  • CARTOON EVOLUTION #30 / POP CULTURE EVOLUTION #3 - BATMAN
    First debuting in 1939, Batman immediately took the world by storm, blending the action-adventure of early detective Pulps, with the super heroic exploits of DC’s sensational Superman. Soon becoming one of DC’s coolest and most beloved heroes, Batman has appeared in thousands of comics and been depicted in more media than any other DC character. In this video, we’ll trace the inception and creation of the Dark Knight, spotlighting his impact on pop culture through comics, movies, series and extended media over more than 80 years. Spotlighting his various on-screen performances by the likes of Robert Pattinson, Ben Affleck, Christian Bale, David Mazouz, George Clooney, Val Kilmer, Michael Keaton, Adam West, Lewis G. Wilson, Robert Lowery - and those who've voiced him in cartoons, including Kevin Conroy, Diedrich Bader, Bruce Greenwood, Roger Craig Smith, Jason O'Mara, Rino Romano, Ben McKenzie, Jensen Ackles, Peter Weller, David Giuntoli, and many, many more.

      @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

    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.

    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.

    I listened to a Batman short from the 60th Anniversary of Batman, where Batman is portrayed as being 60. 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..."

    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.

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

      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.

    Very impressive job! Batman is my favorite superhero but even I learned a few things from this video. There were a hell of a lot of versions to cover and you managed to hit just about all of them. My favorite adaptation of Batman is Kevin Conroy on the Animated Series. For live action, my favorite was Christian Bale.

  • @stanleyteriaca2184

    So, I was thinking. I would love to see the evolution of Sailor Moon. Things to highlight:
    * The original manga look.
    * The 90"s anime.
    * The failed Toonmakers pilot.
    * The Sera Myu musicals in Japan.
    * The live action Sailor Moon show.
    * Sailor Moon Crystal and the two Sailor Moon Eternal movies.

    No mention of Under the Red Hood? Which was an animated classic. And Batman Forever was given better than mixed reviews here in the States. Aside from those misses, this was a great docu-vid. Can't wait for the new animated series in 2023.

    It was Beetlejuice in '88 that got Burton the directing job for '89 Batman, not Pee Wee Herman from '85. It was also Beetlejuice that got Keaton the role as Batman since Burton liked working with him. Ivan Reitman was going to direct Batman as a dark comedy starring Bill Murray and Eddie Murphy before Tim was considered.
