r/BatmanTAS

As we all know, in TAS Catwoman's origin is that of a socialite, but her Year One origin could have worked. In Year One, Catwoman's origin is that of a prostitute/dominatrix. Could this origin have worked in TAS?

In the movie Mask of the Phantom, Valestra was a mafia boss, but the question I ask you is: were Chucky, Sal, Buzz, and Jack Napier all members of Valestra's gang, similar to Tessio, Clemenza, and Luca being from Vito Corleone's gang, or was Chucky the boss of his own gang, Buzz of his, and Sal of his?

How did Jack manage to leave Valestra's gang? Because you're not supposed to be able to leave the mafia. The final question is, how has Valestra degenerated so much in the present that even Reeves tells him to get lost?

This character appears in the film, Mask of the Phantasm. What strikes me is that he's basically the antithesis of Harvey Dent. That is, a guy who wants to hunt down Batman, in contrast to Dent, who worked with Batman. He's a friend of Wayne's, just like Dent. And while Harvey wanted to imprison Thorne, Reeves was associated with Valestra in the past. Like Dent, they both end up insane.

It's also interesting how, in an animated film, you show the corruption of institutions.

The material and opportunity was there:

- an abused and xploited orphan

- Grows up in filth and poverty, experiencing the ciminal underworld firsthand.

- Batman rescues him from a life of crime

- he helps batman save the other children

Th potential was there, but they never went with it. And before anyone says that Frog's backstory would'nt have loyal to his backstory in the comics....let me remind you that they changed a lot of people's backstories in this show.

Case in point:

1.) Harvey Dent went from getting acid splased in his face by maroni in court to getting half his face blown to hell in a factory.

2.) Selina Kyle went from being former prostitute and street urchin to a wealthy socialite with a love for animals (though if you ask me.....it was a good change, because NOBIDY liked the idea of selina stooping THAT low in the comics.....)

Batman Villains Redesigns Part 3 (Left To Right): Scarecrow, Clayface, Mad Hatter and Harley Quinn.

The scene where Valestra visits Joker and reminds him that Joker's hands are stained with blood (much more so) than his own, and Joker has a fit of rage, speaks volumes. It's a reminder that Joker was actually a mob hitman, just another thug, a henchman who followed orders, not the great villain he is today. It's interesting how Valestra and Terry managed to push Joker's buttons.

hey guys i tried to make one of the fanart i posted last week into a poster, im new at doing graphic/ poster design, hope u guys like it!

this artwork was Inspired by The Batman Animated Series episode titled " The strange secret of bruce wayne " and the Jujutsu kaisen Season 3 Anime. this is my Fourth time of using bruce timm inspired art style.

In other words, in the flashbacks of Mask of the Phantasm, when Jack sees Andrea he makes a gesture, and when he sees her with Wayne he seems to get angry and throws a cigarette butt at him. Was Jack in love with Andrea and jealous of Wayne before he became the Joker?

Would just like to post here that if anyone is looking to upgrade their MAFEX/Mcfarlane DCAU Jokers with a JLU/Batman Beyond Return Of The Joker version Head Sculpt, I have my custom designed and printed available for order at $20 each plus shipping from the Philippines.

I looking for Batman Animated Crew jackets. This Varsity style and the Satin Bomber style in sizes L/XL

I think it’s very clearly blue, but just looks black in the dark, but I’m hearing a lot of people saying it’s just black

IMO, this episode should have been the series finale. I know that BTAS wasn't meant to follow a strict

chronological order, but i genuinely think it serves as the emotional epitome of the entire series, featuring Batman’s trial by the villains and the whole dilemma regarding the importance of the Batman figure.

Do you agree or have a better idea of episode from BTAS to serve as series finale or emotional epitome?

Thought this would be kind of cool to add here. Recent drawing I did. Artwork
