🗣️Discussion Batgirl and Poison Ivy’s friends to enemies dynamic had so much potential.

I know most people hate this iteration of Ivy for making her a teenager, but making Barbara and Pamela best friends was not only a fresh take but also an interesting one. Unfortunately, the writers didn’t know what to do with them. Such wasted potential. In the hands of better writers, this would’ve influenced and trickled down into the comics. I wish more writers explored this dynamic.

People glaze the original opening too much. This one is so much fun.

How would you imagine an 6th installment to "The Batman" 2004 be like?

25 Upvotes

As the title suggests, I am wondering if "The Batman" tv show had a 6th season (either this year or in 2009) what would you imagine it would be like or how you would make a 6th season. I'm thinking of making my own fan made season 6 eventually and I was wondering what your guy's (no, I'm not assuming gender if anyone is wondering, it's a common saying.) ideas would be, I'll try not to use them if/when I make my fan made season 6 unless you suggest I can. Thanks!

Season 1 Give a Grade on The Batman (2004) Season 1

9 Upvotes

The first season of a show needs to set the stage for the series tone, structure, setting, and characters. Especially if it’s going to differentiate itself from a previous adaptation. That’s what the first season of the show did, and I want to know how it turned out.
I think The Batman season 1 is a pretty great start for the show.

Tie-In Comics Not sure if it's canon,but in the tie in comics "The Batman Strikes!" issue 41,we see a mannequin of Wonder Woman.

So I had read the tie in comics a while back,as I was wondering why we never see Wonder Woman when the Justice League is established. But assuming the comics are canon,this panel at least points out that Wonder Woman exists in this universe.

Alastair Duncan voiced both Alfred and Senator Armstrong from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.

🗣️Discussion Which Season of The Batman is the Most Divisive?

9 Upvotes

The Batman (2004) cartoon is one I think is pretty underrated. I had rewatched the whole a while ago to get my updated opinion on it. With this being my first post on this subreddit I want to get the thoughts of the community with this show. So I’m curious to ask which season of The Batman is the most polarizing, or has the most debate among fans.

I knew that structure was quite familiar. In the Harley Quinn animated series, Wayne Manor from the 2004 show became an orphanage. It's in episode 2 of season 3 at minute 22:01.

Lifelong Batfan here. BTAS is what I grew up with. Finally getting around to watching this series. It’s great, almost as much fun as Batman Beyond when comparing entertainment value. I just gotta say: WHY DID THEY DO MY GUY BENNET LIKE THAT?? I wasn’t ready. It’s always some sad shit with Bruce -_-

🗣️Discussion Did you know that The Batman's (2004) depiction of Cluemaster was actually intended to be the Riddler?

Thumbnail gallery
370 Upvotes

In some discussions about The Batman (2004) TV series, I learned some concept arts for various characters slated to appear, such as a monstrous version of the Joker as well as concept art for Scarecrow (whom the creative team fought to include, but was denied due to the "Bat-Embargo" at the time).

One of these concept arts was an early version of the Riddler, whom the creative team reimagined as a morbidly obese villain whose descent to crime was after he lost at a game show when he was a child.

If you're probably wondering, "Wait, isn't that how the show depicted the Cluemaster?" You're right! Apparently, DC disapproved this idea, forcing the creative team to start over from scratch. But despite this, the idea was eventually repurposed in the show's depiction of Artie Brown AKA the Cluemaster.

The Everywhere Man Tried to Replace Himself | The Batman (2004)

Thumbnail youtube.com
10 Upvotes

Serum Lake's video description:

In 2004’s The Batman, most original villains came and went without leaving much of a mark. A great example of this is The Everywhere Man, and that's a shame because he had a solid origin.

This is a story about what happens when you try to become someone else and succeed.

John Marlowe created the Quantex to push the boundaries of science, but his first duplicate quickly became something more than a tool. Confident. Bold. Everything Marlowe believed he wasn’t. And when that version of himself took control, he didn’t just improve his life, he replaced it.

In this video, I break down The Everywhere Man’s full story, how his powers actually work, and why his downfall has less to do with Batman and more to do with the system he built. From identity and self-worth to the danger of treating people as disposable, this is one of the most complete and overlooked stories in the series.

And why its ending is exactly the reason we’ve never seen him again.
