Introducing the Kids to BTAS and DCAU
I took the plunge and decided that my oldest (11) was old enough to begin watching Batman: The Animated Series, and it has been a wild success. She's not a superhero nerd like her old man, but she's enjoying the series, and as a Star Wars fan, appreciates the heck out of the fact that Mark Hammill is in the series.
And my 6 year old is also enjoying it, admitting that while it was "kinda scary", she still enjoyed it.
Superman and Justice League are in the future, naturally, and I can't wait.
But I want to put a shout-out to all the parents out there; Batman Beyond is obviously for an older audience, and it's definitely a darker, slightly nastier take on Gotham. I don't want to traumatize them unneccesarily (no 6-year-old needs to see Return of the Joker), but I also want to explore the whole story with them.
Did any of you introduce your kids to Batman Beyond at a young age? Did it work, did they not like it, give me your stories, and thank you.
