It gets so bad that the writers say "The hell with it," and stick Penguin in an ancillary role as a "legitimate" business owner. They put the screws to the Riddler as well, which is a shame as his were some of the series' BEST episodes.

They do own McPluto, you know.

Two-Face's daddy issues
The comic adaptation of The New Batman Adventures explored this. Gotham Adventures 2 features the elder Dent, a violent gambling addict, winning millions of dollars from the state lottery. When he arrives on the set of a televised lottery drawing to collect his winnings, Two-Face…

Farnsworth's was really understated. I mean Hubert, not David.

Despite that, I still have more sympathy for Willie Watt than that Flash Thompson clone on the show. God, what a tool.

Oh lord…
Chappelle is such a fucking diva. I mean, I understand him being a little upset about peoples' obsession with that Rick James catchphrase, but he needs to realize that if he's paid to perform comedy, maybe he should actually tell some jokes. He's not Barbra Streisand, and people aren't going to put up with…

Inque didn't even try to hide her contempt for her would-be partner in that episode. Luckily, the tables are turned when her daughter Dianna (spoiler!) injects her with a "cure" for her condition that's laced with a solvent.

"Mommy, that lady is melting!"

A lot of those Marvel shows from the 90s and early 2000s were pretty rotten, particularly Fantastic Four, Iron Man (if your Mandarin turns green, throw it out) and especially The Avengers. The acting was totally wooden in the latter show, and the cast of characters was incredibly lame, including a generic hero named…

The Stella/Clayface relationship
Wow, Oliver walked away from that episode with a completely different view of Stella and Clayface's relationship than I had. It was pretty clear from the origin story forward that Hagan is the classic abuser, using a deadly combination of charisma and violence to keep those around him…

Your apartment smells like Poli-Grip and cat pee!

"Baby, do you need to go to the bathroom?"
"Ung… not anymore!"

Yeah, like that show where all the characters are made of letters. So a turtle is actually the word "TURTLE," in the shape of a turtle. I realize it's for very small children, but god is that contrived!

Blerf.
This show was massively liberal, and I say that as a man whose own political perspective has moved to the left over the past decade. The finale was just the tip of the iceberg… there were way too many episodes that beat object lessons into the viewer's head, while using the show's dumber characters as…

Okay, after looking at the footage of Avatar and comparing it to online maps… I was way off! Nope, it's right where New York would normally be. Not sure where I got the idea that it was in Atlanta.

Didn't they do an homage to Suicide Squad in an episode of Justice League? They had all the second stringers, including Captain Boomerang and a redesigned but still snooty version of The Clock King. And oh yeah, a girl named Plastique!

Hold on a tic…
Seth Green was in Batman: The Animated Series? Like, co-creator of Robot Chicken Seth Green? Funny, I thought that was Michael J. Fox.

Weird Science!

Well, if it tells you anything, they replaced her voice actress without anyone noticing.

I was saying "Boo-urns."
I mean, Boo-alin.
