@nomither6 Man, that’s a throwback and a half. 00s cartoons were definitely the best. I love how you mention Fairly Odd Parents but only before they ruined it with that stupid baby 😂
Decent retrospective look at Batman Beyond. The show passed me by originally, if it was ever on a steaming service I sub to I would definitely give it a watch.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
I have watched that series so many times, as a kid and later as an adult too. I can totally see how it passed people by back in the day; especially when superheroes were less big of a deal. It was like watching a very 90s comic book in motion.
@JohnnyShoulder I think I've said this a few times over the past year, but that show's Blu-Ray boxset is still sitting sealed on my shelf, and I need to get around to it.
I'm certainly guilty of skipping it as a kid, because I looked at it and thought, "That's not Batman."

@RogerRoger I've had it my Amazon wishlist since Dec 2019. I think I'm more likely to get the Animated Series, as that was something I watched when I was younger.

@RogerRoger Bruce Timm’s also doing a new Batman show! Don’t really know how we’ll get it over here since it’s an HBO Max thing but it’s definitely cool that they’re doing another one.
@nessisonett I think they have lost some content since Disney+ launched the Star channel, but all the HBO stuff they already had is most likely tied down in long standing contracts. Some HBO shows like Pennyworth and Doom Patrol you can get on Starzplay, which is a paid extra channel through Amazon Prime, so it may go on there.

@JohnnyShoulder Oh, I'd absolutely recommend you start with The Animated Series, yeah. After seeing bits and pieces here and there, I got the Blu-Rays when they were released a couple years back, and binge-watched the whole thing. Some superb, superior Batman, right there.
@nessisonett Yeah, NowTV can suck it. There'll always be hope for some form of physical media somewhere down the line, I suppose (which reminds me, I need to grab Zack Snyder's Justice League at some point) although an alarming number of made-for-streaming shows never materialise, or at least show no sign of doing so in a timely manner. Fingers crossed, eh?
"We want different things, Crosshair. That doesn't mean that we have to be enemies."
Batman: The Animated Series is the best superhero TV show ever made. Hit the right balance of serious drama and comic book camp, IMO, which is right where Batman should be: somewhere in the middle between Adam West and The Dark Knight Returns. Hamill's Joker is legendary at this point, and pretty much the canon depiction of the character for a lot of fans.
I really liked Nolan's interpretation of that universe, but that always felt like its own thing to me.
@Kidfried There was a long period in Batman's comic book history where that wasn't the case. Although it's definitely unique in its own ways.
Anyway, it's not so much the "broodiness" as it is the way characters were interpreted. The Nolanverse doesn't feel like the comics, or the animated movies, or anything else Batman related.
This song works on so many levels for this trailer.
Can't blame them for giving that iconic roll to Mark Hamill, it clearly fits.
Edit: Turns out this is more of a sequel than a reboot.
"The war for Eternia culminates in Masters of the Universe: Revelation, an innovative and action-packed animated series that picks up where the iconic characters left off decades ago. After a cataclysmic battle between He-Man and Skeletor, Eternia is fractured and the Guardians of Grayskull are scattered. And after decades of secrets tore them apart, it's up to Teela to reunite the broken band of heroes, and solve the mystery of the missing Sword of Power in a race against time to restore Eternia and prevent the end of the universe."
@LieutenantFatman That's an awesome trailer. I've just texted it to my brother, who's a big fan; am sure he'll go nuts for it. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

No problem matey, apparently it's the same team that put together Castlevania which was incredible, so we're definitely in for a treat. Just uh, don't read the comments.
So goddamn excited that the next Castlevania series will be focusing on the Rondo of Blood and presumably Symphony of the Night story with Richter, Maria and presumably Alucard returning
As someone whose favorite pre-SOTN title is Rondo of Blood I'm really excited to see how they adapt it with the quality of writing behind the Netflix series
Having Sypha and Trevor give birth to Richter before Simon is an interesting deviation from the game story arc but I'm all for it. Hope we get some rearrangements of that legendary OST from Rondo of Blood like Slash, Opus 13 and Divine Bloodlines
@nessisonett I don't think Rondo's bullsh*t comes close to the level of stuff like Castlevania 3 or the Game Boy entries but it has a lot of that old school design mentality all over it like knockback sending you into pits and the jump still not letting you change direction
I'm actually fine with Dracula X Chronicles. Admittedly the PSP being the platform for a lot of these 2.5D remakes like Mega Man Maverick Hunter X and Ultimate Ghosts n' Goblins always perplexed me but I do think the extra content and having the original game as an unlockable alongside Symphony of the Night made the package for me, and besides now the original is way more accessible thanks to it being part of that PS4 Requiem pack with SOTN
