It's Never Too Late - Batman: The Animated Series - FIRST TIME WATCHING REACTION - LiteWeight Gaming 

One of my favorites too, not all the villans of Batman have super powers, the first ones were "Mafiosi" and such

@@mmxxiii9503 those are some of the best enemies IMO. Batman the long halloween is a very mafia driven comic and one the most popular. The animated movie was also so good and a nice detraction from the usually super powered beat ‘em ups

@@streetsdisciple0014 a few of people highly recommended "The long Halloween", and also it gives us an insight that not all of them needs to be in Arkham so they could be in trouble

@@mmxxiii9503 the crazy one that are deemed “insane” and unfit to stand trial go to Arkham. The rest of em go to black gate prison. However, well connected mafia members usually make bail pretty quick. Wish they’d do a live movie focusing solely on Batman and the MOB like the good-fella’s or the god father.

@@streetsdisciple0014 like they did in Batman year one? That would be nice

Only Mask of the Phantasm and Subzero are included in the boxset.

@@MS85Hart Dang it. She will have to download the last movie somewhere.

She was born in 1992 like me when it came out and she said she didn't have cable as a kid so she couldn't watch it.

This is the Production order. The order they were made in and intended to be viewed by the makers of the show. :)

The dvd order and the HBO max order are entirely different here in the US.. I just checked/compared my volume 1 Batman TAS dvd set with HBO Max order and they're all jumbled up on Max ( On Leather Wings at episode 3 instead of episode 1, Two Face at episode 17 and 18 instead of episode 10 and 11, etc.)

I think in pre Crisis comics Thorne tried to kill Hugo Strange but Strange survived and used his knowledge of psychology to drive Thorne insane by making him think Strange's vengeful ghost was haunting him.

@@Xehanort10 Yes, that was all collected in the trade paperback called “Batman: Strange Apparitions.”

Batman doesn't have any big 4 who everyone knows, he has a very large well known rogues gallery, in a close contest w Spider-Man and the X-Men for best in comics.

But that said your actual point is correct. One of the reasons this is the definitive Bat is that it isn't just the all-star enemies or even supervillains in general, they include a ton of underworld and crime stories and build up the entire cast of Gotham criminals. And they mix the costumed and the uncostumed criminals perfectly into the world, wo sacrificing (as Chris Nolan did) the comic book qualities of the costumed villains. They give an internally plausible and consistent story world where all these kinds of villains can co-exist and even interact and play big parts in each other's stories. Nolan had to make his costumed villains overly 'realistic' to do this. Burton, the non-costumed villains were too unrealistic. Only this show (and some runs of the comics) get it all perfect.

@@paulwt9783 at the time of the shows first airing in the 90’s the average person still only knew of the Joker, Penguin, Riddler and Catwoman because the 1960’s Batman show was still for the average casual person the definitive version of Batman. Very few people knew of Mr Freeze, Bane, Scarecrow, Ra's al Ghul, Clay Face, Two-Face, Man Bat, Ventriloquist/Scarface ect outside of a few hardcore comic book readers, those villains just weren’t as famous because of that. The animated series gave just as much love to them as the big four from the 1960’s and made the other versions household names in pop culture for the average person. I was 21 when the 92 series first aired and it was huge, beating out Oprah in the ratings at times.

@@noirgatherer i remember how big it was, you are mischaracterizing the notoriety of various characters tho. Harvey Dent was literally the DA in Tim Burton's Batman, and was likely planned on becoming Two-Face had he stuck w the series. As it was they had Two-Face and Mr Freeze and Poison Ivy and Bane all as villains in 90s Batman movies. the 'average person' doesn't know any comic book character until/unless that character appears in mass media such as tv or film. that isn't really relevant. the characters you name were not obscure to comic book readers. this would be like claiming Galactus isn't generally well known or a major villain, bc he's never really appeared onscreen yet. the comics are not just the original medium, they are a major medium. they didn't used to be minor subsidiary obscure source material but major media unto themselves. The Batman movie of Burton wasn't a big phenomena bc people remembered the campy tv show from the 60s, but bc they had been reading the comics for 50 years. and Bane btw is a particularly bad example bc he was barely in the cartoon and only grudgingly. his fame was entirely comic book based. the comics were big deals.

@@paulwt9783 your missing my point. I was talking about being famous pop icons that were well known outside of the fandom. Many of the villains like scare crow and clay face were in cartoons as far back as the 70’s but never rose to the level of fame as the big 4 had. the average non superhero fan wouldn’t know much about Manbat but would know who the Joker was in the same way they would know who Andy Warhol or Groucho Marx was. I was talking cultural fame. The animated series rose the others to that level. It made Mr Freeze a beloved villain when he had just been a two dimensional gimmick before.

Definitely. With Batman as the ghost of Christmas Past/Present/Future. Too bad this wouldn't work on Rupert Thorne or most of the rogues.

The Gotham City song on the Batman & Robin soundtrack was always funny because a city of justice, peace and love Gotham certainly ain't.

Joker's Favor is episode 22 in the Production order she is using so she'll get there soon enough with how often she's been uploading these. :)

@@carn9507 next monday if im counting right

Stromwell makes one other appearance. A flashback scene in Robin's Reckoning with his nephew Tony Zucco

Batman: what Pokémon did you catch Joker?

No it's not all over the place. This is the production order which is also the DVD order. Other places use the airdate order which itself is screwy because it had The Cat and The Claw Part 1 as the episode 1 but Part 2 as episode 8, whereas in production order they are episodes 15 and 16 as intended. Episode 1 of production order is On Leather Wings as it should always be. :)

@@carn9507 No I know, I mean all over the place as in the tone switching from one episode to the next and not knowing if it's gonna be a serious or lighter one. I do think this is a good order for watching at least so far, thanks for explaining though.

@@roopetoivanen Oh ok. Sorry, I just seen other people thinking she's picking the episodes completely at random when she's not. Have a good weekend. :)

@@carn9507 Yeah I gotcha, no problem. You too!
