Beware The Batman caters to both kids and mostly towards grown up adults which is a very good balance, i like it's dark brooding maturity and it's humor, incredible show

Nah Batman Beyond is way better then Beware The Batman cause Terry McGinnis story is far more interesting then Bruce Wayne's story which has been done to death. It's got flying cars and the future setting is a lot better then the present. Also BB had consistently good animation, voice acting, and a very edgy tendency to push what was allowable on Saturday morning TV to the max. it's a dame shame that we never get to see Terry in college or university. 

Shadowhawk28, that's still your opinion, I used to like BB, and now Beware The Batman is refereshing to me, it gave us new villains, because giving us the same old thing like joker and penguin, something you said you never mention them, which you did in your other last post, voice acting, writing, story, and surprisingly it also caters to grown up adults

[–] ShadowHawk28 8 years ago

Yes but then i found out that Terry's story is way more interesting then Bruce Wayne. I mean come on... how many times do we have to hear about Bruce Wayne as Batman? Don't you think we should hear more about Terry McGinnis adventures? Also that show gave us new villains like Inque, Curare, Shriek, and especially Blight were all good villains instead of the old ones but even the old ones like Mr. freeze, Ras al ghul, joker, harl quinn bane were among the favorites to be brought back but other then that it showed us the daily life of Terry as he struggles to bounce between his real life and his job as Batman when he started working for Wayne. Even the writers themselves said they purposely stayed away from Batman's other rogues to avoid making it the Bruce Wayne show again since it wasn't about him. Like i said, it's a dame shame that we never get to see Terry in college or university.  I even heard the creators said that Batman beyond was influenced by Akira and Blade Runner. What was Beware the Batman influenced by?

[–] jportega-19745 8 years ago

The only thing i can think of is that is influenced by Christopher Nolan's version, but hey it may not be your cup of tea ShadowHawk, it's a fact that Beware The Batman has brilliant writing, story telling, voice acting, and it was once nominated for a Emmy Award, Beware The Batman reminds me of that similar vibe to Bruce Timm's BTAS when it premiered back in the early 90's, and those are the things i see in Beware The Batman, i like how they focused on Batman's detective skills. You know you complained that he gets beaten easily and is having a hard time, to be fair the 90's version at times have a hard time beating the villains, you see it would be boring if you make Batman too powerful like Superman, you forget that Batman is only a normal human without powers, i remember seeing Batman finally beating Magpie's ass up and even outsmarted her along with the other villains especially Ra's Al Ghul

[–] ShadowHawk28 8 years ago

Yes i know what i said before but seeing that it's just another Bruce wayne story becomes repetitive and boring. Sure they bring in other foes like Magpie, Pyg etc but it's still not as good as Batman Beyond. Terry Mcginnis's Story had a much more understanding then Beware the Batman. i like how they focused on Terry's Background and the mistakes that he makes as Batman while he has demons in his past that he has to over come and ex-friends like Charlie "Big Time" Bigelow who roped him into a life of crime at the age of 14 before Terry became Batman. Don't you think we should hear more about Terry McGinnis adventures and less about Bruce Wayne as well as seeing focused on Terry's detective skills that he should use instead of using Old man Wayne for help? Also i never said that they should make Batman too powerful like Superman so stop twisting my words. So enough of Beware the Batman and Bring back Batman Beyond. Let someone else like Terry be in charge of the Batman's Title instead.

Oh Batman Beyond also had brilliant writing, story telling, voice acting, and had a few awards too. They found away to keep the old villains in it without over doing it and it wasn't even to the point where it was similar to the old show or anything like that. Only 3 of the old villains got their day in the show was Mr. Freeze, Joker and Ra's Al Ghul in Talia's Body. Bane had a cameo as a withered old man on a life support machine And Harl Quinn Gave up her life of crime to become a grandmother to her grandkids the Dee-Dee Twins although they joined the Jokerz Gang much to her anger. The rest, nobody knows had the show lasted longer.

Oh and saying that Beware the Batman was influenced by Christopher Nolan's version is not even close. I can tell it was a mix-mash of The Batman cartoon from 2004 since they were using Nerf Guns (I mean they really did look like Nerf guns and Yes i'm aware it was done because of that 2012 Aurora shootings) and Batman: Year 1 (Gordon being at odds with Batman) and Batman: Earth 1 (Alfred being a former MI6 Agent).

Like I said before, Beware The Batman may not be your cup of tea, if you like Batman Beyond so much then go to its message board there, I happened to like Beware The Batman because I like it ok? And when you talk repetitiveness of telling the origin story well they gave out new different villains not used before from previous series and they are from the comics, look if your interested in Batman Beyond good for you that's fine, Beware The Batman good for me, I find everything in it interesting

[–] ShadowHawk28 8 years ago

Not as interesting as Batman Beyond no matter what you say.  Beware the Batman can never top Batman Beyond. Besides you are just a minority and the fans i have spoken to say they would prefer Batman Beyond then any other batman show.

[–] jportega-19745 8 years ago

And I said it before and I'll say it again, i prefer Beware The Batman better over Teen Titans especially Batman Beyond

[–] ShadowHawk28 8 years ago

And I'll say this again, YOU are still a minority compared to fans who prefer Batman Beyond over Beware the Batman. Batman Beyond may not be your cup of tea, but Terry Mcginnis story is way more interesting then Bruce Wayne No matter what you say because i have every solid evidence to show why it's superior then Beware the Batman. End of Story. Also Don't post twice FYI.

[–] jportega-19745 8 years ago

And no ShadowHawk, NOT every fans agree with you about Batman Beyond, every fans have different tastes, you are just one lousy pathetic whiny fan, expecting a different, fresh Batman show to give you something different, and that's what Beware The Batman actually did just that you moron who I sense you are forcing your opinions in their throats. You know, half of the majority of fans that some I talked to, said they love Beware The Batman, the voice acting from the cast especially Anthony Ruivivar as Batman, Bruce Wayne and surprisingly Thomas Wayne, is incredible and talented, the clever writing and brilliant story, and that it focuses primarily on Batman's detective skills which I love that they are doing in that arc. So I'm going to say this for one last time, I love Beware The Batman, it's to me better than Teen Titans and Batman Beyond, it's my opinion and i am NOT going to change my mind. Anything else to say?! If someone else agrees with you, I would say, I don't care, I disagree with you also. Period. End of Story.

[–] ShadowHawk28 8 years ago

NO jportega-19745 because you're not going to win this argument. NOT every fan agrees with you about Beware the Batman. You know, half of the majority of fans that I have talked to, said they love Batman Beyond over Beware the Batman on youtube, the voice acting from the cast especially Will Friedle as Batman, Terry McGinnis, is incredible and talented over Anthony Ruivivar who couldn't hold a candle to either of them, the clever writing and brilliant story, and that it focuses primarily on Terry's hardship under Old man Wayne trying to prove what it takes to be a hero and the mistakes along the way which I love that they are doing in that arc. Infact Fans said they want that show back with a few changes like Getting rid of the "oh it turns out he's your son" crap. So I'm going to say this for one last time, I love Batman Beyond, it's to me better than Teen Titans and Beware the Batman, it's my opinion and I am NOT going to change my mind either. Anything else to say?! If someone else agrees with you, I would say, I don't care, I disagree with you also. Period. I'm glad Beware the batman was canned because i believe someone was not a fan of this show and did a favor of putting it out so it doesn't matter how much you love this show or Anthony Ruivivar as Batman because wont make a difference. Nothing is gonna bring this show back unless you plan to storming down the network station and forceing the people to bring it back. End of Story as well.

[–] jportega-19745 8 years ago

ShadowHawk, it doesn't matter if you don't agree with me, and you did not win this argument either, you really are trying to win this argument and it seems to me you keep on repeating what I say so that you can win an argument, as I said before not everyone agrees with Batman Beyond being the best, to you but not to me, Beware The Batman is, it's because selfish fans like you were the reasons why it got canned, some like me are pissed when it was pulled off, because others like you didn't give it a chance, and it seems like your forcing your opinion on everyone's throat, Anything I got to say? Yes I do, What about you and your Reverse Psychology in response to repeating my replies? Keep it up and I still won't change my mind, End of Story? No? You want to keep continuing this or simply ignore me? We could keep going on and on.....

[–] ShadowHawk28 8 years ago

I think you misunderstand, as I said before not everyone agrees with beware the batman being the best either so stop trying to talk down about batman Beyond. Batman Beyond Was pulled off the Air after 3 seasons before it could even progress much like your "precious" beware The Batman. So i KNOW what i'm talking about. I wished that show had lasted longer because they only scratched the surface on it and i heard it was cancelled in favor of that The Batman cartoon from 2004 so all i got in the end was a lousy sh!tty DNA science ending epilogue in JLU that literally destroyed the mask of zorro angle to finish batman Beyond. So it doesn't matter how much you love beware the batman or Anthony Ruivivar as Batman because wont make a difference. Nothing is gonna bring this show back unless you plan to storming down the network station and force the people to bring it back. Cause all you are doing is just proclaiming love to a dead show that no one really cares anymore just like Batman beyond.

[–] jportega-19745 8 years ago

I don't know if the studios will listen to us if we protest bringing the show back, because sometimes the company is stubborn to lend their ears to what our complaints are, besides there is nothing wrong with loving the show even if it gets canned, no one cares about it? I do and so others who still care about Beware The Batman, and you say that I should stop talking down on Batman Beyond, when I said before multiple times, that I respect your opinion you like that show, why can't you do the same by NOT talking down on what I like this is a Beware The Batman board, and I'm baffled by your last sentence that nobody cares about Batman Beyond, in which clearly you do, every Batman show is different except Batman Beyond is different new territory when it takes place in the future, I used to love that show because of Batman's ability to go invisible and jet flying, and this is a long time ago like Spider-Unlimited, I'm open to those shows that intrigued me, and now I moved on loving this new incarnation Beware The Batman because it brought back what Batman was meant to be dark and gritty, focused on his brilliant detective skills and not someone who is kiddy friendly, after seeing a few episodes I began appreciating it, same thing when theirs nothing wrong liking both the original and remake, take note that not all remakes are bad, I have the right to like both versions.

[–] ShadowHawk28 8 years ago

fine i'll stop talking down about you liking Beware the batman, Happy? You may have the right to like both versions but it still doesn't change the fact that Beware the Batman won't come back ever. Yes it brought back the dark and gritty, focused on his brilliant detective skills and so on but it won't make a difference since this show is gone and not coming back. I like batman Beyond but it doesn't mean that the show gonna come back since it's long gone as well. I also noticed that the posts for this board is slowly being deleted since nobody other then you is talking about this show.

To be quite honest i would like to see Two-Face rob stuff during the day to give to charity because Two-Face is suppose to be not really the two evils. I mean Bruce/Batman said he fears Two-Face more then any of his foes and it's something the writers don't seem to acknowledge threw out the years. Now that would be something new that has NEVER been shown on TV for Batman. And the proper respect Two-Face deserves. don't you agree?

[–] ortega_juanpaolo 8 years ago

All right fair enough, but we can still cherish these series in our hearts even though they are not coming back, as for Two-Face, well I got to say, he seems to be hostile towards Batman before he became Two-Face, unlike Gordon, who's now an alley of Batman after saving his daughter, Two-Face is still having a grudge on Batman

[–] ShadowHawk28 8 years ago

But there was no reason for Dent to be hostile towards Batman. There has to be a reason for him to be hostile and not because Batman is a vigilante. As i said, there wasn't much explanation about Dent in the first place in this show when he was brought in. Whether he had problems or not, he was just some random character thrown in who dispite being saved by Batman was an ungrateful bastard. I mean if Dent lost a sister or someone close to him then THAT would have been understandable but to go out of his way to make Batman look bad for no reason at all is very out of character so he's got no one to blame but himself for his own stupidity which resulted the scarred face that he hides behind those bandages. That's why this one of my pet peeve for this show "lack of character development".

I know Two-Face better then these chump writers since they didn't have a clue on what they were doing AND should have had me on their team to consult.

[–] ortega_juanpaolo 8 years ago

I admit, that was the only thing that bothered me, I was wondering what is Harvey Dent's problem with Batman? James Gordon's was understandable, since cops in real life won't tolerate vigilantism. As for Harvey Dent his attitude reminds me of J. Jonah Jameson, probably jealous because Batman's brilliant detective skills have thwarted and dealt the villains, that's the only motivation I can think of, he goes to extreme lengths to make alliance with the villains in order to get Batman

[–] ShadowHawk28 8 years ago

If that's the writers idea to have Dent be jealous of Batman's brilliant detective skills then they are idiots. It ruins the concept of the character itself. I mean Dent is suppose to be a good guy gone bad, NOT a bad guy gone worse. Making alliances with criminals before becoming Two-Face is indeed out of character cause Dent is not the type to side with scumbags. Dent is supposed to process the criminals that Batman brings in before becoming Two-Face so who's the moron that came up with that idea? And i really don't care that they were trying to be different, i prefer Dent to remain the way he is and NEVER changed at all in terms of character like Being friends with bruce/batman and not being rivals before becoming Two-Face.

[–] ortega_juanpaolo 8 years ago

That was the only problem I noticed, he's Harvey Dent not J. Jonah Jameson, even when he is rescued by Batman, he still shows resentment and embarrassed by it, I remember reading in one episode, they were forced to team up but have different motives

[–] ShadowHawk28 8 years ago

What episode where they were forced to team up but have different motives was that? Still i thought Dent would have changed his mind after being saved by Batman but noooooo.... The stupid writers HAD to continue making him as the arrogant ass hole that he is. Like i said, the writers really bombed on the whole no explanation to why Dent is hostile towards Batman when he was brought in.
