Deathstroke is not the respectable B lister he is today without Manu Bennett.
It's taking these D and C list villains, reimagining them, giving them depth, making them badass, and in some cases, elevating them in the cultural eye. Arrow is literally doing the exact same thing. Without Arrow, I honestly think we would have received a very different For one thing, the aspect that Batman TAS is most praised for, the villains. CW's portrayal of Oliver Queen is, in the eyes of many people, their favorite character on TV right now.Īnd what Arrow did for action scenes on live action TV can't be disregarded. TAS Batman has sparing moments of character and depth, and when they're there they're really good, but half the time he's a stoic mary sue. Like Deathstroke, Green Arrow himself has been elevated to being a respectable B lister. What I like most about Arrow over Batman is it's treatment of the main character.
So even in those seasons of downtime, we had characters like Laurel and Thea who were developing and being awesome, and that at least gave the show some degree of genuine quality even at its very darkest point. Then we've also got Merlyn, Damien Darhk who was below a Z lister, Brick, recently Prometheus, Nyssa al Ghul, are all awesome characters now.Īnd sure Arrow had a couple seasons of downtime, but it's also a serialized and continuous story, unlike TAS.
I'll admit Bane was a bit iffy in TAS, but he was done justice in " The New Batman For one thing, the aspect that Batman TAS is most praised for, the villains. Robin's Reckoning (Part 1) is a personal favorite of mine, it even won an Emmy for best half hour or less Program. it gave them humanity, grounded them, explained their origin in beautiful way, explained their motives better than any modern CBM movie I've seen. Mr Freeze, clay face, Joker, Two Face, Killer Croc, Harley Quinn, Riddler, Catwoman. The character development wasn't focused on Batman at all, it focused more on his rogues gallery. It revolutionized Batman in way rivaled of The Dark Knight Returns, it didn't focus on it's heroes but more on its villains. I watched Batman TAS both as a child and twice as an adult, and i loved it more as an adult. Spider-Man had massive character development, a continuous, evolving story, fantastic villains and iconic voice acting from everybody. This is the campiest fight scene I've ever seen. And besides Conroy and Hamill, the voice acting ranged from completely forgettable, to sometimes downright embarrassing! Like squeaky Bane. Episodic, little character development, way more tame and childish than care to admit. but no, it never gets as bad as that kiddy drivel I just watched where the fight choreography consists of Batman using the same leg suplex three times in a row.īatman TAS is so overrated. Arrow at its best is some of the best television I've ever experienced. You know those self righteous types, the pseudo-high culture type who will laugh at you for watching a cartoon and thinks that comic books are for kids? That Batman TAS scene is what they have in mind when they're making that judgement. The villain is a squeaky Lucha Libre with almost no character, and the fight choreography consists of awkward and stilted movements, the environment randomly turning into cartoon rubber, and Batman using the exact same leg suplex move three times in a row until Bane awkwardly grabs him and throws him. Your spiteful attempts to pointlessly insult a show I like just because I disagreed with your opinion on a cartoon aren't effective, because you're completely objectively wrong.
