Thanks for your info, Yojimbo. I've been following this thread for awhile. Looks like the releases that were scheduled for March 30 have been delayed. Any idea of when they might end up coming out?

After reading so many negative comments about the new Batman and Superman movie, I decided not to watch it any time soon. I was in the mood for an alternative Batman and Superman story to enjoy for the first time. I did 'research' on "Batman: The Brave and the Bold" (a series from which I've...

Okay, thanks guys. That makes sense. I guess I was just thinking 'too modern' about this. That's because it's common in cartoons (and even live action stuff) these days for lots of inside jokes to be deliberately placed in fleetingly seen newspapers (particularly on "The Simpsons"). And not just...

So I was watching "Bedevilled Rabbit" on the Looney Tunes Platinum Collection Vol. 1 and noticed something odd when I froze a frame. At one point near the beginning, Bugs is reading through a book of information about the Tasmanian Devil. On the last page (continuing from the previous page of...

*Sigh*, I'm really sorry to harp on the same things almost every week about this, but I can't help myself. We "Batman: The Animated Series" fans really got the short end of the stick when it comes to the AVClub writer assigned to write about the show we love. Read the very lovely and eloquent...

There aren't even any live action TV shows I consider better than "Batman: The Animated Series". I think the only animated works I'd consider superior are some of the classic Looney Tunes shorts from the 50s and some episodes in the classic seasons of "The Simpsons" (3-8). That's kind of like...

All good counterpoints, Revelator. Thank you for a spirited and stimulating debate. There are just a few things I want to clarify. I'm not saying "rich people don't have problems"...just that the problems of these two particular rich people are a whole lot less complicated and harder to...

Yeah, I'm not saying it has to be like a more epic story with bigger explosions or bigger action set pieces, I just meant it should show us something the show never has. In the case of "The X-Files", which is a live action show, it partially means using a bigger budget to create more enthralling...

I knew it! I knew that twerp was younger than me! That sure explains a lot. :D Actually it makes me less frustrated about his writing...it a'int fair to expect so much from such a rookie. :evil: I'm sorry to say "Batman: Mask of the Phantasm" doesn't do much for me. I didn't see the movie until...

He did have cameos on "Batman: The Brave and the Bold" (with King Tut!) when Green Arrow and Batman were stopping a jail break and during Bat-Mite's first episode. I doubt they'd use him in a bigger role, though.

That's a good point. I'd never considered that. Very eloquent, insightful, and true. I agree that the reviews were much improved this week. Sava seems to be inspired to write better by stronger episodes. He offers a nicely written acknowledgement of how beautifully portrayed Mad Hatter was...

:eek: "Strained" is putting it lightly. Ugh, that was horrible. This was one of his most disappointing reviews (in my opinion :D). Way, way too much recapping instead of analysis. The Clock King was a much more rich and memorable characterization than he gives it credit for (especially giving...

For the longest time I thought it was pronounced like "Amazon", just without the "n". That or people were just making typos forgetting the "n" and his name actually is "Amazon". When I found out how it's really supposed to sound, I figured "Amazo" just means "amazing guy". :D

It always amuses me when Sava over analyzes to such an absurd degree as he does here. It's like when there's a running gag in "Pretty Poison" about Harvey Bullock repeatedly leaving his desk, then immediately going back because he forgot a donut. Sava claimed it was some metaphor about how the...

Wow, a classic "Simpsons" writer doing live action ("Alvin and the Chipmunks" movies don't count :p). Neat-O! :D
