nope!
Lol my brother (who was never a Spiderman guy, but watched Batman Beyond religiously with me) saw Into the Spider Verse and compared it to Batman Beyond.
LMAOi'd always assumed every night club in batman beyond was how my 20's was gonna be
lmfao, i couldnt have been more incorrect
I honestly can't say I was a fan of that period of animation. It was like the middle between the more human proportioned cartoons of the 80s and the more super stylized stuff of nowadays, under a layer of muted color grit. Are both of those cartoons done by the same art team? The eyes are getting me. They have very strange Klasky-Csupo eyes.What was it with the intros from that era? Same vibes from these two:
While we're talking about dark stuff from this show...
Are we going to just gloss over the fact that Ra's al Ghul took over his daughter's body and tried to seduce Bruce?
Just like how BTAS had a weird anachronistic 40s aesthetic, so too does Beyond have a retrofuturistic late 90s vibe
And it is glorious. That opening shot of Gotham holds up well.
True, but in the first three seasons, all the tv screens were black and white even though there were instances of more modern tech. Same with the tommy guns and clothing. Since it's the same continuity as the fourth season and the Justice League shows. That art deco aesthetic went beyond the architecture.It wasn't that anachronistic if you take for a fact that Gotham is a stand-in for actual New York, though. "Art Deco" (the official name for the aesthetic, if you were unfamiliar and curious) is all over New York, and as an aesthetic, it constistently keeps popping up everywhere since its 40's heydey, in a ton of different disciplines.
Architecture, obviously, but also in fashion, video-games, movies and other visual media because of how dramatic and distinct it is. My own introduction to it as a child was that Batman show, and I've had a fondness for it ever since (though it took many years until I learnt that it wasn't specifically made for the show).
I suspect younger people might have first really experienced it in stuff like "Bioshock" (which in turn borrows from specific New York-landmarks like the Chrysler-building and the Rockefeller building/mural).
