Batman Beyond/WB venting!

[Rahziel]

what was the most violent fight scene in the BB series to you?My vote for one of the most violent was "THE WINNING EDGE" when Batman and Bane's friend got it on. I also noticed something strange about that ep. , Bane's friends said the word "kill". Didn't they remove the k word from the ROTJ film? WB is full of it if you ask me, that's why they lost Buffy to UPN and may lose ANGEL too! It seems like this whole editing issue was a deliberate scheme to break up the Dini/Timm connection and doom the show for sure. There's so much more story to cover in BB, it should deffinitely return in the near future. let's hope the live action movie breathes life into the animated series once more. We can only hope...

WB's latest attempts at censorship reminds me of the recent episode of Boston Public where that student got a forced transfer to another school for what he thought, because he had a "hit list" and wrote violent stories in his spare time. The higher ups over the school decided he was a potential threat and eliminated him.

While Boston Public is fictional, these things do happen in real life (I had my own experience like that too in the past for a comic book I wrote and drew.) WB is covering their *****, plain and simple. It isn't their fault that Gore is coming up with all this legislation against mature content in cartoons, causing WB to take the far more cautious approach, and it certainly isn't their fault that they have to be concerned of being victims in a sue-happy society.

I certainly am not in favor of any censorship WB does, and was furious that they cut up ROTJ, but I also can't hold them up for blame. It's Congress, legislation, lawyers, and uptight child psychiatrists. It's Seduction of the Innocent, year 2001.

<Sigh.>

You know, sometimes bad things without there being a conspiracy behind it all. No one likes what WB did to ROTJ, and no one likes the Timm/Dini bust up, but why use that as an excuse to pretend that the one was done intentionally to bring about the other? There's a difference between being rightfully angry, and just engaging in pointless demonizing.

(Oh, and Buffy? That's produced by 20th Century Fox, which is buying a 50% stake in UPN. Financial self-interest and self-dealing are work there, not censorship issues.)

was definitley the fight between Batman and the fat guy in "Mind Games". The animation in that scene was simply amazing, and it made the scene even more intense. I especially love the part where Batman smashes the fat guy with that pole and then strangles him with it:D (not killing him of course).

See ya!
Blight:cool:

....... Vs. that blond hair dude. He and Batman went at it, too. I still can't beleive tamara blinded him. Imagine if the did another ep. with tamara when she's older and she comes to back to Gotham to help terry fight the Brain Trust again or Batman helps her and here family take a stand against them. just a thought...

Hey:

I think that the most intense fight scene would have to be the one with Inque in the episode "Disappearing Inque", when they are in the labortory trying to make a cure for Inque so she can go back to her human form, that was the most intense fighting I have seen and the greatest animation I have seen.:D

[Fish]

Oh yeah! I totally agree with you Blight. The animation was smooth and I also think the music was pretty cool. Wasn't there some newspaper guy that mentioned that scene when they were all about animation and pushing violence to the limit? I think he said something about Batman leaving the fat dude lifeless.
The scene in that fight where Terry poses in that fog or something, now that was a NICE picture. My mother suggested that I drew it for her cuz she thought it was awesome! Ow I really would have liked that cell for my room!

True, any Inque fight is great, but I think the most violent scene was in Inqueling. The scene at the end of the episode where you can actually see Inque breaking and piercing his back. It was a scene where you could actually see him getting hurt phsyically and hear the pain.

Also, getting buried under the metal skeleton of a building, concrete, and the concrete truck all at once is preety brutal.

The Winning Edge takes the cake when it comes to hand to hand fighting violence. Batman and that doctor brawled it out. i was very impressed by Terry's fighting in that ep. I ound this move cool, the one when he leaps on the guys chest, gets grabbed in a chokehold then breaks the hold followed by a headbutt instantaneously. that was streetfighting in that ep.

That is in fact how it is, unfortunately. But I think that we're not going to get anywhere with this censorship mess unless everyone involved decides to take at least some blame. When you admitt to taking the responsibility, it leads to taking a stand to correct what's been wronged. And that's what we here need to do if we want things to get better.
