After all, the only difference between nude and clothed superheroes is usually the colour.<br /><br />By "guns", I'm guessing they meant actually shooting people. I remember BTAS being extremely rare amoungst cartoons in that the guns were ordinary, realistic firearms, rather than the GI Joe lasers that everyone else had.<br /><br />Still, I'm keeping my eyes out for future glass breaking.LiamKavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01996095233681105682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-45618096285029888722016-01-18T11:22:00.439-04:002016-01-18T11:22:00.439-04:00And here it is.

I think they were still trying to figure out what they were allowed to do. (There's a great picture in one of the making of guides showing everything they were told not to do. I wish I could find it, but I believe it involved a naked Catwomen crashing through a glass window whilst smoking a cigarette with Joker holding a gun to a kids head behind her whilst Batmas is choking someone. Strangely enough, they seemed to ignore the "breaking glass" rule fairly frequently.)LiamKavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01996095233681105682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-21029004058161229392016-01-14T07:09:48.218-04:002016-01-14T07:09:48.218-04:00Melonpool isn't quite the same thing though. A...Melonpool isn't quite the same thing though. At least with Ralph/Ralphie, they are good/evil clones so them having the same name is deliberate. Harveys Dent and Bullock though are too unrelated characters who have the same first name, a name which is said semi-regularly. That's extremely rare, and I dunno if it's ever come up as a plot point.LiamKavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01996095233681105682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-86713560428159961142016-01-14T04:42:46.485-04:002016-01-14T04:42:46.485-04:00The execution may not be perfect, but I think usin...The execution may not be perfect, but I think using a character that was new to most of the kids watching was a good idea--yes, it takes certain inspiration from the Burton films, but it's going to go in its own direction and feature a lot more than just Joker, Catwoman, Penguin, and Riddler.<br /><br />@LiamKav, the trope in question is "One Steve Limit." It's sad that I didn't have to look it up.<br /><br />@Bradley Walker, love me some Melonpool, and I probably wouldn't have even noticed the Sam/Sammy thing if Troop didn't keep lampshading it.

This was what caused his redemption, as he confessed what he'd been sent to do to Gordon and changed sides. I'll note that he genuinely liked Jason Todd, which is why his anti-vigilante attitude here cracks me up.American Hawkmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-76447920849983264992016-01-13T16:16:00.899-04:002016-01-13T16:16:00.899-04:00"Now, witness the firepower of this fully arm..."Now, witness the firepower of this fully armed and OPERATIONAL Batmobile! ...Sir."Andrew Gilbertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10604304361825660940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-23107288468381614922016-01-13T15:40:00.701-04:002016-01-13T15:40:00.701-04:00Now I'm imaging an alternative universe where ...Now I'm imaging an alternative universe where Ian McDiarmid took over playing Alfred.LiamKavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01996095233681105682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-4635087399267243942016-01-13T15:35:16.432-04:002016-01-13T15:35:16.432-04:00Pfft.

I always thought the character was supposed to look like a lazy, shifty slob, but he's actually a good cop (who, er, is still a bit of a lazy slob.)<br /><br />I thought that Gordon's partner in "The Dark Knight" was supposed to look like Bullock, but wasn't actually him because Bullock wasn't actually corrupt. I guess he could be a different character though.<br /><br />The Harvey thing is interesting, as it's extremely rare for two characters to have the same first name in a fictional setting. I vaguely recall there being a TV trope about it ("No Homers", maybe).<br /><br />Finally, Harvery is a bit of a cigar chain smoker in the comics. Can't have that in the cartoon, so it gets replaced him constantly chewing toothpicks. Eh, could be worse.<br /><br />Regarding the title sequence, Chris Sims does an excellent breakdown of it on ComicsAlliance, calling it the best title sequence on TV and saying how it tells you everything you need to know about Batman in 30 seconds. I was always upset that the Superman Animated Series never got a similar one.<br /><br />http://comicsalliance.com/ask-chris-78-why-the-batman-the-animated-series-opening-is/LiamKavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01996095233681105682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-81233645454793521892016-01-13T07:52:57.345-04:002016-01-13T07:52:57.345-04:00Thanks.
