Grown-ups reading childrens comics

Most comic books haven't been written for children in the United States since the 1970's, which is main reason I quit buying them once my oldest child was able to read. The target audience for most comic books is a male in his 20-30's with a degree in science/math/engineering/or technology.

I remember watching these cartoons as a kid, and have discovered them again on this site: http://dubbed-scene.com/index.php?q=node%2F85

It amazes me how good this show really was, dealing with adult issues in a non-patronizing manner. Sure there were the throwaway action episodes, but surprisingly enough, they were few and far between. The stories gave more depth to the characters and their conflicts (Not the over all conflict, but the internal struggles of the antagonists) in 20 minutes than most movies do in 2 hours.

The art direction of the series is absolutely phenominal. Small touches are apparent everywhere. A crowded room where only the focal character is colored in, the almost liquid movement of the batman, as well as great camerawork.

I strongly suggest a view.

EDIT: The "Grey Ghost" (voiced by Adam West) episode is a work of art.

I work third shift and it's a Maytag Man position...so a good way to spend my 10-hour shift with nothing but a computer and a fat internet pipe is always welcome! Thanks Yogi! Reliving my college days here!

Bronies are above-expected-age male fans of the current generation "My Little Ponies" cartoon. I forget what the older women fans are called but there's a name for them too.

There are some great mashups that are worth watching where you can see the animation style while enjoying real movie audio goodness. They've been linked from here before but worth doing again.

Flat out, B:TAS is the best animated series America has produced in the last 20 years.

Its certainly in the top very few.

B:TAS original run was from 1992 to 1995. So unless your under say, 30, my statement holds true.

From memory, it ran for several years afterwards....I was only in 2nd grade in '95, and I know it was on past that point.
