TAS strikes such a great balance tonally - it can be creepy and psychologically engaging but it doesn't do it in a hamfisted I R SERIOUS ADULT MATERIAL way, it makes no pretenses to realism

yeah the clayface episodes, for example, are totally silly and melodramatic, and yet i find them gripping and (in a weird way) kind of moving

HARDAC is my boy

hardac batman was great

some days i would say it's the best of all batman movies

I've never seen Phantasm but I would wholeheartedly believe it's one of the only two good Batman movies ever

"This town needs an enema"

some days you can't get rid of a bomb

lol

the neo-fleischer with a dash o' toth art style, music, commitment to mood and atmosphere, great voice acting (how perfect is perlman's clayface) all go a long way. it does owe something to burton's batman in tone and style, but the writing is so much better. it was unembarrassed to be a children's entertainment, but it didn't talk down to kids either

it was unembarrassed to be a children's entertainment, but it didn't talk down to kids either

was reflecting the other day that my fav tv series from growing up were like this - batman TAS, tiny toons, exosquad, animaniacs

exosquad is still maybe my all time favorite cartoon

if i had three wishes they would be peace on earth, batman: tas on netflix instant, and more wishes

what was the future batman one

batman beyond

exosquad was my fucking jam back in the day dude. that shit blew me away, there wasnt nothing else like it

haha yup, it's all on hulu I think http://www.hulu.com/search?q=exosquad

I was so happy the day like 5 years ago when I found a torrent of exosquad .rm's even though they were .rm's

the tiny toons and then animaniacs pop culture madlibs style of writing just comes off as so hacky and lame now. loved it back then because it made me feel clued in, but it doesn't hold up

cant think of a joke? just make a reference to a random celebrity and ship it off to the worst animation studio in korea. steven spielberg put his name on this crap

freakazoid was the shit though

freakazoid, like the tick, was a little above my pay grade at the time

still kinda mystified that there was a live action tick show?

yes

i approve of BTAS derail

the tick cartoon did a great job of capturing that 90s independent comics feel. i never watched the live action one but yes it is incredibly weird that it existed

It was on Netflix last time i saw. Pretty awesome. Puddy from Seinfeld is the perfect Tick.

it was unembarrassed to be a children's entertainment, but it didn't talk down to kids either

superhero movies should strike this tone imo, viz superman 1
