BATMAN CAPED CRUSADER | WTF Happened To Bruce Timm? | REVIEW

What happened to Bruce Timm is that he doesn't have someone like Paul Dini. The Animated Series is largely credited to Bruce Timm but he wasn't the only one who made it what it was. We have seen what he does on his own. Batman and Harley Quinn = Harley sleeps with Nightwing while he is tied to her bed. Killing Joke = Batman and Batgirl have sex on a roof despite the fact that this is his friend's daughter, she is considerably younger than he is, depending on the continuity she has dated Dick, and he has enough discipline to not cross those lines. Bruce Timm just did these things to satisfy his own fetishes. I remember the commentary for the Superman Doomsday animated movie. When it came to the scene where Lois makes out with Lex Luthor, Timm said that they did it just because it felt so wrong. Bruce Timm is a weird guy who does weird shit and needs someone to handle the scripts, not him.

[@StarcrossedFlash]

@@TheBackseaterYT …………Why? It’s such great storytelling

[@TheBackseaterYT]

@@StarcrossedFlash The whole thing just felt so nonsensical. Hear me out on this. The whole thing is supposed to be a discussion on if superheroes can be a bad thing, with Cadmus bringing up the times that Superman was brainwashed by Darkseid in STAS and the Justice Lords fiasco from JL. Cadmus spends most of their time in JLU preparing for that to happen, even teaming up with Lex Luthor in the process. It just felt so stupid to me because, yes, IRL vigilante organizations could very well be a bad thing, but in the DCU, costumed supervillains and alien invasions are recurring menaces, and superheroes have regularly thwarted them time and time again. So, the whole thing just came across like the government being needlessly paranoid of a bunch of people who have next to reason to ever turn evil. The writers pretty much realized how dumb it was by having the whole thing be upended by Brainiac showing back up, and the only real consequence of it all was King Faraday becoming the JL's liaison. The whole thing just looked like the writers had no idea what message they were trying to get across, and the whole thing is darn near pointless.

[@StarcrossedFlash]

@@TheBackseaterYTI disagree……..extremely. It’s not nonsensical to have preparations just in case this superpowered army with no supervision goes rogue. The Justice League had proven themselves time and time again, but the US government doesn’t rely on faith, especially with Legacy, the Justice Lords, and the pure might of the JLU. Not to mention accepting Hawkgirl back, who’s seen as a traitor by everyone but the founding members. It’s not about how superheroes can be bad. It’s about what happens if they start crossing lines. Cadmus was wrong specifically for their brutal conduct and methods of development, but as a concept, they have a lot of merit. Plus, they just prefer having loyalist metahumans for its own sake. If their own metahumans can stop a rogue Justice League, they can stop basically whatever the League can. And Brainiac? This was hinted at since Superman TAS. And his point in all this was amplifying the major flaw of Cadmus: LETTING LUTHOR FUND THE ENTIRE THING! Cadmus was supported entirely by Luthor. Waller admitted that being a mistake herself. They knew he was a snake, and they still let him bite them. Thus, there’s no way the President would let them continue after such a blunder. While their forces were busy losing to the Justice League, Brainiac was about to become an omnipotent android, but that’s where Batman came in, then Waller set aside their differences and had the founding members on standby to stop Luthor. Thus, Cadmus and the League, in a way, came together to stop the puppet master. Pointless? Let’s see……Waller becoming their liaison and deciding to create Terry McGinnis, giving us that masterpiece episode about fate vs free will. Luthor becoming obsessed with Brainiac to the point where he accidentally resurrects DARKSEID, eventually leading to Luthor’s own demise. The Metro Tower to prove that they’re getting closer to the people now.

In the series 'Oswalda' Cobblepot (the character's actual name, I kid you not) appears to have two natural born sons - as in sons she gave birth to - so this version of the Penguin is a biological woman for some reason (she goes on to have one of those sons killed in cold blood, and then tries to kill the other one, because one of them betrayed her criminal enterprise - safe to say she isn't going to win any 'mother of the year' competitions). Also, in the comics and broader source material, the Penguin is called the Penguin as a snide nickname referring to his very short stature, rotund build, and generally unprepossessing appearance that loosely resembles a penguin. It is a term of contempt he took for his own as a mob nickname used to inspire fear. In this version, however, the Penguin thing appears to be part of Cobblepot's schtick; a persona she adopts as a component of her cabaret act. She is a tall professional performer (at least in the legitimate side of her business) who is confident, comfortable in her own skin, given to flirting with members of her audience, and is presented as a domineering, somewhat extroverted personality in complete contrast to what the Penguin should be.

During this stage, the moral fibre and integrity of the country is put into question, thereby creating doubt in the minds of the people. *To do so, manipulation of the media and academia is required to influence young people. As the younger generation embraces new values, such as Marxism and Leninism,* the older generation slowly loses control simply through attrition. *Again, true facts no longer matter during this stage, but rather creating perceptions are of paramount importance.* Communism and Religion Abolished - all religious and metaphysics is rejected. Engels and Lenin agreed that religion was a drug or “spiritual booze” and must be combated. To them, atheism put into practice meant a “forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions.” Eliminating American exceptionalism, *fundamental change of national identity, structural deconstruction of foundational principles, elimination of religion. Embedding a new societal design upon the psyche of generations through ideological academia, peer pressure by elites upon academics and society to convince that prior values were inherently flawed, racist, prejudiced etc. National identity is diluted with aspersions toward historical references. National History is re-written, re-defined, and molded to fit the new intended behavioral model and create the new values.* Art is cultural and social history. Batman was created in 1939 and is a part of the personal history of millions of fans of the IP. According to these Liberal activists, the originals were flawed and need to be changed to fit atheistic, Liberal Marxist ideologies. From BBC Arts In Munich, Adolf Hitler staged two exhibitions which defined the way we think about modern art. The Great German Art show displayed the artists he approved of, the Degenerate Art show displayed the artists he despised. In these two exhibitions, mounted side by side in adjacent galleries, the battle lines were drawn between traditionalism and modernism. It’s a battle that’s still being fought today. Do you like art that’s realistic and reassuring? Or do you prefer art that’s experimental or disturbing? Maybe you like a bit of both - in which case, you’re like a lot of people who went to see these shows. The Nazis wanted people to see both shows, but they didn’t want people to make up their own minds. The idea was to see the Degenerate Art show, and see how German art had been debased - and then see the Great German Art show, and see how the Nazis has redeemed it. ---You may have an art gallery in your mind comparing the traditional Batman (or other established IP) to the new "modern audience" versions, coming to the conclusion the modern versions are depraved, bastardized versions of what came before. Reverse psychology is a technique involving the assertion of a belief or behavior that is opposite to the one desired, with the expectation that this approach will encourage the subject of the persuasion to do what is actually desired. You are not meant to accept the "modern" versions, that is only for the small, vocal minority on social media. You are meant to reject the modern art and look for someone, like Donald John Trump, who will come in and do a course correction for the United States, removing the Liberals so we can Make America Great Again.

It is not enough for conservatives to win elections. *If we are going to rescue the country from the grip of the radical Left, we need both a governing agenda and the right people in place (REACTION),* ready to carry this agenda out on day one of the next conservative administration. This is the goal of the 2025 Presidential Transition Project. The project will build on four pillars that will, collectively, pave the way for an effective conservative administration: a policy agenda, personnel, training, and a 180-day playbook. The project is the effort of a broad coalition of conservative organizations that have come together to ensure a successful administration begins in January 2025. *With the right conservative policy recommendations and properly vetted and trained personnel to implement them, we will take back our government (SOLUTION).* The 2025 Presidential Transition Project is being organized by The Heritage Foundation and builds off Heritage’s longstanding “Mandate for Leadership,” which has been highly influential for presidential administrations since the Reagan era. Most recently, the Trump administration relied heavily on Heritage’s “Mandate” for policy guidance, embracing nearly two-thirds of Heritage’s proposals within just one year in office. All of this is leading to a Conservative revolution and a fascist regime being the solution to the growing Liberal Marxist problem.

Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; 14 *Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.* (Babylonian Talmud, which the Seven Laws of Noah are derived from.) 15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. 16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. The following is a partial listing of the No/ahide Laws as derived from the Babylonian Talmud. Three of these Laws require the death penalty by guillotine when broken: Blasphemy, Idolatry and Sexual Immorality. (Note: Unlike in the Old and New Testament teaching “By the mouth of two or more witnesses..”, these Laws only require one accuser for the accused to be brought to the courts and condemned.) Idolatry: Must worship God alone. *Must not worship any man (ie: Jesus) as God.* No idols or statues. Do not bow to idols or statues. Do not offer sacrifices to idols or statues. Blasphemy: Do not curse God. Do not use God's name in vain. *Worship the true God alone, do not worship false gods. (Worshiping Jesus is also seen as blasphemy.)* Murder: Against murdering anyone, self defense is permitted. *Mass murderers will be given the death penalty. (Abortion is classified as mass murder.)* Theft--Do not: Steal. Rob. Overcharge -Have you noticed how many of today’s large corporations seem to be pushing the “progressive” message about “fairness, PRIDE, tolerance, inclusion, diversity, equity” while also overcharging for their products? And how many of these corporations are known to overwork and underpay their workers, reaping huge profits for themselves as they commit wage theft? Kidnap. Move a landmark. (Probably not good for BLM/Antifa activists who tear down historical landmarks.) Do not use false weights and measurements Do Not Covet Sexual Immorality-No: Bestiality Incest *Homosexuality* Justice Laws-Against: Bribery Favoritism Condemning the Innocent Must- *Administer the death penalty* Treat people equally before the law What is the “7 Mountains Mandate” (Dominionism/Dominion Theology)? Supposedly there are 7 “mountains” of global society-Arts and Entertainment, Education, Economy, Family, Government and Military, Media and Religion. (Note: The US voting machines are called “Dominion”.) According to this false teaching, by conquering these 7 “mountains”, the Kingdom of God will be established.

I’m a BIG Batman fan and this 10 episode season is a slog at times. Placing modern 21st century social attitudes in a show set in the 1940s SIMPLY DOESN’T FIT. It’s unfortunate that institutional racism existed then but that’s the way it was. A contemporary setting would have worked much better for what they wanted to do . But they wanted it both ways and this show makes questionable choices, story-wise. The Batman platform is surprisingly durable and adaptable. But it seems like they made all the wrong choices. I’ll finish the season but I doubt I’ll return to it.

[@riopato2009]

[@SeasideDetective2]

The sad thing is, it IS possible to tell a story set in the early-to-mid twentieth century with diverse characters and NOT have it turn into a racial morality play. Simply make the setting as unconventional as the cast. Set it in Greenwich Village in New York, perhaps, and make all the characters bohemian artists and such. Or make them all communists, because then not only would they genuinely believe in racial equality, but they'd all face the same discrimination from society because all communists were considered equally bad. Sure, the show would get called "lefty," but if you do ANY kind of diverse period show you'll get called lefty anyway. You might as well be brave about it.

All the show had to do is make a 40s themed detective noir show that adapts Bill Finger Bob Kane era Batman comics. Instead we get Bruce Timm’s fanfiction of Batman.

[@SeasideDetective2]

I had a tricky time growing up trying to decide whether period pieces were more annoying to me when they hit me over the head with a "People were racist back then!" tirade or when they sugarcoated the period with politically correct casting. I always found the former more offensive: I don't like it when the left preaches at me any more than when the right preaches at me. There is a third option, though. You can always do exactly what filmmakers in the actual '40s did: make everyone white so they'll get along racially, thereby ducking the issue entirely. Yes, people would complain at first, but most of them would come to understand. You can always reboot the show in the present day if the ratings drop too dramatically.

[@SynthwavelLover]

​@@SeasideDetective2 This show being bad has nothing to do with having a variety of races in the 40s- it's just poorly written. Race or gender swapping fictional characters can work it's how you write them. Nobody would have cared if the whole show was white hello? How is the left "preaching" at you anyway? By having minorities exist and having two chicks kiss? These things can work but again- it's just bad writing. Even in the original BTAS you had Harley and Ivy borderline together (there's heavy hinting).

I think personally both are alright but neither nearly as good as their 90's counterparts to be honest. Not a fan of the race and gender swaps but I guess to be fair here, it's a different universe set in the 40's but I digress. Wasn't a fan of gender swapped Penguin.

Problem with the race/gender swap in this show, is the fact it’s suppose to be the 1940’s. This show heavily marketed around being an Elseworld period piece. But there nothing here that indicates that. Way too diverse for that time period. There not even a reference to WWII for petesakes? It like they want to keep their cake and eat.

[@MKF30]

@ffjj3964 Yeah honestly the raceswap especially for the 40's probably wouldn't work, yet at the same time unlike the X-Men show which takes place in the same universe they pretty much said "hmm let's change this character, that character, these relationships, kill off those favs because" The Batman show while no where close to TAS is it's own thing, entirely different universe so from a multiversal perspective it technically makes sense regardless of the flaws. I'm against the race and genderswapping, but at the same time it's an entirely different universe so I find it slightly more tolerable than messing around with an already established universe(Thank God this isn't the same universe as TAS) I think even they knew better especially Timm.... At the end of the day it's still an elseworld period piece and elseworld/alternate reality though, may not be executed the best but it's still another universe regardless. The WWII thing to be fair, Watchmen changed things in history in that universe that didn't happen the same exact way like the Vietnam War for example. That stuff doesn't matter to me as much as what would be more appropriate for that time period.

Any historical events at the time. Or bother with any historical handicaps. So I ask, why did they set this in the 1940’s at all?

[@MKF30]

@@ffjj3964 I think you can do a period piece so long as you follow *most* rules of that era, but that doesn't mean you have to follow *all* however so long as its a fictional thing you're doing.. Red Son, Watchmen among many other DC elseworlds or alternate universes don't follow real history to a T or they altered things at times, but those stories overall are much better than this one thus people forgive it. Is all I'm saying... They set it in the 40's for that Noir style Batman, personally I wouldn't have done it in the 40's as some of their changes just don't make much sense for that era. However, everything else doesn't have to be 100% accurate/reality since this is fiction too at the end of the day. There's a whole video about how Superman and Spider-Man technically can't work due to real life physics...but do you care about that stuff I ask?

The "woke' stuff was bad but I tried to enjoy it anyway. Seeing Bruce be a dick to Alfred just lost me though.

[@DarkMegaPlague]

the caped crusader had the magic about the looks of the characters, the citys atmosphere and some story plots were decent,,, but race swap and killing of the gingers were an turnoff.

EVERYTHING coming from Hollywood is mediocre. Hiring based on DEI guarantees mediocre at best. All the best stories are coming out of South Korea and Japanese anime.

One thing I don't like about the show among others, os how they had Bruce treat Alfred, in no other iterations have I seen bruce treat Alfred like dirt...

[@Counterslam]

If there's one thing I've learned about Bruce Timm over the past few years is that he is part of the crowd that is pushing all this woke garbage. He's just showing who he really is right now.

@@erikbihari3625 i grew up playing the games and watching the shows faithfully every morning but what I'm saying is the comparison is disrespectful
