I can't take Bat-Oswald seriously, especially when he's inner-monologing (didn't he watch The Incredibles?). It may be better than The Batman, but this show still has more cheese than the whole of France.

@Purple Dave: A little cheese is good for you. Seriously, talk to a doctor!

A little, perhaps (I can tolerate The Grey Ghost), but not enough to crush your house.

I don't like it anywhere near as much as the original, or anything through to the end of JLU. Those were the animated DC universe. This is just a cartoon.

@Indigen: That's kind of the point though. BatB isn't trying to fit into any sort of continuity, it's just out to come up with fun, outlandish, & ultimately disposable scenarios using the DC Universe characters. It does a good job of that, too.

So, what you're saying is that it's an ultimately disposable show?

@Purple Dave: 100% disposable, its just there to entertain not change your life. It's a kid's show, what do you want from it? Does everything on tv have to be intellectual and deep for you people? Perhaps you should consider watching a channel whose name doesn't begin with "Cartoon".

@choptop: BTW, I'm pretty sure the only reason this show exists in the 1st place is because they couldn't come up with any other premise to sell Blue Beetle action figures.

@choptop:
Really? Seems like a lot of trouble to go to when they an always just stick him in one lineup or another. I've seen Dark Knight action figures for Deathstroke and Firefly, which doesn't make any sense at all. Besides, there are at least three other Blue Beetle action figures out there (Ted Kord, 1st Appearance, and Kingdom Come-Elseworlds).

Great great show. so much fun.

But the thing that knocked me upside the head the most was how the show uses the best of batman mythology.

Red Hood was from one of the best Batman stories: 'The Killing Joke.' Anyone who read it and then saw this episode had to be absolutely blown away

not to be a comic book elitist but red hood was around before TKJ, right?

@van_line:
Yup. So was the fact that Red Hood became the Joker. What Moore added to the mix was the idea that the guy who would eventually become the Joker was not a criminal mastermind, but a mark who got conned into taking on the role so the real criminals could sell him out to the cops. That and the fact that even the Joker isn't sure anymore what his true origin is.

A Batman show made to be fun. Now why can't they make Batman movies with the same idea?

They tried that. It sucked balls, and went back for seconds.
