  1. I'm in full agreement. Kevin Conroy will always be the voice of Bruce Wayne/Batman. Me too. Whenever I read a Batman story, I hear Conroy's voice. It depends for me. Mostly on the time period. For instance, I read the Batman vs. Hulk crossover from the '70s and heard Adam West's voice. Oddly, when I go way back to the forties, I picture something not unlike Batfink's voice or Prowl from Transformers: Animated.
  2. That and have we established that this is a different continuity from the Nolanverse? Under which Joseph Gordon-Levitt should now be Batman. And since he was their version of "Robin," no Nightwing! Affleck I will wait and see. After the fanboiz' mistakes concerning Keaton, Ledger, and others, it's the best strategy. Multiple characters can either be very good (Avengers) or a cluster (Spider-Man 3, X-Men 3). So again I'll wait and see. Though Avengers does have the advantage of a better build.
  3. He also shouts "Spider-Man" in the credits to the 1981 series.
  4. It's the BATB Aquaman or I riot. Even if he was with the losers, imagine him trying to pep talk everyone!
  5. Well were any of the shows from 99-00 ones with unmasked Rey?
  6. He wanted revenge for Austin calling him a midget.
  7. I have to search Google Groups, but I do remember both. It didn't help that '97 was the starting period of when work and shoot were being blurred together. And since Pillman did his XXX Files skits in a hotel room, there were people wondering if it was part of the storyline. That and, well, it was post-'96 Pillman... EDIT: And here is a sample... https://groups.google.com/forum/#!search/owen$20higher$20power/z-netz.alt.wrestling.wwf/Me18Ryxq6b8/BEUxsuSmRFIJ https://groups.google.com/forum/#!search/pillman$20higher$20power/rec.sport.pro-wrestling/xi6f2cM5Z1Q/T1ogcT50B5gJ https://groups.google.com/forum/#!search/owen$20higher$20power/alt.pro-wrestling.wwf/FlfdPqYZm6E/M93fMgEGvQ4J https://groups.google.com/forum/#!search/owen$20higher$20power/t-netz.wrestling.wwf/ebIiihD-ruY/aVyVUX6KjNQJ https://groups.google.com/forum/#!search/pillman$20higher$20power/alt.pro-wrestling.wwf/hsh3K-EhTyk/9dEgYLBCFOkJ https://groups.google.com/forum/#!search/pillman$20higher$20power/rec.sport.pro-wrestling/zu8C3iuwsMs/xyXDsgHAT9cJ https://groups.google.com/forum/#!search/pillman$20higher$20power/rec.sport.pro-wrestling/Nsv4t5TRhy0/QZg8PeTRru4J
  8. Between that time frame, Spectacular Spider-Man premiered you know. Right, that's why I asked to make sure. BTB was better than I thought it would be. Liked it more than the last serious Batman series, that's for sure. I could have got even more used to the animation (like I did with GL), and they used the B-to-C list villains well. If it goes, then...what's next? Is DC Nation (or should we say DC Cancellation?) just a half hour of Teen Titans Go? (Crossing fingers for another YJ chapter, but you know how it is...)
  9. I remember this! Wasn't it more like leotards, kind of like the brief moment when the Killer Bees wore black stockings under their tights?
  10. Those were the most normal predictions. Back on RSPW, there were stories that Pillman or Owen faked their deaths and would be brought back to the public as the HP. General CoD question...have they shown much from WCW 1999-and-up? I ask because I wonder how they would handle unmasked Rey.
  11. They're doing it again... http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/10/23/beware-the-batman-pulled-from-cartoon-network-schedule With NOTHING good at Marvel, and this, could we be seeing another Dork Age for comic-based animation? (last one, IMO, was the time between JLU and BATB, when all we had really were mediocre Kids' WB shows, really. I forget if SSM fell into this time period though.)
  12. Renee Montoya has been busy. /Of course it'd have to be as a surrogate mother(s)

  14. As my friend brought it up to me last night, it's time to ask again...does anyone else remember, on the heels of the 1989 movie, a tabloid (forget which) reported a so-called leaked storyline for the sequel that would become Batman Returns? Except instead of just Penguin and Catwoman, it would feature ALL of the Big Four? Yes, even Joker, who'd come back because "he couldn't be killed as long as he had his lucky deck of cards." And he was back for revenge on Batman/Bruce, who had married Vicki Vale, who in turn is expecting (a.k.a., according to the article, "the wife that should have been mine," so says the Joker). I recall the article being right about Danny DeVito, and also continuing the "Robin Williams as Riddler" rumor. They also suggested Robin, played by Michael Jackson (!), could appear. The climax came when Batman tricked the villains into boarding a rocket, and he shot them into space (but failed to send them cheesy movies...) And at the end, the baby is born, and "enjoys playing with his daddy's rubber ears." Was I imagining/hallucinating this article? Or does anyone else remember it? I couldn't find ANYTHING online regarding it. (kind of like the "Madeline really being a story about a brothel" rumor I heard one time in high school)
  15. Does anyone else remember when they showed his hip surgery...UNCENSORED...on the WWF syndie programs? Eventually there was a pixellated version, but I remember it mostly being seen unaltered.My question is...given the target audience of the WWF at the time, why? And how did they get away with it on a program seen usually on SatAM or noon?
  16. The MWS version, I assume? Was this also the red-sky era, then?
  17. Has any show been good when it made a comeback? Maybe we shouldn't piss and moan when something is cancelled?
  18. I'll see your Season 2 and raise you Season 1. Agree how Fox just runs what was once popular into the ground, and takes few chances outside of that (a certain sitcom there that I've mentioned I'm fond of NUMEROUS times says hello...) And as much as I invoked them in the Roseanne thing, oddly, Ab Fab falls into this category too. From Last Shout on, it hasn't quite been the same. Plus I wanted to see someone kill Saffy the way she was portrayed in the 2000s episodes.
  19. My enjoyment of SNL depends on the guest host.
  20. Wow, they still have something *British* on BBCA? There was space left amongst the ST: TNG reruns?
  21. Seriously, I think Kricfalusi had some sort of breakdown at some point. His more recent stuff has just been embarrassing. Case in point: Eh, well I grew out of his style as I got older. How about Animaniacs? There were still some good bits, but it wasn't the same by the last Fox season, and definitely not the same on The WB. Since they focused on just 2-3 segments by then, and couldn't use others due to spinoffs or unavailable talent (Rita & Runt were underrated, dammit!), it just felt flat. Which reminds me...stop B:TAS at Fox, or do TNBA? On the other hand, JLU averted this trope by having 2-3 seasons in a row that each had a definitive ending, but then they came back with something bigger and more awesome!
  22. FTFY. As far as the Simpsons/SNL question goes...simple. Name value. It's like Hulk Hogan, even in the 2000s/2010s someone will trot him out because of the name alone. My picks... TMNT (OS): aka the "red sky" CBS episodes. Coupling (UK): S4 was unnecessary, now that I think of it. Just do a 9 months later reunion special for the birth and wait for Richard Coyle to be available. That said, S4 wasn't AWFUL or anything, just...different. But it did have Steven Moffat's FU to NBC. Are You Being Served? : Shoulda ended when Trevor Bannister left. Spare us the horrors of Mr. Spooner, I beg you! AYBS kind of had the M*A*S*H syndrome...too many regulars leave, they start consolidating characters (Humphries is now, well, Humphries, as well as standing in for the senior employee once occupied by Mr. Grainger, et al) Doug should have ended on Nickelodeon. The newer format of Beavis and Butt-head (original run) got strange at the end: show shorts in entirety, then videos, rinse, repeat. Smurfs probably did. American Idol seems to be leaning towards this, getting any A-lister they think will give them ratings. Stopped being the same w/o Simon, at the very least. Survivor. That is STILL on?!!? I am one who considers Mighty Morphin' the ONLY Power Rangers. (In fact, let's think of some FRANCHISES that went on for too long...) Rhoda slowed down after the divorce episode. Captain Planet after the move from DiC/Turner, and ESPECIALLY when they got the rap theme song! Family Feud (Richard Dawson): new gimmicks like 400 points to win left Richard less time to be Richard, though I wonder how much of his backstage attitude hurt things too. Still, where would we be without the Lollipop Tree? Match Game (Gene Rayburn): I disagree, but must mention some people's dislike of the Star Wheel/Richardless period from 1978-1982. That was "my" MG as a kid, so I didn't mind as much. Some people will say this about Sesame Street, though the show had to change I guess for new children. Things look up with Cookie Monster getting his own segment and some appearances by classic characters. Ren & Stimpy: Noooooooooo Games Animation episodes, please! And when John K. DID get them back, ick.... Keep my Real Ghostbusters "Slimer and..." free! And now...THE DEFINITIVE ANSWER: Happy Days and Laverne & Shirley. Garry Marshall just couldn't resist plunging his shows deeper and deeper into silliness could he? Minus most of the important characters to boot!
  23. No kidding. Al never got anything good to make up for 10 years of the shittiest luck, like, ever. Granted, he was a moron and more of his undoings was his fault. But still. Well now he got Sofia Vergara, so suck it, Peg.
