Why penguin?? in Arkham games they turned copperhead into a female... and that's my favorite take on copperhead ever! when changing something you don't have to change an established character, why don't change poison ivy to a. Man then?? Its dumb. They changed copperhead and becuz they didn't have any agenda that was great.. Thats what im saying.. They could've used that same character..
I had a girl friend recently on Twitter ask why they couldn't just make an original character like how the 90s series made Harley Quin and the Phantasm. The funniest fucking thing I seen in a while, one of the show runners vaguely implied she was being "sexist" and it quickly became an inside joke between my friends.
Your friend has a point there but honestly I really don't mind them changing the Penguin to a woman cause the character was kind of interesting And honestly people really shouldn't be Getting that mad over this
@@kingj9664 I don't think people were "mad" more so they're just annoyed because they know what the intention is.

In “The Batman” 2004 or 2007 that show featured a female cop who was a leading role and has one of the best female writing I’ve ever seen, her character is well fleshed out and she didn’t have to be woke, she didn’t have to be lesbian, she didn’t need other people to say how smart she was, and every male character wasn’t some sleeze ball to make her look good her name was elen Yen, I think but I know she was a very well written character and well designed too
Bit of a shame Batgirl kind of replaced her. Pretty sure Yen never appeared after the second season. I think she is mentioned becoming commissioner at some point. But she's largely forgotten, once Barbara comes into the picture.
Duuude, I was super looking forward to seeing the potential romance/ partnership she would have with Batman and Bruce Wayne. It was almost like they gave batman his own Lois Lane. Then they just erased her...
1:48 J.J. Abrahams’ name on this project actually deterred me more than anything. Any IP this man touches gets scuffed. It’s not that he has a curse, because… he IS the curse.
He’s the reason Star Trek and Star Wars are ass now too it’s crazy too since Star Trek used to be super popular now barely anybody that’s under 25 knows it
Renee Montoya was a character in the original show, she was just kind of a beat cop though. She showed up every once in a while but not often, she's kinda bullock's partner but not really.
@@CJSopranoYTThing is. Renée Montoya also worked up to detective from a beat cop. It was after the episode POV when it happened. That's the episode where Bullock, another beat cop, and Montoya were questioned by Internal Affairs about a bust gone wrong and they had to save Batman from his predicament.
i didn't have a problem with him coming back cuz the dude literally had a clone army, like the biggest threat of all time wouldn't have a backup plan 😂
I think its funny because the penguin is one of the batman villains that shows how being treated poorly because of your appearance can hurt a people, on the original animated series the episode penguin starts trying to be a good person but everyone treats him poorly because of his appearance is soul crushing. A message woke people try to pass forward, and I think boomers would eat it because of how sympathetic it can be.
Batman used guns for less then a year after his creation and after that the writers immediately made him stop using guns. Stop defending batman holding guns in "the comics" because you definitely haven't read any of them
Well, true OG Batman actually use guns pretty regularly in his first few Batman only carried a gun . He killed people on a regular basis. And Batman is not really afraid to use guns. He just doesn’t want to kill anybody with one or use one against individual person.
Just a quick note, Montoya isn't new- in the OG series she's Harvey Bullock's partner. Originally their dynamic is that Montoya is an active supporter of Batman, while bullock is portrayed more as a somewhat corrupt cop and sees batman more of a menace vigilantee
Yeah I figured this out afterwards, it’s been a while since I’ve seen the entire animated series start to finish… but I appreciate the correction. Doesn’t change my thoughts on the character though
@@TheeOK1 not really like corrupt but he was the type of cop that broke the rules did shady stuff to get the job done. Commiting crime? No but he'd DEFINATELY be the type of guy who planted evidence to land an arrest
I knew this show was going to be bad the moment they mentioned Bruce Timm was going to be one of the lead creatives on it. If nobody who has great respect and understanding of Batman isn't involved in one of his Batman projects, expect shit; just look at Bruce Timm's adaptation of The Killing Joke. Also, he and another one of the creative leads said how "Batman lacks GOOD VILLAINS and there weren't enough FEMALE villains." No wonder Warner Bros. sold this mess to Amazon...
@@Sew3rRattMate you're not a batman fan 😛 what is it with you fellas and your insistence to watch adaptation of shows you don't like and don't agree with for some reason? You could just make your own cynical parody of Batman without spitting at the older generation
Yep. Even then, Bruce time apparently had different designs in mind before trying to keep the art relatively comic book accurate. Mans has nothing but art to his name, seems like the inverse of Butch Hartman, not that JJ Abrams helped any.
the animated series had a very distinct art direction that combined incredibly expressive backgrounds drawn on black paper and fluid cel animation. it drew inspiration from german expressionism and the superman fleischer cartoon, which together both gave that version of gotham a very unique look and feel. i think this show just lacks a clear direction, and can't seem to decide between being an animated series clone or a grounded film noir, giving it this confusing aesthetic that isn't appealing, pretty, or fluid. tldr it looks like shit because i think no one knew what they wanted to do going into this, whereas the animated series had a clear vision and stuck to it
In “The Batman” 2004 or 2007 that show featured a female cop who was a leading role and has one of the best female writing I’ve ever seen, her character is well fleshed out and she didn’t have to be woke, she didn’t have to be lesbian, she didn’t need other people to say how smart she was, and every male character wasn’t some sleeze ball to make her look good I forgot her name but I know she was a very well written character and well designed too
@@FrozenPyro06 I wouldn’t have even minded if the A plot was a story worth telling. Nothing happened, no arc for anybody, no interesting dynamic between characters, nobody mattered towards any central theme or plot. All a big nothing
@@CJSopranoYT Bro didn’t even watch the animated series. Watch Two-Face part one dude, guess what? Batman isn’t there much and it’s one of the best episodes in the series.
I'll say that I agree with you on a number of points, but you're wrong about Clayface. The reason that this Clayface is so divorced from the BTAS Clayface is because they're different comic book characters. That is actually a very faithful adaptation of the original Basil Karlo Clayface.
it’s really so depressing i had the chance to meet conroy as a kid and missed out not realizing the impact he had on my life and now that opportunity is lost forever. fly high bats.
All this series did was show me that people forgot that all the worst things from BTAS were what Bruce Timm championed and all the good stuff from the show had little do with him Never forget that Bruce Timm is the one that has a hard on for the Bruce/Barbara relationship, and had her get pregnant with Bruce's kid while she was dating Dick Grayson in the BTAS canon (it was in the canon follow up comics) Either Bruce Timm really wants to bang one of his co-workers' daughter or it's a fetish he has, cause he's obsessed with it BTAS should be remembered as a staple of the character's history, but Bruce Timm should not be given any type of creative control This is the 3rd time people have made that mistake, maybe this time they'll learn from it Also, quick edit that I forgot to mention, Renee Montoya isn't new to this series and is unironically a pretty solid character within the comics
In a word, almost. The writing is really bad and the fact is Batman gets less screen time than the supporting cast. The voice acting is way below what we are accustomed to and they mangle the characters thoroughly. On the plus side the animation was decent and JJ was involved.... ugh, I change my word. YES, it's that bad.
The animation was honestly pretty badd at times. The worse scene is when penguin is trying to blow to police department. The animation for them escaping was immediately noticeable for me and made me replay and pause. The action sequences is where the animation is genuinely good if not passable, like the clayface fight. But the inbetween scenes can be so stiff and lack any real movement.
Because Disney and Netflix have been slowly manipulating young people into liking this kind of crap for over 10 years and they are becoming the new market.

I am tired of the politically motivated changes to already established characters and the fact that modern day trash is inserted into the golden or silver age of comic stories. Like the changes to The Penguin and making NOT Harley Quinn who has the same name as Harleen Quinzel's alter ego when she is WITH THE Joker. And why did they make Alfred Pennyworth, THE British Special Intelligence member, a clumsy fat man who is made fun of by everyone? Why are there so many things wrong with this show? And why is Jar Jar Abrams at BAD REBOOT on this probei? Why is Bruce Timm not working with Paul Dini and others who worked on the DCAU shows back in the day? You know, the very writers who made DCAU and Batman the way those properties in media are today? I can't take this seriously, since they all call us racist and other labels for asking these exact legitimate questions.
@@seanmarley3598no, someone who genuinely looks like he used to be in British Army and to put a bit of respect on his name. He partly trained Batman ffs. But oh what am I saying, even Batman doesnt get any respect here so why should Alfred?
@@ad1kher0gaming71 Was Alfred even a trained British begin with? The only time i remember was Live action version where Alfred worked for Queen of England.
In case you were wondering, the reason why Alfred is a clumsy fat man is because that's how he was in the comics. He used to be fat, and clumsy, but then there was a story where to went to resort on vacation, and spent his time there working out, and returned skinny and clumsy. Alfred was intended to be a comic relief character, who often bumbled his way into trouble, and would get out of it normally through dumb luck. For a look at the original version of Alfred who inspired this show's version, check out Batman issue 10. The reason why made him skinny is because the Batman characters were adapted into a film serial, and they got a skinny man to play Alfred there, and they wanted to make the comic Alfred match what was going on in the big screen. Neat, eh?
Not quite exactly. Yes. Alfred was first introduced in Batman #16 (April *1944*), by writer Don Cameron and artist Bob Kane, in which he had an overweight and clean-shaven appearance. However, he was originally created by writers Victor McLeod, Leslie Swabacker, and Harry Fraserof for the Batman (*1943*) serial, in which he was played by English character actor William Austin. The comic's story was published prior to the serial's release, regardless, DC editors wanted the comic Alfred to resemble his cinematic counterpart, so in Detective Comics #83 (January 1944), Alfred vacationed at a health resort, where he slimmed down and grew a mustache.
This show stands as the perfect example of what happens when writers and creators lack nuance and aren't made to operate around certain restrictions. Bruce Timm has the creativity, but he's always needed others to hold him back from going over the top, people like Paul Dini and back in the 90s broadcast and standards. Timm doesn't have the nuance to keep things held back, even several times in past interviews expressing his frustration in not being able to make the characters exactly how he wanted, which ultimately ended up being a good thing. Paul Dini deserves way more credit in making BTAS as good as not was, but Bruce Timm gets all the credit.
@@MrOrcshaman FYI this is also the same Bruce Timm that made Batman have that infamous scene with Barbara in the Killing Joke. This show isn't even the first disaster he has had with Batman when Paul Dini wasn't in the writer's booth.
@@rainingtacos7529 the Harley Quinn show is too feminist for me, but no I do not recommend you watch the Batman show either if you’re a long time fan of the Batman animated series.
Frankly.... I find this show more mediocre than anything. They didn't want to just stick to Golden Age Batman, just stole some of the aesthetics & delivered a bland elseworld. It's a shame because Golden Age Batman could have given a familar yet new experience !
exactly. well said. They could've used the Mad Monk, Cavalier (he's kinda lame but any character can work with good writing) and some other great golden age characters. They used catwoman but I want to see her ORIGINAL design, that's my favorite. Look it up.
21:34 You overlooked the fact that Catwoman was cuffed to a table leg with a clay pot on it. She could have knocked the table over and escaped at any time.
i like a Batman show where Batman isnt in the limelight and works as boogieman, but not a blundering idiot. Sherlock Holmes literally sees Batman as an equal. like what the fuck is this show
This reminds of cartoons from the early 2000s and they took classic characters and tried to make them hip like that Looney tunes show where they had iron man suits. I feels that same kind of low quality
Love how they attack men for liking women and they can never have men help. Yet they have women needing other women and lusting after other women. Sick of the double standard. These people are supposedly are against this type of behavior and consistently do it again and again.
For real, it's kinda sad how many shows are getting ruined by today's society standards like this...And it's a pity cuz this show had potential, can't even get shit anymo
I had my hopes up with Bruce Timm involved. Then I heard JJ Abrams. My expectations went down the drain. That's what now? 3 franchises he destroyed? Jesus christ this series is so ass. No wonder they couldn't put this on TV, it's horrible. First fucking Batman series in over a DECADE and this is what we get. I'm good watching the Batman 2004 and BTAS. Screw this entire show.
If this was a batgirl-centric series where the concept is batman beyond the detective female goes ask people in the daytime and at night the detective becomes a batgirl, and so on.
What makes me cautious of this show is Catwoman. She's rich. That's not and never really will be MY version Catwoman. I like it when she's from the East End, grew up poor, shes Bruce's yin to his yang Also Bruce Timm. That huy really loves Barbara and Bruce as a couple... and also J.J Abrams.
Clayface episode: Why couldn’t the actress get off the chopping table after one hand was untied? She just lay there whining about not wanting to die, but didn’t move until her other hand was untied. Little things like that can ruin a series.
I enjoyed the Gentleman Ghost, Clayface, carnival and Onomatopoeia episodes. But the quality isn’t consistent between each show. The Penguin change was utterly pointless, as was making Harley Quinn some Mad Hatter/Hugo Strange knockoff that brainwashes her billionaire clients out of some vague disdain for capitalism. Also, she’s Hawaiian and obese for some reason. But the worst, by far, is how Two-Face was handled. Harvey Dent is played as a one-dimensional misogynist for most of the show, until the last few episodes where he suddenly becomes the “White Knight” for a scant few seconds until he is disfigured by a mobster IN THE BATHROOM. Yeah, that’s right. Harvey’s tragic disfigurement doesn’t even happen when Batman is around. Dude gets his face melted by a goon on the john. And don’t even get me started on how terrible his appearance is in contrast to BTAS, TDK or even that Gotham Knights show that flopped.
The Long Halloween movie handled it the best imo, in that movie he is manipulated into going crazy, he already had his tick with the coin but being framed for murder and disfigured pushed him over the edge. I agree Harvey deserved better there's no tragedy for him in this show, he's Two-Face for a few days gets arrested and then dies. As for Harley Quinn making her Bruce's psychologist was fine, making her date another woman is fine, making her work with the police is fine, but making her Harley Quinn without the Joker is stupid, her tragedy is the abusive relationship she has with him. Female Penguin is ok, it's pointless but it works This show is so far OK, and I think it can get better if they improve their writing and actually let these actors do their lines in the same room.
@@miguelzurita3216 About Harvey's tragedy, "Eye Of the Beholder" was the first iteration to do it in more details and it was fine, very good Two-Face comic but kinda rushed on the Dent side. Then you have BTAS AND Long halloween which build-up the assassination attempt juuuust right and clue you in that there's something wrong with Harv's temper despite him being an upstanding and Justice-driven attorney... The way THIS show handles it though ? Trash...
I think my main problem is that it’s not enough to stand out from previous Batman shows. I also agree that they kinda make Batman a bumbling mess, he struggles in fights that he shouldn’t, he acts like some fucking tsundere when interacting with Alfred💀, and it seems like he was always last to figure out something
@@thelosersclub5641 yes because everyone wants to watch a batman show where he's not batman yet, what a joke, in the recent batman movie he was also new to the whole batman thing yet was smart and capable of fighting criminals, why would he even start being batman if he's not intelligent or capable of winning a single fight, how are we supposed to feel something when he loses like when bane broke his back if he stood emotionless like a damn corpse when being beaten by a child
@OfficialCJSoprano oh yeah definitely its one of the 6 episodes thats just barbara or renee being boring for 18 minutes and batman showing up for a mid fight at the end
I think what you don’t understand is this is an adaptation of 20-40s comics, if course there are a few modern changes because 20-40s media is very dated, but most of the modern characters were established in the 80s and 90s. Mr freeze and clayface especially were way different before the animated series
17:50 idk, I think anyone including the character of Bruce Wayne wouldn’t take someone blatantly disrespecting their parent who was murdered too lightly. I know the show isn’t too good but I think you could cut it a bit of slack
As a Kid, I saw B:TAS, and it was great. Then later came TNBA, and The Batman (2004). Those shows were my Childhood, and I was born in 2003. It doesn't take a Batman Fan to know, that Batman never carries a Gun, or how the most Iconic Villains shouldn't change any desgin, color, or sex. And this show is trying so hard to be a mixture of B:TAS and Absolute Batman.
I am actually fine with Batman using guns in this context. That's actually in line with what the show promoted itself, as an adaptation of the original Batman in Detective comics, when he actually used guns before a lot of his lore was fleshed out further.
It's fascinating how many shows have come out in the past 5-10 years that I would love to watch, but they choose to alienate me as a fan If you told me a decade ago they were making a LotR show, a Witcher show with Henry freaking Cavill, or a new Batman show, I'd be so nerdy and hyped Instead I have zero desire to even click them anymore
I'd like to point out that it's common for voice actors to record their lines seperately when working on animation, anime and cartoons. Recording alone in a booth is typically how it goes. Not all voice actors know each other, nor are they expected to. Press conferences and conventions tend to be how and when they first meet, unless they're regular employees at voice-acting guilds or English dubbing companies. Yes, the voice acting is a downgrade, but recording their lines separately doesn't have anything to do with that.
@@AidenS-f5z Its quality is debatable, considering it's actually the actor and the director's job to both get the best and most appropriate lines for each scene, but you're missing the point. Solo recordings are more common across the industry. It's not the issue here. The entire show isn't gonna get fixed by putting two people in a booth every time they need to get some lines.
Nope. Kevin Conroy was gay and a a loud and proud member of the LGBTQ+ Sadly not even he cares if this series continues to butcher batman. He didn't really care when he signed up for suicide squad butchering his legacy so why would he care now?
@@loganjohnson7441 Nah, Kevin would have given this a standing ovation. Kevin Conroy was not only gay but an enthusiastic member of the LGBTQ+ if he supported suicide squad (which butchered his legacy and Batman's image) what makes you think he'd be upset by any of this?
12:02 the original Batman animated series did this too, but it was because Batman was the person while Bruce Wayne was the mask and it was supposed to represent that this lazily does it and throws it in half assed
Yes and no, in BTAS he only spoke like Batman when he had the mask on. He never forced his voice to be dark and gargly as Bruce Wayne when it's just him and Alfred. The new show made him look mentally disturbed
@@CJSopranoYTdude this version of Bruce was obviously affected differently because most Batmen don’t burst into their Alfred room that night and say “They all have to pay” the way he did and that’s fucking rad. Y’all see something interesting like Batman actually being seen as crazy which he is in many points in the comics
@@CJSopranoYTOk maybe it’s been a minute since you actually watched the show, but there are SEVERAL scenes in BTAS where he does the exact thing you just described.
The very first time I heard batman's voice in this show, I thought to myself "Omg, will I be the only one who's gonna hate all this?"...turns out, I am not. Something told me this show is gonna be ass...glad to know someone else thinks that.
As a person that finds the show descent I can say the concept is cool and I like that Batman is more of a detective than anything else so yea it it’s mid but it can be better.
I liked certain aspects of the show like how they portrayed batman himself as well as some of the episodes and bullock and his partner were funny villains
Actually, with the no enter order, it was the right decision. They aren't trained for dealing with fire nor are they wearing the appropriate equipment to sustain a proper search for the kids. More lives would've been lost had he gave the order to enter
Well there should have been a call to the firefighters instead of the police force, but no. If 50 kids had died and the police stood idly by… there would be an out roar by citizens if that happened in real life. Looked like no fire fighters showed up even afterwards, so they are the only public servants that are present. They swear to serve and protect, lucky for Gordon it turned out fine. But if it didn’t, that’s a bad call. It’s all situational
The contexts around these two scenes are entirely different. In the pilot of batman beyond an old Bruce Wayne suffers some sort of spasm and grabs the gun to defend himself. He realizes he can no longer rely on his body and quits for that reason. In Batman caped crusader an emotionally repressed batman nearly loses control after watching Harvey Dent die in his arms. This batman is not mentally stable and is going on an arc to become moreso. This was a wake up call for him.

The gloves he wears is suppose to be a homage to Batman's first appearance as well as his whole suit, they only made the gloves black here and not purple. It's the same with Alfred, in his first appearance, he was a chubby Englishman and Batman using a gun
Yea but all that was changed he been set in stone for decades now they shouldn’t have changed what was know and if they wanted to pay homage to the old comics they could have done it better like Bruce had 2 butlers or something and decides to get rid of one or they have a family emergency and then you can show it’s old school Alfred from the comics. To just have newer thinner Alfred come up escorting the old one out obviously he wouldn’t be named Alfred they can call him jeeves or something

... Why did you structure this like a poem...?
Welcome to NuConsumerism. Your blood and mind is literally your wallet.
Renee Montoya was a character in the original show, she was just kind of a beat cop though. She showed up every once in a while but not often, she's kinda bullock's partner but not really.
Ahh I didn’t know this
@@CJSopranoYTThing is. Renée Montoya also worked up to detective from a beat cop. It was after the episode POV when it happened. That's the episode where Bullock, another beat cop, and Montoya were questioned by Internal Affairs about a bust gone wrong and they had to save Batman from his predicament.
I miss when Renée and Bullock were a team. Their personalities really complemented one another...
Nah montoya was a richeously good character in BTAS but at the start of her career wasnt great but overtime she got a bit better@@CJSopranoYT
She does some cool things in someof the comics.
People have so much praise for J.J. Abrams as if he didn´t screw star wars and star trek
"Somehow, palpatine returned" yeah, sure
J.J Abrams got some serious glazers it’s embarrassing
i didn't have a problem with him coming back cuz the dude literally had a clone army, like the biggest threat of all time wouldn't have a backup plan 😂
I think its funny because the penguin is one of the batman villains that shows how being treated poorly because of your appearance can hurt a people, on the original animated series the episode penguin starts trying to be a good person but everyone treats him poorly because of his appearance is soul crushing. A message woke people try to pass forward, and I think boomers would eat it because of how sympathetic it can be.
Define woke , or are ya just a racist/sexist?
Batman holding a gun will never sound not unhinged

Well, true OG Batman actually use guns pretty regularly in his first few Batman only carried a gun . He killed people on a regular basis. And Batman is not really afraid to use guns. He just doesn’t want to kill anybody with one or use one against individual person.
Just a quick note, Montoya isn't new- in the OG series she's Harvey Bullock's partner. Originally their dynamic is that Montoya is an active supporter of Batman, while bullock is portrayed more as a somewhat corrupt cop and sees batman more of a menace vigilantee

@@CJSopranoYT no your right about the show overall. Just wanted to point that one part out. Good analogy and breakdown mind you.
He wasnt corrupt, at least in the og series. He was relatively misunderstood, and seen as the butt of the police department.

@@BlackangelKatakuri good thing no one said that
This show is just proof that Paul Dini did all the creative work, Bruce Timm just did design work.
Yep. Even then, Bruce time apparently had different designs in mind before trying to keep the art relatively comic book accurate. Mans has nothing but art to his name, seems like the inverse of Butch Hartman, not that JJ Abrams helped any.
DC needs Paul Dini more than Bruce Timm.
I really don't like the animation and artstyle, it seems cheap and ugly. The 90s animated series looks and moves much better in comparison.
@@MyChannel-g3b so much life in the old animation!
Cheap u say?
the animated series had a very distinct art direction that combined incredibly expressive backgrounds drawn on black paper and fluid cel animation. it drew inspiration from german expressionism and the superman fleischer cartoon, which together both gave that version of gotham a very unique look and feel. i think this show just lacks a clear direction, and can't seem to decide between being an animated series clone or a grounded film noir, giving it this confusing aesthetic that isn't appealing, pretty, or fluid. tldr it looks like shit because i think no one knew what they wanted to do going into this, whereas the animated series had a clear vision and stuck to it
All the cartoons that guys like When we were younger is now being destroyed And it's sad and pathetic.
We should have appreciated what we had
@OfficialCJSoprano I do and I got some of them from my younger days on blu ray/4k
In “The Batman” 2004 or 2007 that show featured a female cop who was a leading role and has one of the best female writing I’ve ever seen, her character is well fleshed out and she didn’t have to be woke, she didn’t have to be lesbian, she didn’t need other people to say how smart she was, and every male character wasn’t some sleeze ball to make her look good I forgot her name but I know she was a very well written character and well designed too
@@kyoguro_rengoku totally agree. Detective Ellen Yin

@@CJSopranoYT Bro didn’t even watch the animated series. Watch Two-Face part one dude, guess what? Batman isn’t there much and it’s one of the best episodes in the series.
I'll say that I agree with you on a number of points, but you're wrong about Clayface. The reason that this Clayface is so divorced from the BTAS Clayface is because they're different comic book characters. That is actually a very faithful adaptation of the original Basil Karlo Clayface.
it’s really so depressing i had the chance to meet conroy as a kid and missed out not realizing the impact he had on my life and now that opportunity is lost forever. fly high bats.
The moment I noticed the art style is the same as Velma I realized this would be a train wreck.
I realized that and it made me think I just inhaled a lethal amount of Fear Toxin
That is objectively false, go compare both art styles and then come back to this comment; that’s all I’m going to say.

@@callmejacob3234 The Harley Quinn show came out way before Velma and people actually like it if you don't like it then that's just a you thing
All this series did was show me that people forgot that all the worst things from BTAS were what Bruce Timm championed and all the good stuff from the show had little do with him
Never forget that Bruce Timm is the one that has a hard on for the Bruce/Barbara relationship, and had her get pregnant with Bruce's kid while she was dating Dick Grayson in the BTAS canon (it was in the canon follow up comics)
Either Bruce Timm really wants to bang one of his co-workers' daughter or it's a fetish he has, cause he's obsessed with it
BTAS should be remembered as a staple of the character's history, but Bruce Timm should not be given any type of creative control
This is the 3rd time people have made that mistake, maybe this time they'll learn from it
Also, quick edit that I forgot to mention, Renee Montoya isn't new to this series and is unironically a pretty solid character within the comics
In a word, almost. The writing is really bad and the fact is Batman gets less screen time than the supporting cast. The voice acting is way below what we are accustomed to and they mangle the characters thoroughly. On the plus side the animation was decent and JJ was involved.... ugh, I change my word. YES, it's that bad.
Well put
Writing is a strong word to give to those fakes.
@@CJSopranoYTDude doesn't have a brain
The animation was honestly pretty badd at times. The worse scene is when penguin is trying to blow to police department. The animation for them escaping was immediately noticeable for me and made me replay and pause. The action sequences is where the animation is genuinely good if not passable, like the clayface fight. But the inbetween scenes can be so stiff and lack any real movement.
I've seen sooooo many people praising this series?why?it disrespects everything about batman,literally everything
Right!
Because of a particular chromosomal makeup...let's not pretend. I'm all for inclusive-ness, but stop changing and dumbing down existing characters.
It agrees with them ideologically, so the quality doesn't matter.

I am tired of the politically motivated changes to already established characters and the fact that modern day trash is inserted into the golden or silver age of comic stories. Like the changes to The Penguin and making NOT Harley Quinn who has the same name as Harleen Quinzel's alter ego when she is WITH THE Joker.
And why did they make Alfred Pennyworth, THE British Special Intelligence member, a clumsy fat man who is made fun of by everyone? Why are there so many things wrong with this show? And why is Jar Jar Abrams at BAD REBOOT on this probei? Why is Bruce Timm not working with Paul Dini and others who worked on the DCAU shows back in the day? You know, the very writers who made DCAU and Batman the way those properties in media are today?
I can't take this seriously, since they all call us racist and other labels for asking these exact legitimate questions.
Well said!
THE ONLY THING I CAN DEFEND IN THIS ,IS THE FAT ALFRED. EARLY IN IT'S BEGINNINGS, ALFRED WAS FAT. THIN ALFIE CAME LATER DOWN THE RUN OF THE BOOKS.
@@Ichigo_Kurosaki27 Alfred being fat was literally his original design. What do you expect? Skinny bone butler?
@@seanmarley3598no, someone who genuinely looks like he used to be in British Army and to put a bit of respect on his name. He partly trained Batman ffs. But oh what am I saying, even Batman doesnt get any respect here so why should Alfred?
@@ad1kher0gaming71 Was Alfred even a trained British begin with? The only time i remember was Live action version where Alfred worked for Queen of England.
In case you were wondering, the reason why Alfred is a clumsy fat man is because that's how he was in the comics. He used to be fat, and clumsy, but then there was a story where to went to resort on vacation, and spent his time there working out, and returned skinny and clumsy. Alfred was intended to be a comic relief character, who often bumbled his way into trouble, and would get out of it normally through dumb luck. For a look at the original version of Alfred who inspired this show's version, check out Batman issue 10.
The reason why made him skinny is because the Batman characters were adapted into a film serial, and they got a skinny man to play Alfred there, and they wanted to make the comic Alfred match what was going on in the big screen. Neat, eh?
Thank God we didn't get this Alfred as the popular version. Our current Alfred got a much needed glowup
Not quite exactly.
Yes. Alfred was first introduced in Batman #16 (April *1944*), by writer Don Cameron and artist Bob Kane, in which he had an overweight and clean-shaven appearance.
However, he was originally created by writers Victor McLeod, Leslie Swabacker, and Harry Fraserof for the Batman (*1943*) serial, in which he was played by English character actor William Austin.
The comic's story was published prior to the serial's release, regardless, DC editors wanted the comic Alfred to resemble his cinematic counterpart, so in Detective Comics #83 (January 1944), Alfred vacationed at a health resort, where he slimmed down and grew a mustache.
I get the feeling they wanted to do Gotham except with Barbra
This show stands as the perfect example of what happens when writers and creators lack nuance and aren't made to operate around certain restrictions.
Bruce Timm has the creativity, but he's always needed others to hold him back from going over the top, people like Paul Dini and back in the 90s broadcast and standards. Timm doesn't have the nuance to keep things held back, even several times in past interviews expressing his frustration in not being able to make the characters exactly how he wanted, which ultimately ended up being a good thing.
Paul Dini deserves way more credit in making BTAS as good as not was, but Bruce Timm gets all the credit.
For sure, the whole team back then was a perfect collaboration
@@CJSopranoYT Shirley Walker remains one of my all time favourite composers
@@MrOrcshaman FYI this is also the same Bruce Timm that made Batman have that infamous scene with Barbara in the Killing Joke. This show isn't even the first disaster he has had with Batman when Paul Dini wasn't in the writer's booth.

It's a shame because Golden Age Batman could have given a familar yet new experience !
Agreed! Wasted potential
exactly. well said. They could've used the Mad Monk, Cavalier (he's kinda lame but any character can work with good writing) and some other great golden age characters. They used catwoman but I want to see her ORIGINAL design, that's my favorite. Look it up.
Idk how people give this show a 10 out of 10 I really want to understand what they find good about it.
21:34 You overlooked the fact that Catwoman was cuffed to a table leg with a clay pot on it. She could have knocked the table over and escaped at any time.
i like a Batman show where Batman isnt in the limelight and works as boogieman, but not a blundering idiot.
Sherlock Holmes literally sees Batman as an equal. like what the fuck is this show
Why does Bruce Wayne sound like Archer? It just makes him sound even sillier
This reminds of cartoons from the early 2000s and they took classic characters and tried to make them hip like that Looney tunes show where they had iron man suits. I feels that same kind of low quality
Love how they attack men for liking women and they can never have men help. Yet they have women needing other women and lusting after other women. Sick of the double standard. These people are supposedly are against this type of behavior and consistently do it again and again.
For real, it's kinda sad how many shows are getting ruined by today's society standards like this...And it's a pity cuz this show had potential, can't even get shit anymo
Who do you mean?
I had my hopes up with Bruce Timm involved. Then I heard JJ Abrams. My expectations went down the drain. That's what now? 3 franchises he destroyed?
Jesus christ this series is so ass. No wonder they couldn't put this on TV, it's horrible. First fucking Batman series in over a DECADE and this is what we get. I'm good watching the Batman 2004 and BTAS. Screw this entire show.
I’ll be joining you
I've heard that Paul Dini was the major contributor that made "Batman: The Animated Series" the way it was.
One Thing I noticed was, no one blinks ever
They’re really trying to recreate the original animated series but it’s so uninspired
If this was a batgirl-centric series where the concept is batman beyond the detective female goes ask people in the daytime and at night the detective becomes a batgirl, and so on.
You did a great job! You nailed it - 56% Rotten tomatoes audience score. The message is their only concern!
Thank you!
What makes me cautious of this show is Catwoman. She's rich.
That's not and never really will be MY version Catwoman. I like it when she's from the East End, grew up poor, shes Bruce's yin to his yang
Also Bruce Timm. That huy really loves Barbara and Bruce as a couple... and also J.J Abrams.
Damn. Not recording with your costars is bad. That’s what’s made the magic between joker and Batman literally iconic in btas
Don’t forget Harley: Arleen Sorkin was seriously playing the kazoo and it was quite the anecdote for the whole cast
Clayface episode: Why couldn’t the actress get off the chopping table after one hand was untied? She just lay there whining about not wanting to die, but didn’t move until her other hand was untied. Little things like that can ruin a series.
not really that’s just a nitpick idk why that’s the one thing you’re pointing out of all things
I enjoyed the Gentleman Ghost, Clayface, carnival and Onomatopoeia episodes. But the quality isn’t consistent between each show.
The Penguin change was utterly pointless, as was making Harley Quinn some Mad Hatter/Hugo Strange knockoff that brainwashes her billionaire clients out of some vague disdain for capitalism. Also, she’s Hawaiian and obese for some reason.
But the worst, by far, is how Two-Face was handled. Harvey Dent is played as a one-dimensional misogynist for most of the show, until the last few episodes where he suddenly becomes the “White Knight” for a scant few seconds until he is disfigured by a mobster IN THE BATHROOM.
Yeah, that’s right. Harvey’s tragic disfigurement doesn’t even happen when Batman is around. Dude gets his face melted by a goon on the john. And don’t even get me started on how terrible his appearance is in contrast to BTAS, TDK or even that Gotham Knights show that flopped.
The Long Halloween movie handled it the best imo, in that movie he is manipulated into going crazy, he already had his tick with the coin but being framed for murder and disfigured pushed him over the edge.
I agree Harvey deserved better there's no tragedy for him in this show, he's Two-Face for a few days gets arrested and then dies.
As for Harley Quinn making her Bruce's psychologist was fine, making her date another woman is fine, making her work with the police is fine, but making her Harley Quinn without the Joker is stupid, her tragedy is the abusive relationship she has with him.
Female Penguin is ok, it's pointless but it works
This show is so far OK, and I think it can get better if they improve their writing and actually let these actors do their lines in the same room.
@@miguelzurita3216 About Harvey's tragedy, "Eye Of the Beholder" was the first iteration to do it in more details and it was fine, very good Two-Face comic but kinda rushed on the Dent side.
Then you have BTAS AND Long halloween which build-up the assassination attempt juuuust right and clue you in that there's something wrong with Harv's temper despite him being an upstanding and Justice-driven attorney...
The way THIS show handles it though ? Trash...

2:05 why does he look like he’s going to tell Alfred he shat the bed?
I think what you don’t understand is this is an adaptation of 20-40s comics, if course there are a few modern changes because 20-40s media is very dated, but most of the modern characters were established in the 80s and 90s. Mr freeze and clayface especially were way different before the animated series
The fact that they worked for so long on this show, just to have 2006 cartoon animation is insane to me (I said animation, not design)
As South Park said put a chick in it and make it lame and gay because it is not a Modern tv show without it 😂
they tricked people into thinking this was written by Paul Dini
17:50 idk, I think anyone including the character of Bruce Wayne wouldn’t take someone blatantly disrespecting their parent who was murdered too lightly. I know the show isn’t too good but I think you could cut it a bit of slack
As a Kid, I saw B:TAS, and it was great. Then later came TNBA, and The Batman (2004). Those shows were my Childhood, and I was born in 2003. It doesn't take a Batman Fan to know, that Batman never carries a Gun, or how the most Iconic Villains shouldn't change any desgin, color, or sex. And this show is trying so hard to be a mixture of B:TAS and Absolute Batman.
@@giornobpr6546 Same, 2002. Apparently inspired by the old Batman detective comics, but took the very worst elements
I am actually fine with Batman using guns in this context. That's actually in line with what the show promoted itself, as an adaptation of the original Batman in Detective comics, when he actually used guns before a lot of his lore was fleshed out further.
It's fascinating how many shows have come out in the past 5-10 years that I would love to watch, but they choose to alienate me as a fan
If you told me a decade ago they were making a LotR show, a Witcher show with Henry freaking Cavill, or a new Batman show, I'd be so nerdy and hyped

Bro looks like a young penguin got a Edgar cut
I'd like to point out that it's common for voice actors to record their lines seperately when working on animation, anime and cartoons. Recording alone in a booth is typically how it goes. Not all voice actors know each other, nor are they expected to. Press conferences and conventions tend to be how and when they first meet, unless they're regular employees at voice-acting guilds or English dubbing companies.
Yes, the voice acting is a downgrade, but recording their lines separately doesn't have anything to do with that.
there are plenty of animated media where actors voice together. Definitely helps with quality
@@AidenS-f5z Its quality is debatable, considering it's actually the actor and the director's job to both get the best and most appropriate lines for each scene, but you're missing the point. Solo recordings are more common across the industry. It's not the issue here. The entire show isn't gonna get fixed by putting two people in a booth every time they need to get some lines.
Never let bro cook again

If 50 kids had died and the police stood idly by… there would be an out roar by citizens if that happened in real life.

What is that supposed to mean?
44:03 Um, yah, in the original, Batman quit being Batman because of the one time he had to point a gun at a guy. This is completely out of character.
The contexts around these two scenes are entirely different. In the pilot of batman beyond an old Bruce Wayne suffers some sort of spasm and grabs the gun to defend himself. He realizes he can no longer rely on his body and quits for that reason.
In Batman caped crusader an emotionally repressed batman nearly loses control after watching Harvey Dent die in his arms. This batman is not mentally stable and is going on an arc to become moreso. This was a wake up call for him.

@@kyoguro_rengoku i think I remember her but I was small that time
Edit: a month ago I watch Batman: the return of the knight and the Robin is a strong dependable female (forgor her name) and they should have taken inspiration from that movie and not do this crap right here
@@Eleyricait is a streaming show. It is pay by suscriptors who haven't even watched the show. That's why is piracy to me.
@@kyoguro_rengokuwasnt she clay face?

_Who ya_ gonna call....?
HE-MAN!!!
I stopped watching this show very shortly after the penguin gender swap. I have a immune response over that garbage now. I was worried maybe I missed some gems in this show. Thank you for solidifying my decision and proving my instincts spot on.
When indie boss girls takeovers things.
Even 1960s Batman had redeeming qualities and is a joy to watch. This makes me even more sick. And I currently have covid.
The show is a complete & utter insult to everything & everyone that’s a true fan of Batman. A crime against humanity.
I love fat Alfred because every frame with him in it can be a reaction image
The gloves he wears is suppose to be a homage to Batman's first appearance as well as his whole suit, they only made the gloves black here and not purple. It's the same with Alfred, in his first appearance, he was a chubby Englishman and Batman using a gun
Yea but all that was changed he been set in stone for decades now they shouldn’t have changed what was know and if they wanted to pay homage to the old comics they could have done it better like Bruce had 2 butlers or something and decides to get rid of one or they have a family emergency and then you can show it’s old school Alfred from the comics. To just have newer thinner Alfred come up escorting the old one out obviously he wouldn’t be named Alfred they can call him jeeves or something
Alfred wasn't a chubby man on his first appearance, only on his second on the comics
Someone put that batman voice actor on a watch list after this, omg
Lazy Race and Gender Swaps...
STRONG INDEPENDANT WAHMAN.

LMAO that’s a great title actually
God you sound sad
@@Sew3rRatt Well when you get shit it doesn't improve your mood.
@@kazekamiha but to go out of your way and (i imagine) look for stuff that will make you upset even if youre obj wrong *you are and just come off as sexist adjscent* youll nevr be happy
@@Sew3rRatt Oh no, I have plenty of other things to play and watch. It's just annoying to see disappointing shit when animated series were much better 20-30 years ago.
Also; I'm not wrong. You're just bitter you're shit stinks.
I mean whenever I see a new series based on a comic I'm usually okay with bigger changes because in my mind "it's another universe in the larger multiverse ,it's not the same universe as any that have come before"
