JJ Abrams already proved he doesn't understand Star Trek or Star wars. I don't know why anybody trusts him with any IP

[micpere]

I feel people give Bruce Timm way too much credit for the success of the DCAU. At the end of the day, he's just a artist. Not taking away from his style made BTAS iconic, but the writers like Paul Dini, Alan Burnett and Dwayne McDuffie made those shows memorable.

What happened to Bruce Timm?
Paul Dini's absence, that's what.

[Horneroid]

Bruce Tim did not write BTAS. Paul Dini and the rest of the crew were the brains behind that show. Bruce just made the art work.

[MarioLopez-rnbs]

0:59 you forgot to mention Batman Beyond. Not sure why that’s bothers me so much but that show was awesome and deserves credit

[thefanwithoutaface]

My guess, he needed the other writers of Batman TAS to keep him in check.

There was no need to make penguin a woman. The batman universe has plenty of women ... heros and villians... in it already.

[ketienne]

HBOmax passing on this was a big sign this show wasn't going to be good.

[QSpark]

Paul Dini is the Bill Finger to Bruce Timm's Bob Kane

[Devilsblight]

Penguin isn't trans here. They LEGIT genderbent Penguin into a woman.

[RIFT]

Gender swapped Penguin into a woman.
Race swapped Jim & Barbara Gordon black.
Harley Quinn is an Asian lesbian.
I’m out.

[CannonKnight]

A lesbian interracial couple in the 1940s, and one of them is an Asian Harely Quin? If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I would have thought someone was joking about how woke things could get.

[rdghst]

Wait!!! They made Harley ASIAN... And then dressed her in a YELLOW COSTUME?!

[StarcrossedFlash]

I rewatch Justice League and Justice League Unlimited all the time because they’re freaking amazing. Starcrossed and the Cadmus arc are peak fiction.

What the hell was this?

[dkirby]

What happened to Bruce Timm is that he doesn't have someone like Paul Dini. The Animated Series is largely credited to Bruce Timm but he wasn't the only one who made it what it was. We have seen what he does on his own. Batman and Harley Quinn = Harley sleeps with Nightwing while he is tied to her bed. Killing Joke = Batman and Batgirl have sex on a roof despite the fact that this is his friend's daughter, she is considerably younger than he is, depending on the continuity she has dated Dick, and he has enough discipline to not cross those lines. Bruce Timm just did these things to satisfy his own fetishes. I remember the commentary for the Superman Doomsday animated movie. When it came to the scene where Lois makes out with Lex Luthor, Timm said that they did it just because it felt so wrong. Bruce Timm is a weird guy who does weird shit and needs someone to handle the scripts, not him.

I genuinely don’t know why people were excited about this, Bruce Tim has been creatively bankrupt for about a decade or more now, JJ Abrams poisons every IP he touches, and Matt Reeves is a pretentious director with style over substance

In the series 'Oswalda' Cobblepot (the character's actual name, I kid you not) appears to have two natural born sons - as in sons she gave birth to - so this version of the Penguin is a biological woman for some reason (she goes on to have one of those sons killed in cold blood, and then tries to kill the other one, because one of them betrayed her criminal enterprise - safe to say she isn't going to win any 'mother of the year' competitions). Also, in the comics and broader source material, the Penguin is called the Penguin as a snide nickname referring to his very short stature, rotund build, and generally unprepossessing appearance that loosely resembles a penguin. It is a term of contempt he took for his own as a mob nickname used to inspire fear. In this version, however, the Penguin thing appears to be part of Cobblepot's schtick; a persona she adopts as a component of her cabaret act. She is a tall professional performer (at least in the legitimate side of her business) who is confident, comfortable in her own skin, given to flirting with members of her audience, and is presented as a domineering, somewhat extroverted personality in complete contrast to what the Penguin should be.

[williamedwards]

98% critic score.
What a f*cking joke.

[SovereignSmurf]

Two things were unintentionally hilarious in this show 1.) Catwoman summoning a Black Panther on Batman mid jewel-heist. Did she train it to hide in the shadows and sneak it into the museum off-screen?

2.) Batman hiding on the ceiling to elude the cops...in a hallway engulfed in smoke from the building actively burning down. With no respirator.

[jacoblthesheriff]

This show made me start rewatching the animated series. BTAS is literally better in EVERYWAY. Animation, characters, grit, i cant think of one area this show succeeds.
