Wait, so was this Batman (the movie): The Animated Series, or

It was an animated adaptation taking elements from pretty much every version of the character, so it's the animated series of both the comic and the movie.

It's a fusion of both, a perfect fusion no less.

It was Batman (the concept): The Animated Series

It was based on the characters of Batman comic books, but using influences at the time of the then current (and incredibly popular) Burton movies (Cobblepot being fat dwarf with flipper hands, blond Selina Kyle, Danny Elfman soundtrack)

They only used the main theme from Elfman's OST for the OP and nothing else, in the actual show Shirley Walker's theme was used.

And I fucking love the music she did for TAS.
It was half the experience for me.

Well, she did a beautiful job in taking the influence of that main theme and meeting the challenge head on. I guess I should say "Elfman inspired", but that still slights her contribution. Either way.

She didn't take shit from Elfman other than her new music being in similar style so as to not feel "off".
You could mix her and Elfman's music together and neither would ever feel out of place because of how perfectly they match in styles.

In the eyes of hardcores it was DKR and Year One, in the eyes of casual normies it was movie that led to creation of TAS. Also Byrne did same thing as Miller did with Batman, but with Superman, made him more compelling and badass character, it's that Superman movie by Burton never made and character stucked for a long long time in the eyes of normies as Reeve's version. Thanks to based Zack Snyder true Superman finally came in.

Those features look black. It's like he was colored lighter last minute and poorly redesigned

I always liked that Dr. Caligari-esque Penguin design, especially compared to that TNBA version that really took the "criminal menace" out of him.

We're getting Billy Dee Two-Face in the Lego Batman Movie.

When casting for the Joker, the actors were specifically told "don't think Nicholson." It took influence from Burton the same way it took influence from alost everything at the time, but wasn't an adaptation of the movie continuity.

>>84953206
It took influence from a lot of things, the movie included.

But it also adapted some comic stories pretty faithfully and even drew from the Fleischer Superman shorts for tone
