Batman: The Brave and the Bold - I don't want to hate on The Batman or anything because there was a lot of it I quite enjoyed, but a lot of that seemed like old territory that only did new things because BTAS forced it to. With TBATB, they went in their own direction and it was so unique, it's difficult to compare it to anything in the last 20 years, except when it's deliberately homaging something. You bring up several comparisons in terms of JLU characters, but neither version is correct, it's just different. You can like this Aquaman better than the DCAU one but since they're so different you can't really call one inferior. Comparing this Joker and the Ledger Joker would be an interesting study just because they're so different but a lot of them work and can define who Joker is for you

Batman: Nah, comparing different versions of characters is fun even when they aren't all that similar. It's a fun thing to do

Batman: It's fun when you use phrases like "I prefer this version because" rather than "This one is superior because".

Beetle: I like Will as the teen hero, so I'd say either Speedy, Aqualad, or even Kamandi. Not Robin, though, that would be a tad on the nose.

Fangs - "Birthmark" was great, but I also liked "Masks" and even "Go!" I consider to be serious.

Caper - The dialogue made me laugh because of it, I felt like it was intentional and that the Muppets can get away with it. Kermit going to the ad agency makes me laugh every time.

TMNT III - When I was a kid, I thought both the first and second ones were good and that the third wasn't as good because the villain was forgettable. Strangely enough, I haven't changed my opinion since. I'd have to watch the movies again, of course, but anyone saying the third was better than the second seems kind of odd. I wonder what the reasoning is.

Batman: When did I do the latter?

Beetle: None of those roles (with the possible exception of Kamandi) would have been good fits for Friedle since they've only appeared once or twice. Blue Beetle is a regular.

Fangs: Masks sucked. Predictable and unfun. I liked Go though. However it had enough superheroics and cool stuff in it to not make me think of it as a "serious" episode.

Caper: I'm almost positive the bad dialogue wasn't intentional. Not of the other Muppet movies suffered from it.
