Evoking Schumacher, especially when the ...Yeah, no. Evoking Schumacher, especially when the analogy is this plainly hyperbolic, is the geek equivalent of breaking Godwin's law. The Tim Burton films have aged rather poorly, and I assure you that the reverence for Christopher Nolan will inevitably come under intense fire. I find open disdain for <i>Batman: The Brave and the Bold</i> merely tells me that the beholder lacks a sense of humor about their super-heroes, or worse, has rigidly defined parameters for what the genre should be. There's no Sophie's Choice either/or here. It's okay to enjoy both on their own terms.

I love that <i>Batman: The Brave and the Bold</i> was a completely different beast from the Timmverse; juvenile comedy that somehow still seemed more true to the source material than any other DC cartoon. I will say though that <i>Doom</i> kind of links <i>Justice League Unlimited</i> to <i>Young Justice</i> by combining Timm continuity with YJ design aesthetic.<br /><br />No nose is too fishy.

I kind of think of each cartoon existing in its own universe, which doesn't interact with any of the comics or other cartoons. For example, I don't think <i>Young Justice</i> makes reference to any storylines from JLU. And the GL cartoon is out there on its own, and so was Batman: Brave and the Bold. Plus I have a terrible memory for continuity anyway, so that helps. I get where you're coming from, though. There are some things that don't make any sense or don't need to be there or just plain bug me. Having J'onn be M'gann's uncle in <i>Young Justice</i> really bugged me, for example.<br /><br />Oh, and noseless Despero is the scariest Despero. But the dark purple and pink fins....that's too pretty to be scary.LissBirdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17059648604602469375noreply@blogger.com
