Tim Burton Doodles, Censor Notes, and the Legacy of Batman: The Animated Series

 

Batman: The Animated Interviews provides an insanely thorough collection of material on the beloved show, revealing many secrets. If you're not a Hasbro fan now, wait until you learn why Batman Beyond was cancelled. I discuss this week at CBR.

How Batman Beyond Paved the Way for an Animated Justice League

 

Superman's legendary first team-up with Batman Beyond was a landmark moment for the show and character, but not so much in the tie-in comic. I look at both this week at CBR.

The Batman Beyond Villains Foiled by DC's Lawyers

 

Adventure(s) Time continues, as I look at Batman Beyond and the Marvel parody villains DC's lawyers really didn't want making a return appearance.

The DC Animated Universe and All Those Royal Flush Gangs

 

Looking back this week at Justice League's "Wild Cards," which not only brought Green Lantern and Hawkgirl together as a couple, but began the DCAU tradition of fouled-up Royal Flush Gang continuity.

This week at CBR, I'm looking back on an early "Terry's classmate is causing trouble" episode of Batman Beyond.

Terry McGinnis has a shocking retcon (ah, secret) from his past. One a creator of the series refuses to accept. I look at the behind-the-scenes difference of opinion this week at CBR.

Did a Tie-In Comic Resolve a Danging Batman Beyond Plot?

This week at CBR, I'm revisiting Mr. Freeze's Batman Beyond appearance, and his final Batman Adventures story, which (maybe) sets the stage for that episode.

Batman Beyond - Epic Hero. Lousy Boyfriend.

This week at CBR, I revist "Once Burned," one of the more memorable Batman Beyond episodes...and a tie-in comic likely everyone's forgotten.

Batman Beyond at Twenty (!)

Batman Beyond turns twenty years old today! Feel free to reflect on the bizarre twisting of time as we all grow older. And, check out my retrospective on the series on CBR. 

Batman Beyond and the Arch-Nemesis that Didn't Catch On

I'm looking back on Blight this week at CBR, the guy who killed Batman Beyond's father, but didn't seem to become a major figure on the show.

These Two Didn't Make It Down The Aisle, Either

The Return of Batman Beyond & His Network-Mandated Sidekick!

The latest Adventure(s) Time, featuring another installment from Batman Beyond, and the beginning of the Batman/Max pairing.  (Also, didn't realize until just now how much Terminal resembles a Steve Ditko character on this cover.)

When Batman Beyond Took A ’90s Trend Too Far

My latest Adventure(s) Time post, featuring the beginning of the second era of Batman Beyond -- less corporate espionage, more high school drama that somehow involves supervillains.  Evan Dorkin, who co-wrote the episode, was nice enough to stop by the comment section, in case you're interested in his thoughts.

Adventure(s) Time - Revisiting One of Batman Beyond’s Earliest Foes

Yes, I'm making you relive that particular scene.  Anyone interested in more BATMAN BEYOND entries?
