Seeing the current series that are garbage I remembered the good series of the 90's and 00's, including the one that I watched a lot

A series that I consider very good, even though I'm not a fan of comics, but I remembered the Batman series from the 90's and This is the one that I liked the most, due to its OST, its Cyberpunk atmosphere.

The series was short-lived but it was very good in my opinion.

It’s good but Batman TAS was on a whole other level

I like Both.... But the Gadgets and their Cyberpunk atmosphere was awesome In Batman Beyond.... i wish there was more episodes.

Yes now make a video game

Yes now make a video game

There was a Game for N64



But ... SURPRISE... WAS A GARBAGE... AND WAS DEVELOPED BY UBISOFT!!!!

Couldn't really get into Beyond as the rogue's gallery was just so painfully dull.

 

[AlteredForms]

When the bar was raised so high by Batman: The Animated Series it was difficult to follow up with something superior.

It did the passing of the mantle to add youth and diversity before it was the norm. The reveal he is Bruce's kid is shit though NGL.

 

[Nester99]

I was into TAS back in the day. BB, Not so much.
Perhaps both need a current rewatch.

Really? I never watched it that closely to pick that up. Was it from Talia, Barbara, or some random woman/machine/clone tank/parallel dimension/alien?

 

[Cravis]

I enjoyed it but not nearly as much as TAS. The intro and music was fuckmazing.

The episodes that tied back to the TAS were great.

Return of the Joker directors cut was really well done IMO. Thank god WB actually released that and didn’t leave us stuck with the censored version.

 

[ClanOfNone]

Absolutely fantastic show and the tie-ins to Justice League were so cool back in the day.
As the powers that be endlessly recycle content, I look forward to its eventual reboot.

Wow, thanks dude. Ruined that one for me.

... just kidding, I don't care lol.

It was explained on the Justice League show if I remember right. Something about replacing/overwriting DNA.

i remember how edgy it was from the straight up boot

batman beyond aired first aired in the evening

 

[FunkMiller]

As a Batman fan, it shames me to admit this, but I hated Batman Beyond. Whiny teen future Batman always grated on me. Mind you, I'm one of those people who only thinks Bruce Wayne should be Batman, so not keen on any of the spin off Batmen.

Also, Robin sucks. Come at me, bro.

IIRC TAS was an actual evening prime time cartoon as well. Fucking wild what we had back in the day before reality TV took over networks.

 

[YoshiMadness]

I'm not gonna lie, I actually prefer Beyond to TAS. I realize it's probably just nostalgia speaking because I was a little kid when BB was airing, and I have a lot of nostalgia for Kids WB, but Beyond is my favorite Batman series.

But Teen Titans (the original, that is) is by far the best DC cartoon. Huge part of the reason I like Robin more than Batman.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

I waaaaay preferred Batman Beyond to "normal" Batman. That and Spiderman were the good cartoons of the late 90s according to my undeveloped brain.

 

[SafeOrAlone]

It really is an awesome cartoon. It lives up to the quality of B:TAS.

 

[Jasonadream]

Season 1 was great, however season 2 crashed and burned

 

[HoodWinked]

Batman Beyond was so damn good.

The villains were some of the most inventive so it's mindnumbing to see the post above.

Shit was pushing some really fucked up things for a kids cartoon, like human-animal-bio-engineering, the way the terrific trio storyline ends, Talia al Ghul (lol), A.I. and the Toxic Waste dude. But also the royal flush gang was fucking awesome and you gotta commend the show for not using Joker as a crutch/rehash instead invented new villains to set itself apart with the exception of the return of joker movie.

True! I’m 32 and bought the box set recently and I LOVE the show. Especially with how much Batman media has relied on the joker since The Dark Knight it’s nice to watch Batman knowing he isn’t there that when I finished season 3 and watched the movie it actually felt special to see him.

Season one had some great writing. The episode that riffed the Fantastic Four was legitimately dark rather than “dark.”

There was a real steep dip in quality in season two for some reason.

 

[Master Of Illusion]

Beyond was fucking sick. Incredible how much they let slide for a WB/CN show.

I've always felt this way too, meaning I don't like any other people in the role of batman, and I don't really like different types of batmen...if that makes sense. In my mind I always think of TAS as batman. It took a lot for me to come around to Brave and the Bold...but it grew on me. Some really good stories were in that show. Took a while but I kinda liked Beyond when I finally gave it a chance.

 

[01011001]

has anyone a clue why they changed the title of Batman Beyond to "Batman of the Future" in most of the non-english speaking world? fucking weird... they replaced an english word with an english sentence... for non english speakers... super weird.

 

[BadBurger]

I think it was very novel - producing a cartoon that took an entire generation's cartoon hero, aging him, and pretty much sidelining him while introducing a new version. Introducing kids to a next level of serialization. Beyond that premise however, and maybe this is because I watched it many years after it (and BATS) came out, its thunder was lost on me.
