Is BTAS still the definitive version of the Batman mythos?

No

No. Just that B:TAS sucking off got old.

What would you prefer we suck off, user?

Pretty much, with Brave and the Bold covering the zanier, more light hearted silver age era perfectly well though. But even that had some strong dramatic moments. Still this just captured so many elements and nailed down so many eras. I'm not sure anything compares onscreen to it yet. Perfect voice casting and revitalized so many villains, created a few characters that were interesting enough to make the jump to comics and have lived on there long after the series ended. Not to mention it was the foundation of all the spinoffs that drove a universe. It can still after all these years get tie-in comics and support a toyline. It's a juggernaut almost 30 years in.

Just wish people would open up more to other Batman comics, cartoons, movies, games, etc. I love B:TAS, but it kind of becomes a crutch for a lot of people to limit their knowledge of the character and his world to just that.

Yet you have nothing to offer in its place? Nothing at all?

And after this Mr Freeze became an one-note character constantly whining "MUH NORA"

except in The Batman thank god

>The Batman
oh boy

They do though. Today'd Batman's image is like some sort mash up of Arkham games-DCAU-Nolanesque thing, but with the DCAU Batman sort of as the foundation of all of it. Few people read comics, so there's point complaining about it versus millions that consume other media.

>definitive
No, it doesn't even portray Batman as insane.
>inb4 implying
Batman's mental health issues have went on to become an integral part of his character over the last few decades. Any new run or adaptation that tries to take itself seriously features this theme nowadays. Even Beyond and JL jumped on that, and they came out several years after BTAS.

Batman wasn't even insane in JL or Beyond. He literally quit being Batman over a health issue and never pushed to come back because he thought it was just fitting to hang it up. He was alone because he was too stubborn to allow himself happiness, like how he loved Diana, but would never fully pursue that possibility. His problems are things people can empathize with.

If anything that's probably why people gravitate more towards DCAU Batman because they didn't need to go into him being some suicidal cutter that is super needy of Catwoman. DCAMU Batman is wholly unlikable. He's just robotic, autistic and crazy with zero charm.

For casuals? No that’s the Arkham games

>Batman wasn't even insane in JL or Beyond.
>literally calls himself Batman in his head

Yes. And the tie-in comics that go with it.

I'd say so. It's pretty iconic and very well loved.

There is no difinitive batman, but if you had to pick one this would be the closest you could get.

It’s not just the way they handle characters and such. In the commentary they talk about how they use black and white tv next to super technology to give the show a timeless feel that seems like it can take place whenever. Tommyguns and laserguns were partially censorship but also provide the same effect.

The show can be comedy, tragedy, scifi, horror, mystery, holiday special, and it all feels natural. They run the gamut. Most of all though, it feels like an old school serial adventure series. It builds not only on the near century of batman comics before it but also the crime detectives and westerns that inspired hero comics. But there’s also a healthy dose of flash gordon esque scifi influence.

They’re also plenty creative and inventive with their own original takes.

There is no definitive batman, but this is the closest youll get. It has a quality that feels both dated and timeless.

Fun Fact: To save money on ink, the show was drawn on black sheets of paper.

Maybe when I was five.
He’s probably either the Nolan or Burton version to most casuals.

For me it’s the Doug Moench/Kelly Jones arc where they gave him giant flappy ears and made him a vampire.

cmon you faggots mean to tell me you actually like this fucking cartoon more than Morrison’s run or Miller’s or Starlin or whoever the fuck else? Muh nostalgia for teh win i guess

I need to research it sometime. it's been so long.

>or Miller’s

Wut? Eveything Miller made after TDKR was pure crap
