You know, I looked at some of the old 1990's Batman cartoons and thought they really held up.  I used to like a show called "Tale Spin" that Disney made.  I thought it was pretty cool.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

You guys heard of ReBoot? Was it broadcasted in the US?
Didn't like it. Yes, it was.

Batman the Animated Series was good. The later series less so.

PDH!

The 90s series truly holds up. Besides the stories, I guess it's the orchestral soundtrack, plus a film noir/art deco style that makes it more abstract and less "contemporary".
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

I hated Tale Spin. And Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers.  :mad:

I enjoyed Dino Riders. :)

Also the VHS version had a kickass intro title scene:

You know, now that I see that show as an adult it's clear that that frog guy was just driving off space hippies from his space yard.
