    If Bruce Timm did Marvel Shows.

    Like This Thread!
    I love Superheroes I always have, but I have never seen a good quality animaited representation of a Superhero comic untill Bruce Timm's Batman. That was an amazing show and aside from the first 2 movies it was the best interpertation of Batman I have ever seen.

    Then there was the Superman Animaited series which was also great and then there was the revamped Batman animaited series with the new Robin and Nightwing still great. Im gonna skip Batman Beyond ( hate it) and go straight to Justice League. WOW!! I was in awe when I saw the premier episode and I have been hooked ever since.

    It is now my opinion that Bruce Timm is the one person who can sucsessfully interpert any Superhero comic into animaited show format. With the exception of Batman Beyond I have liked every Superhero show he has been envolved in.

    My favorite superheroes to date are Batman and Spider-Man. Since he has already satisfied me with his vision of Batman I would totally love to see what he could do with Spider-Man if he were given the chance.

    Lets face it folks when it comes to animaited series Marvel has had bad luck. All of their attempts at animaited shows based on their comics have failed to gain any real following. Some of you might say that X-Men Evolution is a great show with great animation, but In my opinion there is way too much teenage angst in that show. It's like an animaited Dawson's Creek where they have superpowers.

    I am not only a fan of DC Heroes, but also of Marvel Heroes. I mean come on my 2 favorite Superheroes are each from one of these comic companies.

    I would really love to see what Bruce Timm could do with Marvel's most famous comics. At the top of my personal list is of course Spider-Man, but here are some more I would love to see.

    1)Spider-Man
    2)Captain America
    3)The Avengers
    4)The Fantastic Four


    The Bruce Timm version of a Spider-Man show would just be too awsome for my words to describe. I mean can you imagine his awsome animation style for Spider-man. I could just see it now. Mark Hamill as the voice of The Green Goblin.

    A Captain America show would be cool too. Since he is the Boyscout stype of Superhero the show would resemble the Superman show in alot of ways, but it would still be cool to see.

    An Avengers show would be awsome. This show would of course be very simular to Justice League . The roll call I would pick for this show would be.

    1)Captain America
    2)Thor
    3)Iron Man
    4)Vision
    5)She-Hulk
    6) Scarlet Witch
    7)Either Hawkeye or Quicksilver

    A Fantastic Four Show would be classic and totally awsome. Bruce Timm's Dr. Doom would probably look great of course.

    Well those are the top 4 comics I would love to see Bruce Timm turn into Animaited shows. I know if he were given the chance he would jump on it right away. I know he would be interested, But it's probbably not gonna happen. Well I would love to hear your opinions on this ok

    X-men Evolution had some things in common with Batman Beyond.

    Bah, X-Men, Spider-Man, Silver Surfer and the first season of the Incredible Hulk weren't *that* bad. Okay, so the animation was a bit subpar. But they're above average for cartoons in their respective eras as long as you don't compare them to Batman/Superman et al.

    I also have to point out that Hamill did the voice for Jason Macendale/Hobgoblin. He did a smashing job too.

    Personally I really enjoyed X-Men:TAS, Spider-Man, Silver Surfer, Incredible Hulk and Fantastic Four and never found the animation quality lacking the way you did RONDC20. I don't think that we'll ever see a Bruce Timm lead Marvel toon. The one possibility was Fantastic Four a couple of years ago when Marvel was virtually giving away their licenses and Timm begged WB to pick up the FF one - it didn't happen.

    If such a momumental event actually did happen though I would love to see Timm's take on Daredevil. I think Timm could really explore the character and revitalize him the way Smith did in the comics. Not only that but his Dark Deco technique could finally make a comeback and give us yet another amazing series. My second choice would have to be a Ghost Rider animated series - either one would be a bit darker and something he could take a fresh take with.

    I dunno. They all look like...little white squares with red x's. Kind of sub par, really.

    You all DO realize that Timm has a life outside animation? He can't spend 24 hours a day bringing superheroes to the screen.

    Everyone bashes the animation of X-MEN, SPIDER-MAN, SILVER SURFER, FANTASTIC FOUR, and THE HULK. Well, animation back then wasn't as GOOD as it is today. Of course it wasn't as good as the animation on JL, or even BTAS. Neither was Fleischer's SUPERMAN, but THAT was a classic.

    He has a life outside of animation?! Somebody should definetely stop that and find a way to preserve his mind so that he can continue generating new series for future generations to enjoy forever I also agree though - I really liked the Marvel toons and never really paid much attention to the animation "flaws" that everyone else seems to notice.
