    Also, I loved cartoons in the 90s. All of the comic book ones mentioned previously were awesome, and made me feel a bit more grown-up than I was...is that a bit weird?!

    Ditto. Spider-man too.
    The x-men and Spider-man animated series were good, but not as good as Batman TAS. Batman TAS felt more mature, more intelligent and down to earth while X-men and Spiderman felt WAY too comic-ish most of the time.

    Comic books had a huge huge boon in the 1990's. Specifically 1992 when several very talented (I argue Mark Silvestri is a hack, but I'm biased) artists left the Big 2 and started their own company. Consequently the entire 1990's for me was a mecca of (relatively) original / unique fictional material. Giddy glee goes here.

    As for the argument that this is better than that, if you're going to make any sort of argument of which is the best superhero, you have to pick Silver Surfer or Galactus because they are impossible to defeat.

    Don't you dare, DARE cite examples where that idiot Reed Richards managed to make Galactus tired. I like everything about F4 except for the stories.

    (if it isn't obvious, I was being silly)

    God damn you Super Delete, I waiting over five pages for you to make an appearance and THIS is all you have to say? Seeing as you like X-Men so much, send them to me, please =/.

    Warner Brothers were the golden company of the 90s, moreso than Disney (who had Gargoyles to their credit).

    Bats was great, and is still completely watchable. The setting hasn't dated at all(!), and you could root for the bad guys because Timm/Dano told their stories too.

    In fact, if I finish all of my chores today, I'm going to watch some.

    When I saw the series back when it appeared on Finnish channels, I thought it was rather grim and dark for my taste. For some reason I never had any problem watching Burton's Batman films, but some of the episodes in B:TAS really freaked me out. Nevertheless, I liked the voice acting, the stories, the animation and especially the thematic score.

    Now that I'm older, I've learned to appreciate the dark and tragic twists of the series, and I've found other things to like that I missed when I was younger. B:TAS was a good portrayal of the Batman universe and had the neat noir feeling that most Batman films are missing.

    I didn't watch Saturday morning cartoons to feel mature. I haven't seen this series in years so perhaps I need to take another look at it, but I still say Spider-Man was way better.

    First you think X-Men was better, now you've switched to Spidey?

    I expected more from you than this fickle flickering, mister!

    At least I'm pretty sure you're not going to go for The Hulk next.

    I've never even seen the Hulk cartoon.

    For the record, this is how I rank my Superhero cartoons:

    1. Spider-Man
    2. X-Men
    3. Justice League
    4. Batman
    5. Superman
