    • Batgirl, she was actually a partner/sidekick and not some weird love interest. Dammit Bruce Timm...

    Gotta agree with this. Especially with Croc, Riddler and Barbra. One of the few good riddler interpretation, despite the look.

    @avenging_x_bolt: Dick dumped her? Must have gotten mixed up in what happened in the post Justice League Unlimited DCUA timeline.

    @avenging_x_bolt: But that wasn't an episode, that was part of the Batman Beyond comic. Dick never appeared in the Batman Beyond show, he was just mentioned.

    @avenging_x_bolt: That's what you were referring to, not Batman Beyond? I see what you mean now, he did break up with Barbara there even if he didn't say it.

    Costumes. Action, somewhat. Batman TAS got rather mediocre around season 4. The characters looked like crap, and makes Batman The Brave and Bold look like a masterpiece of artwork.

    They are both pretty good. TAS had better writing/stories though. The Batman had more action and the cast was more lively in appearance and voice work. I like them both, but I watch TAS more because I like the Tim Burton Batman vibe it has.

    It's true the Riddler is creepier, but wether it's a good thing is up to debate

    Bane was better, the Riddler was better, Kevin Michael Richardson's impression of Mark Hamill was better, Commissioner Gordon not being in the show until the 56th season was better.

    Fans were not receptive to the awful art style and tone of the Batman. At first it tried its hardest to not be BTAS, but slowly just started being more like BTAS as the show went on. The Batman is a piece of shit.

    Just the fight scenes but that's not really saying much considering what animation was available for The Batman compared to BTAS. I don't know people are citing more reasons than that, I found The Batman to be rather disappointing in hindsight, and I used to watch it too.

    I honestly truly cannot thing of a single thing. I don't think the show was bad, but it got mediocre at times. Improved animation would be a given as per the time gap between animation techniques and I found the fight scenes dull given the style of the show.

    Honestly TAS is a solid 9/10 in my book.

    The Batman would be a 5/10.

    Still holds up. Though now Bruce banging Barbara seems more comical to me than it did then.

    To all those saying Riddler, no. Just no. John Glover's voice acting really defined the characters egotistical narcissm and Riddler Reformed is a really in depth look at the characters psychosis. The Batman did do things better but not Riddler.

    The Batman had Black Mask, which I still think is the best adaptation of the character we've gotten. Killer Croc was great too, Firefly and Hugo Strange as others have said. Man Bat too was alot of fun not sure if I'd say he was better but liked the direction they went with him. I think Penguin maybe was better too, enjoyed how he felt more active in some of it.
