@ThisCatIs2D I think the main problem with it is actually Alex Ross.
He's obviously a fine artist. I just don't think he's cut out for sequential art. His stuff feels too stiff and posed. It lacks the natural dynamism and visual storytelling of other, more conventional comicbook artists
Trust me, Ive given BTAS more than enough chances as an adult. I literally bought the Blu-ray box set because people talk about it like itβs the Sistine Chapel of animation. I wanted to love it but couldnβt make it past 8 or 9 episodes. I found it excruciating in almost every respect.
The writing, especially, is massively overrated. Paul Dini, frankly, strikes me as an extremely limited writer whose understanding of Batman rarely extends beyond surface-level noir aesthetics and broad archetypes. Even in the Arkham games -- which I love as games -- the weakness of the writing becomes impossible to ignore if you pay attention to characterization, dialogue, thematic depth, or narrative construction for more than five seconds.
Then thereβs the animation itself, which people mythologize endlessly. Much of it is stiff, sloppy, awkwardly timed, and visually inert. The designs were simplified to supposedly gain fluidity, yet the fluidity is wildly inconsistent from episode to episode. Sometimes -- rarely -- it looks genuinely good (that Man-Bat ep.), but most of the time? Far from it.
Same with the voice acting. Mark Hamillβs Joker is one of the most overrated voice performances in animation history. Because itβs the most obvious interpretation imaginable. If you handed βThe Jokerβ to almost any competent voice actor, Hamillβs take is basically the first thing theyβd arrive at before refining it further because it was just too obvious: carnival barker cadence, exaggerated theatricality, cackling clown energy, broad βcrazy guyβ inflections. Itβs the initial sketch most performers would evolve past in search of texture, contradiction, menace, unpredictability, or an actual interpretive angle. But with Hamill, people act like the sketch itself is the summit. Jeff Bennettβs Joker in The Brave and the Bold is honestly far more interesting to me because it actually feels like a conceptual interpretation of the character: retro, uncanny, almost like Conrad Veidtβs Gwynplaine from The Man Who Laughs suddenly came to life and learned how to speak.
Plus? Did you hear Hammil's Hobgoblin voice? It's the same freaking voice!!!
