Very inferior to The Animated Series.


Apparently this is also Bruce Timm's favorite, says a lot actually, he always rubbed me the wrong way, seems like a major ass hole.

I agree..outside from the great epsiodes like Mad love, Over the edge, Growing pains and Old wounds, and the fact that it was nice to see Dick becomingh Nightwing, everything else about this series..Tim Drake is a weak mixture of Jason Todd and cb Drake, Barbara is also boring, Freeze story ended perfectly with Subzero, but they ruined it here, i don't care about anyone in this season, except for Harvey and baby Doll, still feel bad for them..

Funny you mentioned Harvey. My least favorite episode of it was the Judge where Two Face develops a 3rd personality in his head.

reply

Not a good epsiode, but for some reason, i felt sorry for Harvey even more after that epsiode..i always had a soft spot for him..one of my favorite thing about the show is realthionship betwen him and Bruce..

Absolutely. Timm is a joke who likes hyperactive ADD Looney Tunes style of cartoons that becomes juvenile patter. I guess we clearly had Eric Radomski to thank for the more realistic and leisurely paced BTAS. I love cartoons like King of the Hill or anime where the pace is super slowed down like irl- it makes the contrast that people bothered to animate it, more humanistic.

I've never watched the original batman animated series. Is it worth it?
