Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles trilogy (1990-1993), although II has long been outdated, overly aware of its general franchise kid demographic, cheese, Vanilla Ice not helping, but still FUN to watch all the same.

TMNT I - I'd say, 10/10

TMNT II - 7/10

TMNT III - 8/10 - not as great as the first, but better, steps more serious than the second

A messed-up kid who was willing to harm people, establishments that got in the way of his views, needed help yes, but what I'm saying, is the show is going to play him as the main villain - "bad guy" - cartoons these days - aimed for demographic - does not portray their characters with complexity.

Let's see.

I grew up watching 60s Batman, syndicated on Family Channel, thus first Batman book obtained when I started reading Batman in earnest, "Batman in the Sixties". Also have Showcase Presents Batman Vol.1-4. Despite collection of Showcases, a few Archives, Chronicles, and Batman in the Decade Series, otherwise, I LOATHE the "graphic novel", thus preferring the "real things", the comics, if affordable. Oldest comic I've got, a Detective Comics from 1963, and also hold a Batman 232 and 251 in collection.

Am a classic Batman reader, meaning I often prefer collecting his 60s to early-mid 80s adventures, don't care for Modern (Post Crisis) much - many stories - from Year One-On, just plain bores me. Although have a soft spot for Alan Grant, Knightfall, Hush, and Paul Dini, and an occassional today's Batman / Detective / Dark Knight / Batgirl / Catwoman / Arkham Unhinged, according to art /story quality, and which Bat-Villain is in it.

I occasionally watch Batman Animated Series, ONLY when it's on television, solely for time-killing purposes only, as I highly don't care for the show anymore, as I find it overrated, and it's a lot more serious (unfunny, uncartoony, boring) nature than true cartoons, such as Batman-wise, Batman: the Brave & the Bold.

Could not care any less about Bat-merchandise other than comics; why pay $20, even hundreds, on toys to statues, when it could be used instead on more comics?

Ohhh yeah; for the most part, only Batman I aknowledge as Batman is Bruce Wayne, Robin, mostly Dick Grayson, and Batgirl, 100% Barbara Gordon.

As the main villain (yes, villain), and from every place I've heard, going to be played completely and contradictingly opposite than what he originally stood for.

Personally, I found the show enjoyable, while it lasted. Joker had some funny episodes, and Penguin simply cannot be any more HILARIOUS!

However, I myself didn't care much for the final season; too much teaming-up with a not-so-subtly all-male Justice League (the show's called THE BATMAN people!), rather than the simplicities of just Batman, with Batgirl and Robin, against just-as fun Batvillain of the episode.

1) IT WILL 3-D!!! Complete with over-unusually distorted facial shape and expressions, as most CGI cartoons, including Iron Man: Armored Adventures, Star Wars: the Clone Wars, Green Lantern, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, usually does.

2) Most cartoons these days, with only few rare exceptions, tends to over-make sure its demographics are the Elementary-age children; anyone above 13 who gives them a watch nowadays, would probably feel it's talking "down" on them.

3) Its unusual, unconventional, decision of choice of characters; Katana rather than Robin, and Anarky, Professor Pyg, Mister Toad, ect.

Yes, as Dark Knight is commonly now the place if you ever want to read Scarecrow and Mad Hatter, and Detective, for most of the recent developments of Penguin.

But no, I won't consider New 52s "The Best" - yet. I'll be the judge in several more months, given they uphold the use of Riddler this Summer.

Again, Penguin

The more versatile, the more used - probably the 2nd most used, behind Joker, Bat-nemesis in all comics, non-movie merchandise, and television.

Seriously, the greatest, most celebrated, Bat-Villains, for over 45 years, are:

Joker

Penguin

Catwoman (DO NOT pull that "she's not a villain anymore Bullcrap: as long as every single Bat-Show that has her and Batman Returns still immortalizingly cemented her general portrayal to the public)

Riddler

Oh geez....seriously...read this for an answer.

Orrr....I shall read it for you...after slaying Green Lantern Zharan, and stealing his ring for himself the corps sent wave after wave of Lanterns against him to "punish" him"...hundreds were slain, thousands more were wounded and drifting across the vastness of space..."The Corps would not know another such defeat for hundreds of millennia"...until defeated by the Guardians, creating an "explosion" in the form of a hole in time, hurling Doomsday in it to cross "thousands of light years in space".

Again, this is the Brainiac most people thinks of as "Brainiac":
