We got some INCREDIBLE episodes, my favorite being, “Almost Got ‘Im”, where Killer Croc says of his turn at almost killing Batman that he threw a rock at him:

Which is addressed in an early episode of Batman Beyond, when Sonic was using super-ventrilloquism to try to trick Bruce Wayne into thinking he might have gone crazy.

Terry McGinnis is not Batman. Batman is the guy he is talking to.

Its been said elsewhere but i think part of the reason that TAS’s version of Batman is widely considered the best is because he was also compassionate. You see a consistent theme throughout the show: he always, always gave even his most dangerous foes a chance to back down and surrender. While the rest of Gotham is…

There is a whole generation who grew up with Kevin Conroy as “their” Batman (I’m one of them). We have raised our kids on the Timmverse and hold this to be the best interpretation of Batman and his ancillary DC universe.

“Pure-bloods! Don’t forget that too, we need pure-blood Americans!”

Hateful Eight deserves a nod.

Right, but remember that Kobe was also drafted straight out of HS and wasted no time in winning championships.

Much better than the George Michael Sports Machine

Kevin you’re right that Pat Riley deserves some of the credit, but couldn’t some of this also be due to the fact that LeBron is in his 30's now and is much more mature than he was right out of high school?

How is Dan Gilbert’s fart machine not the lede here, Kevin?
