I have a 7 yr old, 5 yr old (girl) and 3 yr old who care about tv (the 1 yr old
just doesn't care all that much yet).  

The kids like Batman a lot - but are not obsessed with it.  Last year, we
(that is an inclusive we...) were obsessed with Darkwing Duck.  Nothing 
got in our way of watching.  This year, I am trying to cool TV addiction some
and so am not making as big a deal out of things.  If TVs on, they all flock
to watch Batman (if we are trying to have supper, the 3 yr old stands on his
chair to watch).  I have a friend with a 3 yr old daughter who decided she
was Catgirl after watching Saturday's episode.

So at least in my small circle, the kids like it.  And I certainly like it.
For what its worth.

I agree the Batwing was thrown in just to be thrown in. It would have
been more relistic is he used a helicopter. The only reason it was the
Batwing was becaues it was in the movie. It was relistic when he was

For Chuck Jordan

Transferring animation drawings to computer.

1. Scanner you already know about.

2. Video digitizer--unless you have broadcast quality equipment you'll
still end up spending a lot of time touching up the drawings.

3. You might right some kind of crosshair thingy to your mouse
and trace really slowly--you'll probably still have to touch up.

It's kind of a shame to take fluid pencil drawings and degrade them
for the sake of using a computer--doesn't anyone have a film camera
down there you could use.

Subject: BATMAN IS GREAT


    I just have to say that BATMAN is the best T.V. animation that has good
story lines and excellent art since ROBOTECH. So far I seen all the episodes,
and the one thing that strikes me interesting is how the villains are villains
with a cause. By that I mean you find out why they became a villain, they're
not like G.I.JOE cobra who want to rule the world, destroy everything. Villains
 such as DR. FREEZE became a villain becouse the industry, can't remember the
name, killed his wife by accident. Then there is CLAYFACE in the episode "FEATS
 of CLAY" became a villain after getting addicted (sp?) to face cream, you
can't say that not original. Also if you seen all the episodes you'll notice
that the real villains are the corparate owners of the industry that the villai
n comes from. So if this how BATMAN going to be it is going to be a Hit.


             P.S. T.V. GUIDE said there is 65 episodes already in the can,
stick that up your noses REN and STIMPY! And also on Entertainment Tonight they
 said all the episodes were done on blacken film, or paper, to give it a dark
look.

Will there be background sketches of who folk are or will they take the
Batman approach that folk know the hero and just focus on their dealings
with the villians?

If the latter, I must confess that I have been away from X-Men for a number
of years - could someone dig up character/power analysis of the team that

I don't know what you mean.  Law enforcement probably was involved.
So what?  When did the show imply he did it without involving law
enforcement?  As for the explanation ... seems like an old tradition
of TV shows to have a father relocate his family and tell them "just don't
ask any questions about it, I'm doing this for your safety" etc. etc.

First, I've been under the impression that the Joker is insane.
Second, if Charlie had collided with that car, he would have been hurt,
and his car would have taken a fair bit of damage.  Not until later
was he to become so scared that he would have said "to hell with the 
car";  at that point, he was greedy and hoping to save both himself and
his car.

Watched the 'preview' episodes over the weekend, and the first
weekday episode Monday.

Overall, I'm pleased.  Where the old Max Fleisher Superman cartoons
leave you thinking 'This is Siegel & Schuster's Superman in animation',
this leaves me thinking 'This is Bob Kane's Batman in animation'.
The plots are acceptable.  The Monday episode with Mr. Freeze was
appropriately sympathetic.  

Looking forward to how things progress (and gritting my teeth against

Talk to us "Tiny Toon Adventures" Fans about "large" differences in the
animation quality from episode to episode. Another poster correctly pointd out
it was because that way they can crank out more episodes per season because
they use a different animation house for each episode. Anyways, it is a price
we must pay for quality and quantity. Remember Rocky & Bulwinkle! :-)

Personally, I was very impressed by the second part of Feat of Clay.  The 
animation was TMS, and did an excellent job of portraying Clayface's 
shapeshifting, especially the uncontrolled stuff at the end.  I was kind of 
disappointed that Bats didn't do something like make himself up to look like 
Hagen (he is after all a master of disguise himself) but what he did was okay 
as far as psych war goes.  Nice "tip-of-the-hat" to Clayface IV in the closing 
scene.  If the rest of the episodes are in this league, American-market 
animation may have hope yet (notice, I didn't say American animation, as the 
only episodes I've checked the credits on were TMS).  Oh, and I loved the use 
of "thugs with quirks" in Germs's case.  Hearkened back to the Kane stuff.

From what I have seen (not that much), Tiny Toons ranks high in both

	Not really, the 40s & 50s Batmobile was more like the Bob Kane, long

	Ever read Dark Knight Returns?  Great story (*that doesn't fit in the 
normal Batman continuity*) about a 'super hero' (after all Batman's only human)
that has aged.
	BTW, if you follow the time line of the Batman's comic book appearances,
he would be more like 80.
	It doesn't make much sense other than the cool style of the city that 
ALL of the cars (and planes if you saw 'Joker's Favor') are in 40s deco
tradition...
