. The "Batman voice" was just the way he would normally talk in private with Alfred or Robin(s).

Jesus.... I've read some shitty hot takes before, but you didn't have to squirt piping hot diarrhea all over the place to try and be an edgy teen.

>that episode of batman beyond where bruce knows he's not crazy because the voice in his head calls him "bruce" instead of "batman"

In that order

This user is right, I forgot the Batman/Superman World’s Finest movie

I would put that at number 2 or 3

Paul Dino and Bruce Tom always worked on the idea that both were an act of sorts. Batman is only really himself when he’s in private with someone who knows he is Batman and Bruce Wayne and the same is true for Superman (only really himself when back home in Smallville with the Kents)

When he’s Batman he has to act more tough and intense than he is and not show his weaknesses (like when he’s like shit I can’t fogure this out let me bounce ideas off of you Alfred and we’ll look stuff up on the Batcomputer) he has to appear to be this Demi-god that’s always on point and always in control. He also can’t just be like “lol I’ll throw money at this non vigilante issue because I’m rich” like he does occasionally too.

Yeah, it sucked compared to the comic. That's part of the point Moore was trying to make with Watchmen, show that there are somethings that comics do better than movies

Bruce Timm has as big a boner for the Joker as Paul Dini does for Zatanna but since Joker sells no one calls him on it.

While one of the best takes on the Jason Todd revival story it was an incredibly lackluster let down when I realized that’s what they were doing. I was hoping it would be original or some kind of riff on the Black Hand/3 Knights of Batman thing

Batman Beyond needs a new series or movies, it was so damn good

It does but unless they gave Paul Dini complete creative control it would probably be shit. They honestly need to just let him write a live action movie

>If this was a live action movie, it would be considered the greatest Batman movie ever made. But because it was a cartoon its generally forgotten or dismissed as not being a real Batman movie.

OP, no, if the Batman Arkham Origins cut scene animated movie was done live action THAT would be the best Batman movie ever made!!!FACT!!! youtu.be/dy1Y0WcvRCA

>It does but unless they gave Paul Dini complete creative control it would probably be shit
Truth.

the end taking place in the rundown world of the future themepark was really in your face but absolute kino at the same time??

They should have hired Paul Dini and Bruce Timm to develop a script for a 5th Batman movie for 1999 with a different Director. I would have hired George Miller, mostly known for Mad Max, but mainly because he Diected the Terror at 20,000 Feet segment of the Twilight Zone movie in 1983 as well as The Witches Of Eastwick. Make Scarecrow and Killer Croc the baddies, set it during Halloween and it could have been great!!!FACT!!!

It's full of cliches, and the animation is poor in several parts, even compared to TAS.
TAS has several episodes that are better too.

which TAS episodes would you say are better? i remember the mad bomber one being really good as a kid, might revist some of them

Almost all of the DC animated movies are 100% better than any live action movie they have ever made.

And their animated tv shows make the live action ones look like poor jokes. Not that they needed any help.

What I liked about mask of phantasm is that its the reason why he decides to commit to being batman 100%.

>a live action movie

That's one that comes to mind, Perchance to Dream is another

You're being memed on everything else
Watch all of the animated series, new and beyond for peak animated Batman. If you want to branch out superman animated justice league animated and justice league unlimited but skip the Batman beyond ep of unlimited

Since this has become the animated Batman general, I just want to put it out there, this was really good and erryone seems to be sleeping on it.

Batman: The Brave and the Bold is right behind Batman TAS. Give the show a shot if you haven't already.

Of the more serious ones that would work well as a movie:
Heart of Ice
Beware the Gray Ghost
Feat of Clay
Perchance to Dream
Over the Edge

I still cry when Bruce is looking at the Batmobile prototype at the fair of tomorrow and Andrea asks him if they'll really live in a bright and shiny future

That's not even the worst part. We could've had this really stylish and trippy adaptation of The Killing Joke with all the original colors, and instead we get this stiff garbage shoved in. If it was in literally any other movie I wouldn't be as mad.

A fucking toy commercial did it better 30 years ago

>Almost all of the DC animated movies are 100% better than any live action movie they have ever made.

I am amazed at how this still rings true even though the quality of the DC animated universe has greatly decreased and is not even a shadow of it´s former glory. I mean, Mask of the Phantasm is actually a great movie. Not only is true to everything that Batman is suposed to be but i has a good plot/ mystery with great character development and a self contained origin story that goes full circle.

I agree, really bizarre stuff
off-putting really

this is great, although I don't like the look of the turtles

It would've been pure cringe if it had been a live action movie. A lot of stuff that works in cartoons doesn't translate well or at all to live action. Even Marvel, as embarrassing films as those are, know when to leave the goofiest aspects out.

Nerds only want live action adaptations to their cartoons so they don't feel as embarrassed watching them or talking about them to their normie friends. Just own up to liking good cartoon movies and stop trying to get live action remakes done of everything to justify liking them.

Unironically that was always the point of the justice league.
You trick people into buying the book for batman and superman and hope a little bit of prestige rubs off on matter-eater-lad and hawkman.

/x/ the character

It would be if they were allowed to use Batman rogues. Because of the ongoing show The Batman, they were contractually forbidden so as to not confuse retarded kids.
That and how badly they fucked up with "Epilogue"

The thing is you could adapt watchmen to a movie, but you have to adapt the concept and not the story.
Just like the comic was a lampoon of comics-at-that-point a movie should look at capeshit in film, and re contextualize everything to subvert the genre using the medium of film to its fullest.
The black pearl wouldn't be a comic book in this adaptation would be a horror-western movie.
Have fake commercials and news magazines (think robocop) to do those end-cap in-universe exposition dumps from the comic in a different way to help inform and build the world.
The new frontiersman would be Not-Alex Jones.
Its the thing with adaptation that Jordorowsky talked about, if you want to make something good and interesting you can't be so beholden to source material that it holds you back. Make it your own take on the work that can stand on its own instead of using comic panels as the story board.

KINO Liam Neeson carried Batman Begins

.....I thought it was hot.

I am of the opinion that Batman Begins is the best Nolan Batman film. It's the most faithful to the comics. TDK is a gangster flick and Bale as Batman is the weakest element of the film, and if Batman is the weakest part of a Batman film, you have failed your objective. If you remove Batman from the film and have the focus be on Gordon instead, it would work just as well.

TDKR is hot garbage and deserved the meme ripping it received.

It's a great movie but not as great as everyone says. Definitely not as great as you say. I love animation and I love Batman but you may as well just watch the animated series. It had lots of great stories, many of which were better than Phantasm.

I unironicallly liked it
Begins > Dark Knight > Dark Knight Rises tho

I liked Rises more for how much of a mess it is.
It's given me so many laughs.

I genuinely couldn't believe what a mess it was when I did get around to watching it. I was all on board but I left it disappointed and kind of pissed off.

TDKR is a mess but I kind of admire it for its ambition. Nolan clearly never had a strong idea for the third movie after Ledger's death so he just went to the wall with it and did as much crazy stuff as he could with his budget

I knew is was going to be shit when the opening scene leaked.

Nothing about the plane hijacking makes any fucking sense, and I love every second of it.

I really loved how it finally gave Bruce a happy ending away rom Batman, most of the time he ends up alone without friends and everyone hating him, or dead.
I also really like Tom Hardy as an actor.

The climb scene is great btw

I watched it recently and some of the scenes made me tear up. Kevin Conroy is the definitive batman, and the animated series is the best batman media out there.

youtube.com/watch?v=-4Q-MS_oFkw

A lot of Bane's motives and speeches feel like they were reworked from some idea Nolan had for Joker.
Putting the entire city into chaos like that just seems like something Heath's Joker would do, not Bane. Then he had to write in the League of Shadows for it to make any goddamn sense.

Wow Alfreds reaction was really good, now I want to watch this movie

Like that shitty Lion King remake.

It's really good, like most things related to TAS are.
