Agreed, but let's have another writer work on those, and leave Sava in charge of DCAU reviews. There's still Superman and Batman Beyond, you know!

He dies in the middle of his snappy response, too. "Wait, that's not fun-" (chokes)

These guys are synonymous with A Pup Named Scooby-Doo to me. Anyone who's seen that show knows that's not a compliment.

I hate it when I miss these conversations.

The only way to end the series…
…is to have Keith David say "fuck this shit, I'm out of here," and fly off into the sunset on purple bat wings.

Barf.
This show has two things in common with that other superhero series, The Cape. The acting is just horrible! Was Chiklis always this wooden on The Shield and The Commish, or is he just phoning it in for this series until his contract expires?

Some were lucky enough to get Heart of Ice first. I think the one I watched first (if not THE first) was Batman roughing up villains on the Statue of Liberty, or grabbing a thug with a clamp on the front of the Batwing and dragging him through the ocean as a means of interrogation. His methods were so hardcore that…

Just the ones who feel the need to remind everyone of their intellectual superiority during every waking hour. Nobody likes a show-off.

I was thinking lesbian rather than prepubescent girl, but either way, Batman's not gettin' any. You're right, though… the new Catwoman design was a bust, especially the pale blue face. When did the Smurfs move into Gotham, anyway?

I watched the episode of Justice League called Wild Cards, which was co-written by Dwayne McDuffie. It's forty-four minutes of pure brilliance… it's easily as good as the better episodes of Batman: The Animated Series. This guy really knew his stuff.

If BTAS Mr. Freeze ever said "My bad" at any point in time, I would impale myself with an icicle. That's the kind of dialog I'd expect from The Batman.

"There may be some momentary discomfort."

Amusingly, Wil Wheaton went on to write for this very web site! Only to get his ass kicked by Seanbaby when he realized Wil had stolen his writing style.

The logistics of the pairing are just… frightening. Not even UPS could make that delivery.

It wasn't nearly as good as the first one (uninspired storyline, new voice actress for Doll, that weird new art style), but it's worth sitting through for the exchange between Batman and Batgirl as they race to the scene of Baby Doll's next crime.

Hee hee, Hitler!
I can't help but imagine Hitler listening to the bad news on the radio and shouting, Zangief-style, "Quick, change das channel!" Comic relief Hitler is the best kind.

Oh, there's never "too much" good animation. Especially now.

What would that be? I've Got Batman in My Basement, The Underdwellers, and Critters? You're right, it's a short list.

HOLY SHIT YES. The animated series IS Batman to me. I was never interested in the comics with their Gordian-knotted continuity or the films, but the animated series is magic. Start with Batman: The Animated Series, then work your way up to Superman: The Animated Series (there are many crossover episodes), then…

I love Harvey Bullock, or at least the concept of Harvey Bullock. I could easily imagine an entire series being written around a character like that.
