"Then, Brutus, I have much mistook your passion;
By means whereof this breast of mine hath buried
Thoughts of great value, worthy cogitations.
Tell me, good Brutus, can you see your face?"

Thoughts regarding Batman: The Animated Series

Perhaps the greatest superhero cartoon of all time? Indeed. Here are tonight's thoughts as I peruse the episodes of season two.

THINGS I LOVE ABOUT BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES.

#10. Batman's silhouette. GOD. Just LOOK at that. Completely unreasonable expectations of masculinity... delicious, delicious masculinity.....rrrrRRRRrrrrr....

#9. Mark Hamill as the Joker. I don't have to say anything else.

#8. I lied. The Joker's Laugh. It doesn't get any freaking better than Mark Hamill's INSANE UNYIELDING CACKLING. Perfection. It soothes the soul.

#7. Alfred. Especially his asides or follow-up comments that tell you how disapproving he is of something. Perfect.

#6. When Batman does things that are unnecessary or illogical. Such as, climbing around on residential rooftops in broad daylight just to eavesdrop on a conversation. What. They can see you, dude.

#5. When Batman literally just says "WHAT!" in shock. When something is so shocking that even Batman doesn't know what to say... then you know you've really seen something go down.

#4. Harley and Ivy. Again, enough said.



#3. Barbara and Dick. Ohhhhh yes. OTP forever and ever and ever... it defined my childhood. Shut up.

#2. THE CLASSIC BATMAN EYE NARROW.


aaaaaaaaaaand....

#1. THE OPENING INTRO SONG/SEQUENCE. Enjoy.
