[edit] Headline text
- Image:The_batman.jpg shows the Batman in action, but there isn't room for it unless somebody expands the article (hint, hint)
- I think the article has been expanded, so I added your picture
anyone know if the younger portrayal of Batman is marketed to coincide with Batman Begins? Wareware 07:19, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- I doubt it. Simply because they're doing things in very different ways.-LtNOWIS 15:42, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I think its safe to say that its at least meant to be a tie in to Begins the way BTAS was a tie in to the Burton films. Shouldnt this be mentioned?
[edit] Overview
"Pseudo-anime" was deleted. To say The Batman and The Jackie Chan animated series were fashioned in a pseudo-anime style is speculation. Please cite references.--Hokgwai 15:53, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Criticism of the show
Any thoughts on adding a section to comment on some of the criticism people have had with the show? Some of it may not be valid as this isn't trying to be another Batman the Animated Series, but a lot of people have taken issue with the Jackie Chan Adventures animation style and radical re-interpretation of characters such as the Joker and Riddler and this sentiment should probably be addressed in the article.Insomniac By Choice 02:48, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I'm not sure this is newsworthy. It boils down to "Some people like it, some don't."Bjones
"But as the episodes aired, that idea went away" Not only that sentence sounds out of place (I guess it was added by some fan?) but it isn't true.
[edit] page renamed
I've moved the page from The Batman (television) to The Batman (TV series); I believe that this follows Wikiconvention.

(or whatever is passing for convention these days... --Taiichi)
I've added Bennett and Yin to the first season paragraph. If someone can add more details about them, that would be great, but I wanted to avoid show spoilers for now. --Taiichi 23:21, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Batwave
I do not really understand what the Batwave actually is or how it works, but a quick google search suggest that it is basically a gimmick to sell toys that interact with the TV somehow. Luis Dantas 18:46, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Well - on the Show itself, it seemed to be a transmitter of some sort, perhaps to pick up Police Wavelengths?
As for the gimmick toy - someone else is going to have to come up with that.
[edit] Episode list
The episode list on this page has been subject to a long series of vandalism, fan-speculation, and revision/reverting. Might I suggest that we adopt, for now, the list at http://epguides.com/Batman_2004/ as the canonically "official" list, and wait for further developments? If no one disagrees, I'll do so later this week. jglc | t | c 13:55, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Bullock and Monyota
"This is somewhat reminiscent of Detective Harvey Bullock and Officer/Detective Renee Montoya of Batman: The Animated Series, who similarly sought to catch Batman, but eventually end up in a tenuous alliance against crime." When did they ever attempt to catch him? I know Bullock hated him but he never tried to catch him- except in On Leather Wings and MotP- and Renee never interacted with him at all.
[edit] Season 4 erased?
I just noticed that the Season 4 description section in the main page has been reased. What happened?
- There was no source provided for the information. CovenantD 00:47, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
-
- You know, there used to be a link to legionsofgotham.com, but it was removed weeks ago for no reason at all.
- That's not a good excuse.
[edit] Help with bio and source info.
I need help trying to put a source link. In the Toymaker bio, I was trying to put a citation to a link in Legions Of Gotham reguarding his future appearance on The Batman Strikes!, but when I tried that, the link didn't take me anywhere. What am I doing wrong?
[edit] Inspirations/homages?
I just saw my first episode of The Batman today (in it, the Penguin was forming a team of super-villians.) After seeing Batman's costume, I was reminded very much of Battle of the Planets/Gatchaman. His cape features the same draping wrap-around neckline as the members of G-Force. In addition, the way he, Batgirl and Robin exited the Batmobile -- by flying out of frame and landing on their knees -- also seem lifted directly out of Gatchaman. Have their been any interviews with the creators on their inspiration of the art direction and animation style of this series? --68.103.154.140 06:06, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
