Evolution of BATMAN - 83 Years Explained | CARTOON EVOLUTION

[@benmalsky9834]

How interesting that several actors who auditioned for Batman but didn’t get the part would later play him in later productions.

[@DktaJ2021]

I bet they all were extremely excited when they had their chance and spotlight as the bat

[@benmalsky9834]

@@DktaJ2021 I honestly didn’t know that Keanu Reeves auditioned for Batman in Forever to replace Keaton before Kilmer got the part, and now nearly three decades later, he’s voicing Batman in a new animated film! Funny how life works sometimes.

[@javierservigon]

it's the same with james bond. Moore, Dalton and Brosnan were all set to play 007 way before they actually did it.

[@Viking_Luchador]

@Javier Servigon true. Roger Moore was Ian Fleming's original choice for Dr. No, but Cubby Broccoli saw something more in Sean Connery. He was considered to replace Connery in OHMSS, but was already committed to The Saint. Timothy Dalton auditioned for Live and Let Die, but was thought to be too young. Pierce Brosnan was considered for The Living Daylights, but like Moore he had already committed to Remington Steele

[@aaroncrilly2005]

Bill Finger did more for the character than Bob Kane ever did

[@LowellLucasJr.]

Sadly Bob had to be the regrettable face for Batman, but Bill Finger will now get the recognition he deserves for making Batman what he is today!

I saw one person put it quite well. “Bob Kane invented Batman, Bill Finger invented everything you like about Batman”

Dont forgrt to give some credit to Jery Robinson! Not to take away from anything he did, but its like how Stan Lee overshadowed Steve Ditko and Jack Kirby to such an extent that non comic book fans give him credit for things he had nothing to do with

My personal favorite actor who portrayed Batman was none other than Adam West.He was the very first actor that I had seen playing the Caped Crusader in a television series that had come out during the 1960s.West also played the hero with the very best acting that really brought the character to life.Him and actor Burt Ward(Robin)”Zapped”and”Kayoed”into our television sets with the most classic series of the Dynamic Duo.Even the crafty villains such as the Joker(Cesar Romero),the Penguin(Burgess Meredith),the Riddler(Frank Gorshin and John Astin)and the Catwoman(Julie Newmar,Lee Ann Meriwether and Aretha Kitt) made the series both a success and cult favorite.This is one”Dark Knight”that will be cherished forever…Same Bat Time…Same Bat Channel!!!…Karl Schumaker 🦇

As an '80s kid I vividly remember the controversy over Batman Returns. My mom wouldn't let me go see it as she'd heard it was too violent and "adult". Joke's on her, I saw it at a friend's birthday party anyway. :)

[@pan-semitistcommunist4181]

Gonna just use this as a chance to gush about how fucking awesome Batman Beyond was. That show is such a perfect continuation to the Batman Animated universe, Terry McGuinness is actually a pretty awesome batman, and i also just love the concept of a Cyberpunk take on the Batman universe. I desperately want a Batman Beyond movie set in the Batman '89 universe that hybridizes the aesthetics of Burton's Batman and Blade Runner, i really think that could work, especially with a good Director/Cinematographer combo.

[@benmalsky9834]

I’ve heard rumors of a potential Batman Beyond live-action movie with Burton and Keaton involved. I really hope that becomes a reality!

[@corruptcamerupt2344]

[@mycontentcreation5264]

If you think about it Hercules is the first superhero.

[@Pdalow]

And The Shadow predates him, so no he wasn't actually the worlds first superhero.

[@joselao9]

One could argue Popeye was the first superpowered comic book character debuting in 1929

[@ItsAVolcano]

@@Pdalow I'd argue Shadow was the last pulp hero, eventually turning into a superhero years after Golden Bat debuted.

[@elwoodjacobs4353]

Interesting fact: Batman creators Bob Kane & Bill Finger actually plagiarized from The Shadow to build the first Batman story. In 1936, three years before Batman flew onto the scene, the story "Partners of Peril" was released in The Shadow magazine. The plot involves a group of four business partners who each have a stake in a chemical company. One of them gets greedy & begins killing the other partners so he'll be the sole owner. He kills the first two & kidnaps the third & locks him in a gas chamber. All of this happens in Batman's first story, "The Case of the Chemical Syndicate". In addition to completely stealing the plot, Bob & Bill also drew the gas chamber, some gauges, & a rooftop with a brick chimney exactly how they looked in the Shadow story. Something else awfully suspect is that in the Shadow story in question, the Shadow himself is described as being a "bat-like figure" no less than *SEVEN TIMES* throughout the story. Reportedly, in other Shadow stories (or story), he is referred to as "the knight of darkness", & probably the biggest head-scratcher of all, in one Shadow story, the villain is called "the Joker" & wears _clown makeup._ I've been a Batman fan since I was five years old, so when I found this out, I was initially shocked, but then I found out that DC would eventually go on to canonize the Shadow in the pre-Crisis timeline, including a story where the Shadow & Batman meet, & Batman cites the Shadow as his biggest inspiration for getting into crime-fighting & the two shake hands, & a flashback story where young Bruce Wayne (before that fateful night) witnesses the Shadow foil a bank robbery. I will always be a Batman fan, but once I found this out, I knew I had to check out the hero from which Batman was inadvertently born, & it has been worth it. If you're a true bat-fan yourself, I highly encourage & recommend you go check out the Shadow, whether it be his original pulp magazines, his popular radio show, or the several films he's appeared in over the years. He is after all the unofficial official Bat-Father. 😁 Batman may have taken inspiration & influence from the likes of Zorro & Sherlock Holmes ( both of which are also classics), but the most direct & ingrained source is most definitely the Shadow.

[@cormacthem8406]

Beware the Batman wasn’t cancelled because of ratings, rather low toy sales which is an unfortunate large deciding factor for many animated series.

[@GamerSlyRatchet1]

It straight up didn't have a kids toyline. They released a couple of collector items, but those don't really make a profit since they're aimed at fans and collectors.

[@kevinpayton2664]

I love Batman. The late 1970's Saturday morning and the original Superfriends shows were my introductions to the character. The 1960's live action TV series was corny but as a kid watching it, I loved it. The fight scenes were my favorite part. 1992's The Animated Series is my favorite Batman production ever and is in a class of its own.

[@mci6718]

There are a countless number of Batman films and television. I appreciate how much work behind the scenes takes when making the Batman evolution video. I bet it takes Dave a month to make it, this is why Dave only makes a cartoon/pop culture evolution video a month.

I would say that the Dark Knight is still my favorite Batman film, but Robert Pattinson is now my favorite on screen Batman. I also love 1989s Batman as well.

[@matthewmartin4394]

Subscribed. When I first read the title of this vid, I looked at the runtime & thought: Yeah, right. A thorough summation of Batman's history in animation in a 40 something min vid? This was even more than that. It was a broader reflection of all Batman lure since the character's introduction...& indeed, managed to be compelling & informative despite how relatively short it is. Bravo! Very impressed.

I watched them all throughout my childhood. I also watched Superman: The Animated Series and Static Shock. I found it interesting how the Batman franchise would either be criticized for being too violent and inappropriate, or too corny and humorous. I haven't watched the latest movie, but I've heard great things about it.

One correction: Beware the Batman wasn't cancelled by bad reception, but because Mattel did not want to make a toyline for it. Toylines are how a lot of action cartoons get funded, so without toys, there was no reason to renew the show. The early 2010s actually saw a lot of action cartoon cancellations that way, and Beware was no exception.

It was a comedic take, full of geriatric jokes, such as the Batmobile was out of action due to being unable to source the fins, and Alfred reminding him to take his bus pass with him on his way out. One of the jokes was that the Riddler had kidnapped the mayor, but when Batman catches up with him and asked him why, it turns out that he had forgotten due to dementia. "Did I? I have no idea..."
