Plot bunnies of a DC sort

So since I can't find my pictures of the Chinese wedding I went to this weekend, I figured I'd do a post about Batman instead. Because why not? Now with edit.

( Nananananana... Batman! )

Sorry Young Justice was still vastly disappointing. I haven't seen any of it myself so I can't say much for it. ^^;;

BUT BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES MUST ALWAYS BE PRAISED.

Seriously, for a show where no one ever died...

...Really? I thought there was at least one character that died...one of the Robins I thought...

What about Bruce's parents though?

I always want more Alfred. All the time. More Alfred all the time. Alfred is my favorite. 0_0 Alfreeeeeeeed. And yes sickfic do want.

I think what makes the Batman villains so effective is that they actually act as "shadows" of sorts to the hero--that is, each one of them explores a dark facet of Batman's psyche (or is a representation of something that he could have potentially become himself, like alternate possibilities) that he must fight against. It's a lot different from the boring way of doing villains, which is essentially going "ah well, do they want to rule the world/have money or do they want revenge?" Granted, some of the Batman villains do a bit of that, but ( ... )

The animated series must always be praised. Joker was probably the one thing Nolan verse did right, but as good as that Joker was, Mark Hamill is still the best at the part ( ... )

I remember the old 90s cartoon! What I liked about it was the animation itself. Everyone was sort of flat, and slightly stylized. It was as if someone took the old 60s style of comic, and updated it a bit for the 90s. I really didn't care much for the storylines, I kept thinking they could be a bit stronger ( ... )

See, I loved the plot lines of the 90s cartoon. They were very episodic, it's true, and that does come with some downsides, but they had some pretty strong episodes and did a lot of great things with it. And that's not just nostalgia talking either. I think I gained a much greater appreciation of it rewatching it recently. XD ( ... )
