Bat. Man. Add Batman to the cast, and the show becomes a ratings hit. He doesn't even need to be a major character. Just do it, and the ratings will explode. I know it's "Their" story (refering to the BOP) but I think part of the reason for the ratings decline is that the original ads for BOP suggested in a misleading kind of way that Batman and Catwomen would be part of the show.

You make a good point.

I know that's what got my attention. I was looking forward to seeing Catwoman. You could imagin my surprise when I found out Catwoman died. I was pissed!!!!!!! In fact I'm still Pissed :fume:

They can't, Batman is taken by the film division of WB, and T/R were only given permission to use the small cameo for the pilot. That's it though.

Yeah Catwoman should have remained a character in some way on the show. It was sad to see her go.

In the comics, the Huntress didn't start her crime fighting career until Catwoman was murdered and Batman had retired. With all these inconsistensies in the show, they seem to have a few things down pat. The Huntress origin is one of them.

Her costume was much hotter in the comics, though.

Most things were done better in the comics. well basicly everything, I thought "Dark Strikes" "costume" was patetic, the whole "Hey im trying to be Angel but it doesent work" deal...

As for two words for the WB I think I'll save those for later!

Which what? Huntress? The Earth-2 Huntress of course. Post-Crisis Catwoman is still alive.

And my two words for the WB are these:
More Gabby.

If im right, and in continuity...

If you want more on the Joker shooting Barbera in the doorway, check out the comic book "Batman: The Killing Joke". It goes into much much much more detail about what really happened. You'll see the big diffrence in the "T.V." version. Joker actually kidnapped Gordon, then shot Barbera and took photos, well I'll let you read what happens.

He took naked bloody photos of Barbara and forced Commisioner Gordon to look at them, in an attempt to drive him crazy.

Yeah but that was the Joker for you. The Clown Prince Of Crime was and still is a super psycho.

They made the Joker seem funny and humorous in Batman: TAS damn he's really bad news. Thats just really sick. I think i may go and buy The Killing Joke it may make for a chilling read.

Frostbite, you just gave away the end, lol. Oh well, ya that is the Joker for ya (at least the comic Joker, not the TV/Movie Joker).

And it also tells the Joker's origin story, and how his pregnant wife dies of electrocution.
