Everything.

>>91204696
I remember when people were throwing shits that classic Bat villains like Joker, Two-Face, The Riddler, etc wouldn't be in it.

>>91204696
It was great. Murdered by CN though. WB needs to stop them from killing good franchises.

>>91204696
The cowl. That's basically the worst thing it did.

>>91204696
CN

>>91204798
Two-Face ended up being in, though, as well as Ra's and Croc, plus Man-Bat as a hero.

It was fucking trash. People only gave a shit about it after it was cancelled.

>>91205833
Eh, it got threads after every new episode. That's a lot better than the current Marvel cartoons or even 2012 TMNT.

>>91204724
Did he ever got to tap that?

>>91204696
DC continues to work with CN.

They should just opt for Netflix the next time they want to make an animated show

Cons:
Executive meddling, prohibitively expensive production, uncanny valley unpopulated world syndrome, that fucking lobster dish, relatively unknown or less popular villains, reliance on toy sales

pros:
Magpie

What's wrong with lobster and fries, anon?

>reliance on toy sales

It didn't even get a proper toyline. At least GL:TAS had one in the works before the shitty movie ruined all of that.

I should have clarified that. The plan was to rely on toy sales to recoup the stupidly expensive production costs. Then the toy lines never really appeared and the show fizzled and died.

alfred was a better batman

>>91204696
no one wants to see Batman learn the ropes, he must always be the pinnacle of badassdom

>>91204696
Was "Beware the Batman" better or worse than "The Batman"?

>>91207316
They were both good in different ways. Both were better than animated series though.

>>91207316
Personally, I found it a bit better. It had more meat in its bones in terms of writing, story, and characterization. Batman being a newbie was actually taught out and used, and it had genuinely new concepts that didn't feel like just "Batman, but like Jackie Chan Adventures."

Then again, it's hard to determine how better or worse it could've gotten since it doesn't have as many episodes as The Batman.

muh nostalgia

>>91204696
I remember watching the first episode. Batman has a thug cornered and the thing that stood out to me most was how unafraid the thug was. Unafraid of Batman. I don't exactly recall what happened after. I think the thug might have actually escaped.

Yeah, I get that this is a Batman in his rookie years. But even so, Batman would have taken this introductory period to be as ruthless as possible in order to sew discontent among the criminal population.

They canceled The Brave and The Bold.

>>91209096
That show ended. It had a good run and a definite ending.

>>91208818
See >>91206312

It was the episode where Barbara and some guy go on a date while Batman and Katana are taking on Killer Croc.

I don't have a problem with the ending itself. I have a problem with it needing to end at all.

>>91204696
They spent the budget on animating the cape and had no money for anything else.

Basically, WB fucked up on funding and the showrunner didn't have the ability/see the need to ask for more.

It's tempting to laugh because this is obviously a flagship character but there's a precedent for killing Batman shows off-handed, even when they find an audience, so who knows. Maybe there's a feeling that the cartoons can take the character in directions corporate doesn't want.

Most shows tend to end at syndication number of 52 to 65 episodes. Brave and the Bold reached that number. That's a hell of a lot better than YJ, GL:TAS, and Beware got. Be grateful.

>>91204696
Trash 3D. If it was more realistic like DC Injustice 2 trailer it'd be great. In fact, why not Injustice 2 level 3D alongside BTAS/STAS/JL writing?

>>91209390
Because Blur-tier CGI is expensive as all hell, and considering how CN is shitting on all DC cartoons, it's not worth the expense.

>>91209486
Can't you just kidnap them? I mean how hard would it be to kidnap, enslave hundreds of animators, and make a series? Keep them on Cuba or whatever.

>>91208084
The laser guns were forced on the crew after Aurora.

>>91209890
Not to mention The Batman had them as well. So did Spider-Man: TAS.

>>91204696


The main problem was that CN had a serious hate-on for the DC Nation block, which they considered to be forced on them by the higher-ups at Warner Bros. They took every opportunity to undermine it, and BtB and Young Justice were both victims of this infighting.

Magpie, Anarky and League of Assassins had good episodes. Didn't care for the rest.

>>91210032
Spider-Man and The Batman were kids shows on network TV, so Broadcast Standards required them to have laser guns.

Beware was a cable show, so Standards didn't apply. Nothing was stopping them from using realistic guns, but when the Aurora shooting happened, CN panicked and made them change it at the last minute.

This meant they had to reanimate a whole bunch of scenes very quickly, which drove the budget up. Then later, CN cancelled the show because it had gone over budget. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I didn't care much for Anarky but I did like his theme. Shame it can't be found in decent quality.

being crazy is different then being a jackass

>>91204696

Bland as hell and coming out when people were sick to death of Batman.

Hell, even though it was dogshit, The Batman at least was interesting by how dogshit it was.

>>91208084
>>depth sucked out of all villains replaced with generic "IM THE BAD GUY"

Here's how I can tell you didn't watch it, because the writers put way more effort on Riddler the usual.

>>91209380

I just finished BatB and I'm not sure if it's just me, but the recurring cast was both really well-written and attractive. Like, they were all husbando and waifu tier.

>>91208765
The difference being that's an alternate personality that doesn't show up often. Harv in Beware is always a jackass. The end result is that Harv loses the tragedy of having a split personality take over. All that changed about Beware Harv is his face got messed up.

Did Brave and The Bold seriously predict Batman v Superman?

Or has the "Superman Buster" armor always been a thing?

Also someone should add AU Red Hood to that list. He was fucking dope.

Batfags are cancer.
The showrunners hid all the action and drama in the second half of the season, which never was properly aired because CN seemed pretty set on sabotaging the show anyway.

>>91204696
I did enjoy that they used some of the lesser-used villains, like Humpty, Anarchy and that Professor Pyg showed up. but sadly, I just felt like the show only began "getting its identity" and finding its rhythm towards the final couple of episodes.

And if I'm brutally honest, I'm not a fan of the overall design-choices they did on a lot of the people.

>>91212152
It's always been a thing.
