Blog#8 From Comics, Shows, Movies, and Now Animated Series

Batman has been around for a long run, he had it's wars in history that might of end him; however, his was able to fight back. There's so many animated shows that were had and others that were cut before. Here's the link if you want to check the list of the post and what's yet to come. http://legionsofgotham.org/TOONStimeline.html.

To start off I well not talk about the cartoon shows before the one from 1992 there no differences from the 60's show. Batman the animated series started on  September 5, 1992 and end September 15, 1995 in Fox (Fox kids). They use the same theme music from the first two Batman films from Tim Burton's for the opening. The funny thing I never notice until a friend point it out for me, the word Batman never was shown on the opening. I really enjoy seeing the art work in the two seasons, on DVD the first season was split in two box sets. The place setting was in the 1940's, and when the voice actors and actresses record together just like a radio play.

Two years later on the WB (kids' WB)  The new Batman Adventures started September 13, 1997 and ended  January 16, 1999. The art style was different in this series from the last series even character had their own style to tell them apart, while in the new character design like about the same to each other, just change the color of their skin and hair style(in my point of view). This cartoon had 24 episodes while the other one had 85 episodes.  

Then in January 10, 1999 a future Batman was on T.V. Bruce is an old man and a teenager by the name Terry McGinnis takes over the new Bat suit. This was the first Batman series that has a teenager play the hero not the sidekick. This show only had three seasons and 52 episodes when it ended in December 18, 2001. The show ( and the animated series) still airs on The Hub network.  

  On September 11, 2004 The Batman aired but this cartoon does not follow the comics, the movies, nor the other animated shows. Jeff Matsuda was the character design who also designed for the Jackie Chan Adventures cartoon. In the show Batgirl came out before Robin, since another animated show[ at that time] had Robin called Teen Titans and having 65 episodes when it end in March 8, 2008. 

Batman: The Brave and the Bold  aired November 14, 2008 and the last episode will air on November 18, 2011 on Cartoon Network.In this show he teams up with other super heroes from the silver age in the 1970's comics (I might be wrong, I seen less then ten episodes, I need to catch up). The show will end with 65 episodes.

Coming in 2013 Beware the Batman on Cartoon Network. Batman will have a new sidekick called Katana and for Alfred Pennyworth will if Batman doesn't use guns, Alfred will instant. Professor Pyg will be the villain and other villains that maybe we haven't heard of, we will see in 2013.





I know I missed a lot in each series, I feel bad for not writing more but I'm still in mid-terms. On Wednesday on my weekly updates I'll finish my last thoughts on Batman.

I'm getting use to drawing on my laptop 

HAVE A HAPPY AND SAFE HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!

 See everyone on Wednesday and remember stay young.
