Batman: The Animated Series

I hear great things about this. Is it rewatchable now? I'm a bit reluctant because it feels very childish and also the 4:3 format aint the best.

>also the 4:3 format aint the best.
terrible.

It's the best Batman media. The first season's animation isn't quite as good as season 2 onwards, but it's still highly watchable with a lot of great episodes.

It's also much less childish than almost all capeshit movies, and better written than a lot of non-capeshit movies and TV shows.

a show is just so much more immersive when it fills up the big screen

you mean when a show crops away the top and bottom part of an image?

no, just the left and right

>feels very childish
it was probably one of the most mature cartoons to ever air in a SATAM time slot

The episode that stuck out to me the most is when he went to the slave worker camp undercover but got amnesia and there was this really big fat guy that ran it and they would also do a close up of him eating some turkey leg.
Pretty sure it was one of the starting points of me being repulsed by fat people which was then reinforced by every one of their actions.

>it feels very childish
the only childish thing about is arguably the violence because batman's punches and kicks happen offscreen. even then it's usually done stylistically and there aren't any real bad stinkers until the third season.

>it feels very childish

its less childish than most capeshit films nowadays

It does feel formulaic after a while but they do a good job keeping the villains interesting. If someone pulls out a gun and starts shooting there is a 99% chance batman just counters with a batarang. At least they had bullets and not faggy laser guns.

you're just used to wider aspect ratios.
If you go a week watching stuff filmed for 4:3, when you go back to wide screen the stuff will feel cramped and squished.
There's pros and cons to both formats, with 4:3 you get more vertical stuff and it paradoxically can feel bigger.

Mr freeze episodes
Clay face two parter
Two face two parter
Robin two parter

Start with those and give up if you don’t like them

Christmas with the joker should be classic holiday kino. He even sings his version of jingle bells.

For me, it's "The Laughing Fish".

The Forgotten.

The one we’re he stalked that poor shlub who mouthed off to him in trafficand threatened to kill his family if he didn’t open a door for him. Also the very first ever appearance of generic big goon henchman #5

Joker eps are solid/fun but I don’t think they will hook anyone like the more dramatic/tragic episodes.

The two face saga fits that bill nicely. Big bad Harv.

It's even less childish than the new film kek

It's pretty funny that the Joker held the entire city hostage just to pie Batman in the face.

I mean it was for 12 year olds
so no it's not watchable

Name your favourite movie.

>it feels very childish
It's a cartoon show for kids

>also the 4:3 format aint the best
Zoomers don't deserve to live

>it’s a Batman rescues child slaves episode

Just finished that episode, A Bullet for Bullock.
Kino. Distilled, pure kino.

so is literally all capeshit

all dogs go to heaven

It's the best take on the series and where everyone's favorite version of each of the villains stems from. It has a unique art style and feel in that it feels like it takes place both in the past and the future at the same time.

It's where Harley Quinn came from and the version of her everyone likes, and many of the episodes feel genuinely tragic and do an excellent job of explaining why so often Batman wants to help the villains rather than kill them. He can see they're extremely damaged individuals but often not actually evil, like Clayface, Babydoll, Scarface and Mr. Freeze. Riddler, Clock King and Joker also have some excellent episodes.

On top of everything else the soundtrack is phenomenal.

Fucking kino

lolwat

Good reply, user.

The scenes with the giant demon above the city scared the shit out of me as a kid.
Kino stuff.
Some pedo energy in it though.

>4:3 format aint the best
>he doesn't have a 12 inch ipad pro to watch 4:3 shows in peak comfort

Great summary, user. By the way, the unique art style even has it's own name: Dark Deco.

>On top of everything else the soundtrack is phenomenal
And let's not forget about the top-notch animations. Like half dozen Asian studio worked on them.

>the new batman movie is realistic
Where are the normalfaggots getting this from? Nolan's films was realistic, The Batman wasn't.

The guy's just repeating what the director and people working on the film said.
It was marketed as a "gritty, realistic" Batman or whatever the fuck.

the score is better than most movies that come out nowadays

Everything about it is better than most modern capeshit.
Mask of Phantasm surpasses 90% of capeshit in total.

>it feels very childish
It's Batman, user.

Strangley based

I’d argue that Batman Brave & The Bold comes close but in a completely different way than this series

It's easily the best portrayal of Batman and one of the best pieces of Batman media

>does the voice casting and direction of literally all the best voiced cartoons of her era
I miss her.

4:3 is tablet kino. Well, my tab is 4:3 in landscape anyway.

>Spoiler
QRD?

where do i watch this

>what the director and people working on the film said
Provide a quote.

There's a good 1080p copy on ThePirateBay.

HBO Max
They also have pretty much every other Batman animated series and movie on there too

It's actually kino, Batman TAS and Superman TAS hold up surprisingly well and somehow I don't feel like a ridiculous manchild when I watch it like I do with other shows from my childhood, like Digimon.

Sadly Black Mask never appeared in TAS.

well, if you watched Digimon at all ever, you're just a flaming homofaggot

Ok i wasn’t expecting that…i will ignore your other stupid opinion because your favorite movie is kino

Yeah so what? Just want a bf to watch cozy shows with.

zooooooooom
