What is your favourite Batman
The original series was so naff it was hilarious. POW!
I loved Batman: The Animated Series when I was a kid, cause it wasn't like any other cartoon I'd ever seen before. I followed the thing religiously. Then I watched Batman and Robin (the animated series), but I didn't watch much of the third one (The New Adventures of Batman, when (SPOILER)Dick Grayson grows up and becomes Nightwing and Batman gets a new Robin, but I should have. Now I watch Teen Titans to see what happens in between animated series two and three. And because I'm a geek.
Adam West, by far. I would have went for the guy above, if only Robin had been at his side. :(
My fave would be the Batman in the current comics, which most resembles the Batman from the Gotham Knights portion of the animated series (after they revamped it and Tim Drake was Robin). The Batman Animated Series was just so awesome. Not only did they have great animation, directing, pacing, and storytelling, but they showed the darker side of Batman. I have the volume one DVD set... it's awesome. I can't wait for them to release the rest of the series.
Batman Beyond is also cool in it's own right... very creative. I liked it a lot as well. Too bad it got cancelled so soon.
Anyone catch the premier of the new Batman series last Saturday? It's called 'The Batman'. It's a complete depture from the original animated series by Bruce Timm and Paul Dini, which is interesting because these guy have had their hand in almost every Batman related animated series since the original one (Superman, Batman Beyond, Justice League, Teen Titans, etc). The new one is drawn by the guy who does the Jackie Chan Adventures. It's not bad... just different takes on the characters.
Teen Titans is AWESOME! I love it! Though I'm pretty sure it's unrelated to the original Batman series. But still... it's hilarious.Quote:

That new Batman cartoon on Kids WB, titled "The Batman", looks really good, from what I saw in the first episode. They should have made it for CN's Saturday Adult Swim, though, because there are a lot of maniacs in Batman that do disgusting things.
I watch Teen Titans, too. :p

Then he set up a replacement, who decided to go crazy and start killing people...and the original Bats has to come reclaim the title position against an opponent who uses weaponry and brutality over stealth and agility...one awesome series! The graphic novels by Frank Miller, The Dark Knight Returns, were also quite good.
danny devito is a penguin!
Azar, I have the Knightfall novel. It's so freaking good.
First one was just so so so lame and mostly everything in it was SOOOOOOOO illogical. I grew up with the animated one and he was so badarse.
I like fathers for justice batman.
Michael Keaton.
HOLY FATHERS FOR JUSTICE BATMAN!
And then The Animated Series.
Teen Titans? Pffffft.
