Why isn't Beware the Batman talked about a little more in the bat fandom?
>>
>>152054614
It's very...eh
>>
>>152054614
>>152054638
yeah it looks pretty terrible, and it looked pretty terrible even at the time

the BTAS empty-city thing carried over so the streets of Gotham are usually empty, but it wasn't because they couldn't animate extras it was because they were spending all the money on animating the cape, which was very expensive then
>>
>>152054614
it was a blip.
not a bad blip, those are memorable. it was just a lot of.. almost understanding what to do, with almost great art, and just not pulling it together in the end.
>>152054703
naw i mean.. okay the low cranium thing is weird, but most characters looked mostly okay.
it's the weird choices. why is Alfred played by Ubu? why did they think they could advertise that the show would be allowed to have guns, knowing that the media will never keep its promises and will always manufacture more gun paranoia that makes you change it? why do a CG batman show at all?

Tried to do too many things, none of them well

the action is pretty smooth

Too weird for a lot of people, I liked it and Anarky was amazing when he started fucking with the League of Assassins.

I know you can’t can’t make Pyg a freak who drills holes in people’s heads in a kid show is just rather uninspiring. Still better than Caped Crusader
>>
kids were watching the cgi green lantern show instead
>>
>>152054614
focusing on lesser villains was a bold move but i think they pulled it off
making the first episode involve mr. pyg but literally ignoring everything about him from the comics was a mistake. i know it wouldn't be safe to tv, but why even include him
its almost a statement on how everyone in the show will be different but most of the characters are nobodies no one recognizes
the ongoing plot was well developed though
>>
>>152054614
Cartoon Network gave it a fucked up schedule and it only lasted one season. It didn't have enough time to grow an audience like the other Batman shows did.
>>
>>152056107
It was doing unironic Bat-wank by that point. It's better that it died before it got worse.
>>
>>152056281
No they were watching Korra
>>
>>152057029
Nobody was watching Korra

I didn't have the Hub network

Reminder that the show was gonna be darker and had actual guns.....until Aurora happened
>>
>>152057031
I was watching Korra
>>
>>152057036
It was pretty stupid considering by the time Beware aired, everyone forgot about Aurora.
>>
>>152054614
Because it didn't even manage to complete its run before being unceremoniously cancelled.
Make no mistake, it was sent out to die. They put it in an utterly garbage timeslot and refused to advertise it. We're lucky the rest of it was eventually released.
>>
because it's CGI and I don't want to watch CGI superhero cartoons. It's why I didn't watch that Green Lantern cartoon or the newest Spider-Man cartoon either. It just objectively looks worse 100% of the time. You want me to watch your show, make it a beautiful stylized 2D show with great animation. Not ugly blocky 3D slop.

Magpie was the only memorable thing about it
>>
>>152058998
Wild how this was in a kid's cartoon.
>>
>>152054614
You all should Beware the Batman.
>>
>>152054864
The gun thing was a very sudden and late change largely due to Aurora shooting at the Dark Knight Roses screening. It was a specific case where execs wanted to distance anything that could be seen as related to it.

hey, strippers are moms too y'know

Brave and the Bold was a very "meta" show, so I don't think it was genuinely engaging in Bat-wank so much as it was deconstructing it. Silver age DC was so off-the-walls that it was an environment where it made even less sense for a mortal in a bat costume to be able to stand toe-to-toe with every single threat faced, so the show sort of leaned into that. It's why we practically never saw Bruce Wayne.

Batman in BTAB was all about the myth and the legend of the cowl, rather than the man behind it. He was always prepared, always righteous, and always tried his hardest, which ultimately might be the most unrealistic concept of them all. But they explored it in an environment where it made sense. Fuck, in the musical episode, even the other heroes sing along with the villains about how much he irks them.
>>
I enjoyed Katana as a change of pace when it comes to sidekick
Though I think her costume needed more than just standard black
>>
>>152054614
Lasted one season, and it got put in a deathslot, came at a time when action shows were generally dying out.

I think its good, but it was very much just more early batman. It had a really good inter-episode arc but every show had that atp.
>>
>>152060471
You can get away with things as long as it is seen as bad
>>
>>152054614
I don't know.
