I have played all of both games and am excited for the new one Friday. They are totally in scale correctly to each other. Grundy is massive in the game.

I decided to wait for the Arkham Origins Bane figure to be released. That will work well for a modern looking Bane. Can't wait for some of those figures.

Has anyone seen the Mattel Arkham Origins Bane or Deathstroke at a store near them?

This is the roided out Bane. So he will be larger than normal. I also want the Arkham Origins Bane as he is pre steroid Bane and his outfit is just kick ass.

So Beware the Batman has been canceled already thank goodness.

The Mattel Arkham Origins figures look great, but I can't decide if I'll buy them or not. I might end up sticking with DCC.

How much of a chance did you give it?

I was originally one of the haters too. But you know what? I kept watching regardless, and eventually I really got into it. The Metamorpho episode was a real turning point, Katana turned out to be an insanely likable sidekick and they were already building towards Barbara's eventual rise as Batgirl.

Of course, that doesn't change the fact that Batman's design was terrible.

I refuse to watch it. I would have given it a chance had WB not decided they needed to change things due to the theater shooter. Plus, I've seen the trailers and the animation looks even worse than the GL cartoon animation, which was even worse than Bayformers Prime. Reboot looks better than all three of those shows.

Anyway, it doesn't matter at this point since it has been canceled, as there is no reason to even attempt to not throw up during an episode.

What did they change? I only remember about that Gangster Squad movie being changed. Not like that movie was going t be a big hit anyway but its pretty stupid to go in an change stuff. I even remember some people suggesting the Twin Towers be edited out of old stuff after 9-11.

They changed the guns in Beware the Batman from realistic to dumbass lasery pew-pews.

I have to respectfully disagree. Not to say that Reboot was a bad show or anything, it's just that its CGI looks incredibly dated to me now.

Welcome to the 21st century: home of knee-jerk reactionism.

People keep saying that, but I just don't see how. Beast Wars and Reboot have far more detail in their character designs than the CGI shows do today. Just look at the blandness of Prime's Optimus mouth compared to BW's Primael mouth.

If you just go by movement, then sure, the newer CGI is better because it does not have the shaky looking movements and stuff. However, details, nope, not even close. Hell, GL and SW don't even have shadows like the CGI had in Beast Machines.

Found these on my last trip to Walmart. If I remember they're at $16 each. I haven't seen these at Target just yet. I will be checking out the TrU express b4 I go in to work today and let you know if it's only at Walmart that you'll be able to find these.

[squeezeplay]

Man I need the Batmite and Crimson Mist type Bats and those 2 60s TV figures for fodder.

like pretty much everything in the 80's and 90's? I think maybe they weren't allowed to use anything that looked realistic for some reason.

[snake5289]

Yo Joe!!! They changed them because of the Rises shooting.

Yes, which is utter bullshit. I understand delaying the show, but changing it just because of a shooting does not fix the shooting from ever happening and it does not prevent one from happening in the future.

I am so tired of these ****ing companies thinking avoiding gun usage in a cartoon is going to stop kids from getting ahold of them. Instead, they should be using guns in a cartoon to teach children about gun safety and why it is not cool to play with them like Gargoyles did back in the 90s.

All the fear mongering and hiding their heads in the sand about guns is actually dangerous for kids. Most parents nowadays just tell their kids that guns are evil and too stay away. For a young child that just makes it seem more exciting so if they ever do find a gun they will be more tempted to play with it. Teaching respect for firearms is actually safer. I remember when I was in elementary school we had books that features all kinds of weapons throughout history. Young boys love that stuff regardless and will be drawn to it. Now we suspend kids that use their hands as fake guns when they play on the playground. In a way, we are teaching them that the fake stuff is as dangerous as the real thing and since they know nothing happens when they play around how would they know the difference of what a real firearm can do?

I was actually taught about firearms so I know that if I had ever found one as a kid I would have known how to disarm it and never to point at one of my friends, ever. It's like how teaching your kid about a car brake is a lot safer than telling them to just stay away from the wheel if their bus driver passes out or something.

I've only ever seen them at one Walmart, myself. And only once, now that I think about it. All they had was the Riddler and I passed on him thinking I could get him and the others when they restocked.

That has yet to happen.

That was the Worst depiction of Batman animated I have ever seen anybody know why it was canceled was it because of poor ratings

It's certainly no BTAS or Brave and the Bold but it's not terrible.

But if you aren't BTAS or BatB, you aren't worth it. Why would I want to watch a Batman cartoon that is inferior to two others when I can just watch the two superior ones instead?

That was the main problem I had with The Batman. What is its point when BTAS is a superior show? I can either watch an average Batman cartoon or I can watch the greatest cartoon ever made.

[snake5289]

I liked The Batman except the 3rd and 5th seasons. The first episode of the 4th season was pretty good.
