Grabbed Seasons 1 and 2 today, getting the final season tomorrow probably. Forgot how good this show turned out. A lot of people bitch about the second season, but its not THAT bad. I need to get the fox batman animated shows too, those sets look ace.

fox Batman? The Batman? because I like that, when I'm up early enough on weekend mornings.

Vizzys · « **Reply #4 on:** April 18, 2007, 12:54:44 AM »

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #5 on:** April 18, 2007, 12:55:34 AM »

Batman Beyond rocked cause it still had Wayne as a cranky ol bastard that could still kick the fuck outta teenagers.

I spend a good two minutes trying to figure out how to spell it. At least someone got it.

The thing I liked was that the voice actor who played Batman in the other animated series came back and did the voice here too. That's what Batman sounds like to me. Hell one of the few complaints I had about Batman Begins was the whole cookie monster voice Bale used when he had the mask on.

That show was pretty awesome for the most part. I prefered the Batman TAS but it was still great. Damn those were the days...waking up every Saturday knowing your ass would be kicked by awesome episodes of Batman, Superman, X-Men, etc

im glad I wasnt the only one who thought batmans evil voice in begins was cheesy/hilarious

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #8 on:** April 18, 2007, 01:13:30 AM »

TAS I think is still the more consistantly good of the two, but some of the Beyond Episodes stomped anything in TAS. Meltdown being one of them. Poor Mr Freeze. Then again both series got great movies 'Mask of the Phantasm' and Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker.

Vizzys · « **Reply #9 on:** April 18, 2007, 01:14:38 AM »

I saw return of the joker, it was pretty good.

and of course I have mask of the phantasm on VHS

Madrun Badrun · « **Reply #10 on:** April 18, 2007, 01:14:39 AM »

both those movies kick ass.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #11 on:** April 18, 2007, 01:15:28 AM »

I need to pick up that 3 pack movie special that has both of them at Fred Meyer, it has the meh BATMAN VS MR FREEZE movie.

I lost that and transformers movie in a flood :'( along with a whole bunch of xmen tapes where theres only 2 eps per tape

O those were the days.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #13 on:** April 18, 2007, 01:17:31 AM »

haha remember how much those tapes cost? I remember when Evangelion was on VHS, jesus fucking christ the prices.

Madrun Badrun · « **Reply #14 on:** April 18, 2007, 01:20:56 AM »

No man, I picked up them up in one of those bin of low priced movies walmart does. I still remember that day and going though the bin with my mom trying to get the whole series

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #15 on:** April 18, 2007, 01:25:12 AM »

Damn I'm gonna have to look for the Batman TAS on DVD. Or Batman Begins lol

I probably won't be able to find it

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #16 on:** April 18, 2007, 01:32:36 AM »

Both series got released on DVD just recently, should be available at any best buy

Himu · « **Reply #17 on:** April 18, 2007, 01:34:08 AM »

Should have gotten Venture Bros. s1 and 2.

Vizzys · « **Reply #19 on:** April 18, 2007, 01:35:03 AM »

i just read the return of the joker has been heavily edited in one of its releases. be sure to get the one that says "The Original Uncut Version."

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #20 on:** April 18, 2007, 01:35:28 AM »

I think thats the one thats in the ghetto 3 pack, thanks for the warning tho.

Himu: I KNOW I like Batman Beyond. I need to TRY some venture brothers before hoping on the bandwagon. It sounds interesting and some of the clips were funny, but who's to say whether or not it will click with me.

Himu · « **Reply #21 on:** April 18, 2007, 01:40:55 AM »

s1 costs 23 bucks or something

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #22 on:** April 18, 2007, 02:23:03 AM »

I may have money, but im not gonna blow 23 on something I may not like. I already had to give away a movie I bought without researching earlier this year.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #23 on:** April 18, 2007, 02:26:48 AM »

Venture Bros. is pretty great, I'd be surprised - nay, disappointed! - if you didn't like it.

I dug Batman Beyond, but Batman: The Animated Series was just leagues ahead of it in storytelling. And prior to its move to The WB and its animation budget getting the axe, it was just about one of the best shows on TV. The first couple of seasons were actually drawn on black, instead of white, to give it that dark look. I also prefer the more realistic, gritty retro tone of the early seasons of Batman: The Animated Series. Ironically, its Gotham City seems more vibrant and rich than that of the hyper-colorful futuristic one.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #24 on:** April 18, 2007, 02:30:55 AM »

Well the whole series jumped the shark when Robin was added imo.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #25 on:** April 18, 2007, 02:33:20 AM »

You mean Tim Drake? Because Dick Grayson was Robin in the first season.

Catz · « **Reply #26 on:** April 18, 2007, 02:42:14 AM »

Batman Beyond was great. I never saw the full series, but I would always stop to watch whenever I saw an episode airing. The Beyond movies were really good as well!! I especially enjoyed the Joker Returns movie, good stuff!

Best animated shows:

Batman the Animated Series
X-men
Gargoyles
Teen Titans
Invader Zim
Batman Beyond
TMNT
Duck Tales .. Oo-oo!

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #27 on:** April 18, 2007, 02:43:41 AM »

Nostalgia is blinding you with the X-Men pick. It's probably the most faithful retelling of any comic book mythos, but it also had some horrible voice acting, horrible dialogue and the worst animation to hit American TVs since Hanna-Barbera.

Vizzys · « **Reply #28 on:** April 18, 2007, 02:44:32 AM »

No way, the voice acting rocked! Wolverine :wub Sure the actual lines and delivery may have been campy at times, but that's not the VA's fault. I really loved the voice acting on that show.

I didn't say all of the voice acting sucked, I said some. For every minute of Wolverine, we had to deal with Jean and Cyclops:

<Cylclops> JEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNN!?!?
<Jean> SCOTTTTTTTTTT!!!!
<Cylclops> JEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNN!?!?
<Jean> SCOTTTTTTTTTT!!!!
<Cylclops> JEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNN!?!?

Then, it'd be next week...

PREVIOUSLY ON X-MEN:

Catz · « **Reply #32 on:** April 18, 2007, 02:55:06 AM »

Ok yeah, Jean and Cyclops sucked.

Too bad Ultimate X-men wasn't around during that time. Some Jean and Wolverine action would of been sooo cool.

I hated Cyke

Make sure you watch the Justice League series. It has a few great ties to Batman: TAS and Beyond.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #36 on:** April 18, 2007, 12:35:32 PM »

Whats the difference between Justice League and JL Unlimited? I remember watching the first Justice League and liking it quite a bit but this Unlimited series has a crapload of new people it looks like.

Justice League Unlimited is just seasons 3 and 4 of Justice League, and instead of having two half hour episodes for one story they told one story per episode but had kind of an overall storyline throughout each season. It's pretty good actually.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #40 on:** April 18, 2007, 04:24:32 PM »

Ok so its not some retelling crap? I might consider it then.

I got season 3 of beyond today whoop.

Yeti · « **Reply #41 on:** April 19, 2007, 04:20:36 AM »

No, it isn't a retelling, it is a continuation of what happens after the end of Justice League. It is pretty good stuff.
