Which cartoon adaptation of Batman do you prefer Batman Beyond or The Batman? I prefer The Batman over Batman Beyond I don't know why but I didn't like Batman Beyond very much.

It's hard to pick The Batman because Batman: The Animated Series did its premise much much better. Batman Beyond was pretty decent. I liked the futuristic setting and that grizzled old Bruce Wayne was still as tough as ever.

I...'didn't care for' The Batman.
I loved Batman Beyond though! Del Murder is spot on.

I thought Batman Beyond was a really well-done series.

I really hate futuristic adaptations of comics, and "The Batman" was crap too. The original Batman animated series, however, was possibly the best superhero comic ever made. The plots were right up there with the comics, and probably lifted straight from them on numerous occasions. The animation was great and even the music was top quality. They never should've modified it or replaced it or whatever they did towards the end of its run.

Hey do you guys know how many volumes of Batman : The Animated Series are out there? When I went to Wal-Mart today and I only saw volume three of Batman : The Animated Series.

Go to Amazon.com. They sell them all. I think there's only the three.

Alright thanks!
I went to Amazon.Com and there's actually four volumes of Batman : The Animated Series! I think I'll buy volumes one and two for now...It'll be too expensive if I get all four volumes at once.

Batman : The Animated Series > Batman Beyond > The Batman
I recently saw The Batman and it suffers noticeably from "DBZ-anime-infection-syndrome".
My name is...something..?

Batman Beyond by a long shot.
I saw one episode of The Batman.
"WTF? That's the Joker?" was all I could say.

<i>Batman: The Animated Series</i> is better than either of those.
If anyone gets the Boomerang channel, <i>Batman: The Animated Series</i> is on most nights at Midnight EDT/PDT.

I like Batman: The Animated Series because he has a square head and the characters are just drawn so well.
I think I saw an episode of either The Batman or Batman Beyond. He sounded really weird and I was not impressed.

The Animated Series was obviously the best, but I got into Beyond a lot too. It was unique. I haven't seen much of The Batman, but it's been horribly unimpressive.

I really liked Batman Beyond and Batman: The Animated Series. I haven't seen The Batman, though.

One thing Batman Beyond has going for it is that it's basically a conitinuation of Batman: The Animated Series. Most of the voices are the same and the timeline is the same. The Batman tried to redo it from the beginning, and it's like, why try to redo it? It was done so damn well the first time.
The opposite goes for Batman Begins. The original Batman movie series started off well but fell into the toilet quickly. So Batman Begins tried to start fresh and not make the same mistakes and it succeeded. I hope they don't do a Joker movie for this Batman because the first one was so good. They can redo Twoface though.

I don't think it'sso much a problem of trying to redo it from the beginning as it is that The Batman just blows. Let's face it, if it were intelligently written and really represented the characters well, I don't think anyone would mind it one bit. I liked Batman TAS and Batman Beyond, but The Batman can go ahead and be cancelled for all I care.
Also, it would seem you haven't kept up with the Batman Begins movie news. Heath Ledger is set to play the Joker in the next one. I'm not sure how I feel about him playing the role, but since I don't care for Jack Nicholsons portrayal myself I'm glad to see them take another crack at this character.

Bantam Yboned is clearly the best. (It has a silent Y)
The Animated Series is easily the best Batman cartoon. I also enjoyed Beyond greatly. I haven't seen much of The Batman but it's been quite underwhelming.

Okay, who voted for the batman?
Anyway, batman beyond is far superior with great characters. I just enjoy the overall mood and music of it.
