>Have vivid memories of Batman The Animated Series. >can't remember a single thing about Superman's show
I only remember the Darkseid stuff. And Parasite constantly trying to touch Livewire.
>helps Parasite get Superman's powers
>shocked when he turns around to take hers too
I did laugh at that episode where he helped Superman to get color TV cable in prison.
What does that prove?
OP is trying to shit on STAS.
Superdaddygays are paranoid morons
Nothing, this is OP trying to create another "Superman is boring thread" for like a 100th time
Is it autism that compels him?
I don't remember anything about the BTAS. if it wasn't for cumtown i would have forgotten about that cartoon
>he doesn't remember Darkseid vs Superman
>he doesn't remember Livewire
>he doesn't remember Parasite
>he doesn't remember the pure kino that is The Late Mr. Kent
>he doesn't remember that time Superman was Batman
sad tbh
All anybody remembers is Livewire and the World's Finest two-parter.
>All anybody
Speak for yourself homosexual, I loved the pilot episode.
I remember the Darkseid stuff more than that. Also Lobo was based.
>>he doesn't remember the pure kino that is The Late Mr. Kent
If DC was smart that's the exact story they would go with for a movie.
>If DC was smart that's the exact story they would go with for a movie.
These cartoons were so much more sophisticated than the movies, it's unreal.
I remember the dude who was fricking executed via gas chamber
I literally never understand why the *mericans constantly making movies how they cuming and shitting themeselves from the Natseees, but yet still use literal GAS CHAMBERS.
Every time I picked an American "literatura" and saw gas chambers I though it was anything but exactly the thing NUTseas usesd
Years later I do Meme Researxh and DISCOver that UN, EU, NATO, NASA all were formed and led by "former" literal high commandt NotThese
It is upside down world
>upside down world
Is that where you learned how to type, because Goddamn.
>can't read OR write
Figures.
>bait thread the 786th
STAS had its moments.
It didn't have the drama slant of BTAS, but it did have adventures and
>A handful of waifu outside of Lois, Lana and Kara in the form of Live Wire, Volcana, Mala, Maxima, Mercy, Lashina etc.
>Episodes where he has to outsmart Mister Mxyzptlk
>The Late Mr.Kent
>Various team-ups with The Flash, Aquaman and Green Lantern
The best part sadly is the 3 parter in the 2nd season "World's Finest".
Followed by "Knight Time" in season 3 where Superman has to pretend to be Batman.
It wasn't BTAS, but it was the next best thing.
>Batman:TAS get an immediate BluRay rip when it released.
>Batman Beyond gets an immediate BluRay rip when it released.
>Superman been out forver and no BluRay rip.
they ripped it off HBOmax. i think it was the only one that the BluRay came out after it was on streaming sites.
Remember when Brainiac traveled through time in order to kill a young Superman before his powers came in and Pa and Ma Kent just blast the frick out of him with shotguns?
>batman's parents
>have no guns
>are dead
>supermans parents
>have guns
>are alive
I think when it comes down to it, that's the reason I liked superman more as a kid.
Makes sense. I like that Superman DOESN'T technically have a no-kill rule, he's just such a good guy that he tries not to kill anyone. I've really come to hate hard no-kill heroes like Batman & Spider-Man.
>After viewing a rousing adventure movie at the local theater, the Kent family is confronted by a mugger in a dark alley
>Before a young Clark can react to save his parents, the mugger gets fricking obliterated by the sawed off Ma always carries in her handbags
>Young Clark:"Man, I LOVE living in a red state."
yes and its fricking hilarious and rules.
Yes
Goddamn I love the Kent’s.
I'll bite.
Dan Turpin's death alone had more of an emotional impact on me than literally anything from BTAS or any other DCAU show.
It's also the moment when my perception of Darkseid changed from "generic cartoon evil overlord" to "outright monster.
>Dan Turpin's death alone had more of an emotional impact on me than literally anything from BTAS or any other DCAU show.
More than anything from BTAS, but not more than anything in JL(U). Emil Hamilton calling Superman Lucifer literal YEARS after a brief moment anger in "Legacy" (an attitude that makes total sense in the context of what Darkseid did to Kal-El) and Emil's dialogue to his murder-clone daughter (ALSO continuity from "Legacy") are bigger gut punches.
I forgot about JL(U).
You can add Ace thing to that.
Also a great emotional scene.
I'm not gonna say anything else about that episode because I don't want to turn this thread into Epilogue-gays vs anti-Epilogue-gays shitflinging #137483643541233
Even with the retcon, Epilogue is one of the best episodes with 10/10 writing.
what retcon?
Bruce is Terry's father because Waller had Terry's other father injected with nanites that overwrote his DNA with Bruce's.
Not only was it a touching moment showing Bruce at his most caring, which was why Waller was telling Terry about it, but it ties together the Wild Cards arc from the original Justice League series and hints to why Bruce named his dog Ace (at least in the the Timmverse).
Waller and Bruce had the best back and forth. Both had things they didn't want the world knowing and were just trying to outdo each other.
>Spoiler
What the frick were they thinking?
He's right, but slightly exaggerating about it being a retcon since if Batman Beyond got a second movie after Return of the Joker, that would have been the plot of it. Except it would have been Catwoman behind it instead of Amanda Waller/Cadmus, and the latter is a little more believable to have access to that sort of technology.
I thought this scene was the weakest part of the episode. The Terry-clone thing is the part I have the least issue with, given the bullshit Cadmus is capable of, though the odds of him and Bruce meeting as a result of the retcon is a real stretch.
Justice League Bruce was amazing. He'd outgrown the "MY city" developmentally-stunted control freak stuff from mid-90s to present comics, maturing into the only non-powered cape who could save the world with his brain and heart.
Ace.
"Wally West. Clark Kent. Bruce Wayne."
Telling Waller he DOESN'T CARE if she reveals his identity, because she's also famous and he can reveal Cadmus.
I loved it when he tapped her phoneline to the president to threaten her
>"Wally West. Clark Kent. Bruce Wayne."
Love that scene. Completely demolished any mistrust they might have had for each other.
... and since I mentioned "Legacy", another more powerful moment from STAS itself:
The DCAU is the only place I've ever accepted Superman violating his code against killing. His complete and utter defeat by Darkseid despite being able to no-sell his Omega Beams and defeat him in a slugfest earned his bloodlust in the first New Gods story on Justice League like nothing in comics or film.
I know he started in comics and I love alot of them, but frick man dcau supes is just the absolute goat version of the character for me.
>Emil Hamilton
Biggest missed opportunity in JLU was not seeing that piece of shit die the horrible death he deserved.
After watching both this year, I can say that Superman is actually the better show.
/co/, you did rewatch the Mxyzptlk episode after Gilbert's death, didn't you?
My thoughts exactly. The parts where Superman couldn't simply power his way through a situation were the best, including The Late Mr.Kent obviously.
I remember
>"I am many things Kal-El but here I am god."
>"Had i known one innocent mans death would torment you so i would have killed more. and kill more i shall"
and i think for some reason Batgirl and Robin teamed up with supergirl to fight oversized farm animals.
People keep talking about World's Finest when it comes to DCAU crossovers, but I like Knight Time more.
It was usually a thing I watched because Batman was on right after. I have more vivid memories of the credits title card than the show itself.
Btas was well made with effort put into it.
Stas was cheap looking and its cheap character designs polluted american animation for atleast 10 years.
Theres a reason why one is more memorable than the other or its spinoffs.
>Theres a reason why one is more memorable than the other or its spinoffs.
BTAS is only remembered more because Batman is the most popular hero of all time
The first few episodes of stas have animation that rivals the best of btas
Well not as nice looking as BTAS, STAS isn't cheap looking. Doesn't even look bad compared to the rest of the fox kids line up like freakazoid or animaniacs.
Freakazoid was on the WB. You look so ignorant right now.
Those shows arent really comparable to stas since freakazoid is a gag show making fun of superheros and animaniacs is a comedy.
Stas is meant to be serious and neither of those were since they were aimed at an earlier demographic.
Btas was meant to be serious.
Gargoyles was meant to be serious.
Both of those shows(freakazoid and animaniacs) have similar animation but not the same as stas.
Stas cheaper animation and character design spread and eventually took btas down with it.
Stas did to cartoons aimed at an older demographic what calarts did to kids cartoons. They only broke that trend very recently.
Its no coincidence that anime became very popular during this timeframe here either, since the watered down animation and cheap looking character design couldnt keep the older demographic interested in these kinds of cartoons from seeking better looking shows to entertain them.
BTAS' designs look nice but more often than not the character move very bloblike.
Flat out just not as iconic. It was still very well written with a wonderful style, but BTAS was a phenomenon. Superman's still an excellent series though.
>Ma Kent gives him both barrels
They don't make them like that any more.
That LoSH episode was fantastic
It's funny to think about Spider-Man TAS' laser guns compared to this.
Can I just say how fricking kino the music is for this show? I started rewatching it recently after a 2 decades and the music that plays throughout each episode during sequences is so good, adds a lot to the show. Some jazz here and there, and the themes song. Its just really nice
Probably my favorite cape show. My only problem with it was I think Clark should've revealed his identity to Lois in the final scene. You'd think with the topic of the conversation being trust and how they kiss at the end it'd be perfect timing, but nope. Hell, even if it was implied later in JL that between shows he revealed his identity I'd be ok with that. It's just weird that, especially after that conversation, they stay in this weird bubble of Lois dating Superman without knowing he's Clark Kent.
livewire and parisete team up episode
Dr Fate
Neither show aired in my country, but my parents got me a VHS of what at the time I thought was a Superman movie, and later discovered it was the first three episodes of the series.
Anyway, I really loved the Krypton scenes and would replay them over and over, and the final scene of the "movie" with Brainiac hijacking a spaceship legit scared me as a kid.
You don't remember his race against Flash? Or Lex being a weird brown greek dude?
>Or Lex being a weird brown greek dude?
Literally the best version of Lex to ever exist
I remember Bizarro, the Lobo 2 parter, and the Mr. Mxyzptlk episides. Everything else was kinda boring.
I’m the exact opposite like I remember Heart of Ice and Feet of Clay but largely the BtAS episodes didn’t stick with me while the StAS episodes have stuck with me all these years hell I can still Quote Brad Garrets Lobo
I remember an episode where Superman was helping some guy on death row and while interviewing him he noticed he couldnt be lying because his heartbeat was steady. This didnt make any sense to me, if I was gonna die because of a crime I didnt commit Id be panicking.
it was early 2000s that common myth of heartbeat was not disproven like the you use 1% of your brain myth
Stronger than Goku
Stronger than Saitama
Stronger than Madocka
Stronger than Naruto
Stronger than Jojo
Stronger than Shinji’s gay robots, Ash’s gay Pokémon creatures, Yugioh’s gay cards
Stronger than the strongest anime characters ever
Stronger than Goku
get rekt
That’s a pretty gay thing to have saved OP
I think we can all agree this is how Superman/Saitama should be.
Now let' see Dragon ball artist..
>Implying fan polls count for shit.
fan polls count for shit.
Yes.
People either think Saitama is more powerful or that Saitama is more popular. Pick your poison homosexual.
>People either think Saitama is more powerful or that Saitama is more popular
That doesn't mean he actually is more powerful.
Goku<Superman<Saitama<Popeye
This is fact.
>Death Battle
>Stronger than the strongest anime characters ever
The rest are right but lets not get carried away.
But can he run crysis?
Yugi has ancient magics, so he could defeat Superbland.
Only if he beats him at a game. And Superman's been playing 4D chess with a reality bender for years.
Here's the thing, even if Superman loses, he won't cheat so Yami won't do anything.
Not even Pre-Crisis Superman was stronger than Popeye though.
>Popeye analog
>Aestrix analog
has Superman met any other classic comic characters ?
That one part where Jimmy uses battery acid to help defeat Metallo in the junkyard stuck out to me for whatever reason
>The Main Man
>the episode introducing Toyman
>vague memories of Darkseid and that race traitor Intergang guy
>Karkull but only because someone keeps posting that one scene in the corruption and TF threads
Superman wasn't nearly as good as Batman, but it's still a top 10 cartoon of all time.
Relative to Batman, it had lower highs but higher lows. There were some horrifically bad BTAS episodes.
Anyway, we’ll never see its like again.
>Anyway, we’ll never see its like again.
yea...
I remember a lot of episodes of STAS, but when I think of BTAS I mostly just remember the opening, and Heart of Ice.
I remember Lobo
>can't remember a single thing about Superman's show
I rember this guy was a real butthole.
It might be because BtaS had a really strong and particular aesthetic design. Those close up images of batmans face with extra lighting, the more stylized backgrounds with gothic and art deco twists.
I remember the Mr.Myx stuff .
I remember being disappointed that the Bizarro on this show was the lame post-crisis version instead of the zany pre-crisis version.
Its been awhile but wasnt he just a moronic clone on this show?
I think that was also how Bizarro was originally introduced in the Post-Crisis comics. Part of Superboy's origin came from how Superman couldn't be cloned, so he was made to be a hybrid of Supes and Lex to work around it.
Yes, that's what I just said.
Is STAS Superman the most balanced version of Supes?
That'd be Justice League Supes as he's literally balanced to give the other members screentime.
Nah, STAS is balanced well - powers naturally grow over time, has to use a suit to breath in space at first, powers grow as he and the STAR labs crew begin to understand more about his alien biology, there's hints that he'll grow more and more powerful as he takes in more yellow sun radiation, but for the most part he's kept at a reasonable level to still have intense fights with his various foes throughout the series while still being able to show off impressive feats of strength.
JL Supe was nerfed to death, becoming the Worf of the series, he's always the first to get beat down by the threat of the week to hype them up as JL/group effort worthy but they forgive to give Superman equal time to shine so him getting punched around actually keeps any impact or gravitas.
One thing that STAS did that I liked was that his invulnerbility wasn't uniform across the board. He was way more immune to blunt and kinetic attacks like fists and bullets than he was to energy attacks like lasers or Livewire's electricity. It meant that he was still super strong and tough but not everything could be blitzed in the same way
I liked it.
STAS isn’t peak Superman in the way BTAS is peak Batman
>not remembering the episode where the guy finds out Clark Kent is Superman right as he gets gassed
>not remembering the New Gods
>not remembering World's Finest
>not remembering kino Mxzy
>not remembering kino Lex Luthor or kino Brainiac
>not remembering WIDE MAN smear frames
>not remembering "I am many things, Kal-El, but here I am God."
Just admit you're an old boomer with a failing memory, anon.
I remember when he beat Darkseid's fricking ass. I saw a clip on YouTube a few years ago while looking for Disturbed amvs. I didn't really watch it.
Kino incarnate.
Speaking of Knight Time, Supes and Robin's interrogation was great.
>Robin whispers "Kick over the desk. ...Just do it!"
>Superman then kicks the desk so hard that it fricking shatters upon hitting the wall
>Penguin's sheer "HOLY SHIT" expression afterwards
Gets me everytime
I remember it, because i had a dvd of it and I watched it maybe 300 times over the course of my childhood.
maybe you just suck balls?
>He doesn't remember Metallo bonding with those kids
>not the unsettling Toyman episodes
>not Lobo fricking shit up and hitting on Lois
>he didn't cry as a kid for Bizzaro
>not a single thought for Parasite
>ever forgetting about Livewire
>Metallo bonding with those kids
I remember watching that and groaning because I thought it was going to do a villain redemption. BOY WAS I WRONG!
For some reason, it's the monkey episode that really hits me with a gut punch and I don't know why.
Whaddya say to me cracka?
forget the animation, imo the writing and voicework are where these cartoons really shine
A shame we can't have sound webms since I think the scene where Metallo is ripping off his fake flesh is pretty good.
I'm in the exact same boat, but that's probably because I watched BTAS as a kid, but never STAS.
>not remembering this
Rewatch it
What kinda homosexual forgets Lobo?
Who?
There was one casual joke from an episode that is one of my favorite Superman bits ever; a guy tries to hit Supes with a metal pipe, he catches it with two fingers, and then casually flicks it into orbit.
Abobawde kino episode incoming
Does anybody have the superman crying template? The one where he's looking at the viewer?
have a nice day homosexual
Go rewatch it then moron. Sounds like your memory sucks.
>doesn't remember best girl
homosexual detected
I remember it being a prerequisite to watch the actual good show JLU, since like all of Cadmus and Gattaca revolve around the time he went rogue
Exactly
Quit samegayging OP
Op is gay
Maybe because you haven't watched the show enough times? It was really good.
>best episodes are World Finest and Knight Time.
MAYBE the short dude episodes are a distant third.
The rivalry between Harley and Mercy was great.
I have vivid memories of Supergirl being my first waifu and the Darkseid arc fricking with my tiny child head.
And the sick team up episodes, loved the Dr. Fate one.
