Batman Beyond Coming to Blu-Ray on October 29th
- Thread starter Spectromixer
- Start date
Justice League never clicked for me as much as the solo shows, tbh.
Static would probably be between JLU and JL for me. I need to give it a rewatch though.
Batman TAS > Batman Beyond > Justice League Unlimited > Justice League > Superman TAS > Static Shock
I like Static a lot but I will say the animation is an absolute step down in comparison to the others.

Aww yiss, been waiting for this announcement.

OK, y'all better buy multiple copies!

Is it really a hot take when it's cannon in the mainline DC universe though?
Can we get Superman TAS in HD now, please?
Not without Paul Dini will I accept this.
I hope all the cel animated episodes from the first series are safe. Would be a damn shame if the original negatives were mishandled.
I just want an ep where Terry teams up with Dick Grayson and we get 48 minutes of Dick shit talking Bruce. Why 48 minutes? Because it needs to be a two parter.
Lol, Timm lookin to make a down payment on a new beach house.
I'm still buying it.
Absolutely. IMHO it's better than TAS in many ways. It has a more condensed run that allows it to have many highs that are just as or maybe even higher than TAS and far fewer lows, none of which are as bad as some of TAS's lows. I do love TAS, but BB is the better show, IMO, because they had less to stick to and could go their own route doing their own thing and it paid off in every way possible. They took some major risks with some things right at the start of the series, the first few minutes of it even, and it was well-done.
TBH, I'd want both because they're actually a little different in places. The uncut one is definitely better/darker, but the TV cut isn't exactly bad and has some different connotations to it, even.
This. The JL episodes later in the series are solid proof of this.
Hm, just thinking, but will they include any of the episodes from JLU that went to the future? Epilogue, in particular, is all about Terry anyway.
I'm fine with pretending the Batman Beyond related parts of Epilogue don't exist
BLASPHEMY! HERETICAL! LIES!
Eh, whatever, I like what it was and where it went.
I mostly just think the idea of
Terry being Bruce's biological child
was a really unnecessary addition to the story. The stuff with Bruce and Ace though.... man
OH MY GOD please everyone buy this as well! Holy hell S4 of Batman Beyond would be fucking amazing!!
Except that it was fairly clear, after everything, that it was the case. Both of Terry's parents have red hair, yet both of their kids have black hair? Hell Superman comments about how much Terry is like Bruce at the end of the JL episodes. The entire series ends up with a bit of a different tone once you know this, too. Hell, this is totally something Waller would do, the way she would do it and how it would all fall apart.
I rather liked it, but yes, the part with Ace was good too. It really is, entirely, everything fitting into place as it should.
Batman Beyond without Paul Dini, Alan Burnett, or Andrea Romano? You guys don't want this.
Though I'd be curious to see how cheap the animation would look if they did Batman Beyond today, considering the current state of DC animation.
Y'all don't want this without so much of the key creative talent behind that made this (and really all these shows) work.
Never forget this shit...
Honestly I think Timm is kind of messing with fans, he does this often (like when that shitty Batman and Harley film came out, he said more B:TAS could be possible if it sold well).
He's expressed in multiple interviews that he doesn't have a desire to go back to the old shows.
*Wails in electric guitar*
Awesome that these old animated shows are getting a proper HD release.

The combination of this dumb plot twist and Terry getting his ass kicked by giant rats does not make me look back on this series fondly.
I watched the entirity of this, but aside from the movie, I remember like 2 or 3 episodes and that's it.
I know I really enjoyed it though, so I'll have to pick this up.

I bounced off Beyond quickly (2-8 episodes). I liked the style but thought the stories weren't interesting. What was I missing?
Came here to make this exact shitpost.
Everyone has to buy this!! This show cannot end as a segue into a lame ass fugitive show with a robot. (Yes I know it's not technically the last episode)
