The series designs looked more realistic, a la X-Men. I think that's primarily why I am not too fond of it sometimes.

What "series" are you referring to?

The Animated Series, hense why I am in this section of the board.

I know what you mean. That's why I wish the whole show was animated in Japan like certain episodes where it looks a little more "graphic".

Are you talking about the character designs or settings, Darrell?

Mostly the characters, but you can't put realisitic characters in the environment of the show. They would need some tweaking, but keeping the same idea.

Well, despite the mentioned flaws, B:TAS is still my favorite cartoon, no matter what! I just couldn't resist saying that! 8)

It's not too bad of a series, but a few tweaks wouldn't have hurt. Some the character designs were kind of too simplistic, but I think that was because they were aiming for the look of the Kane-Finger comics of the 30?s and 40?s. X-Men was great at its closeness to its source material in both stories and design. I wish I could have seen that done for Batman.

Actually, if you look at some of Bruce Timm's artwork (I believe in Batman Animated), the character designs look more detailed. It probably would've been best to see the characters look like that.

Still, most of the character designs were overall faithful to the comics (not just the Kane/Finger era, but also the 70's, 80's, & early 90's), which is more than fine by me (although some had tweaks, like Batman's suit, for example). :)

Simplicity works best in animation, especially on TV budgets. If you go back and look at the quality of animation in shows like X-Men and G.I. Joe, it's pretty shaky. The more graphic style used in Batman, in addition to fitting the Dark Deco backgrounds, made it possible for the show to have more fluid animation.
