I don't tend to tag specific people in these kinds of posts (sorry). But I do invite everyone to join in the game, and I will add in my #recipe for my favorite food, to make it more interesting.

Favorite Food: Ground Beef & Rice

Season: Early Spring/Early Fall (60°F--70°F when in Chicago)

Color: Purple

Drink: Black Tea w/ a little sugar & honey

Anime or Light Novel: Not an anime fan per se, so I would have to go with either #SupermanTheAnimatedSeries or #BatmanTheAnimatedSeries.

Recipe: GROUND BEEF & RICE * 1 lb Ground Beef (Browned) * ½ Tblsp EACH: Onion Powder, Black Pepper, & Thyme (If using garden-grown Thyme, use only a pinch or the leaves from one sprig) * ⅓ Cup Red Cooking Wine OR ~4-5 Large mixing spoonfuls * ⅔ Cup Kikkoman Sauce (NOT Low Sodium!) OR ~8-9 Lrg mix spoons * 1½ to 2 Cups Generic-Brand 5-Minute Rice Brown ground beef. Add cooking wine, Kikkoman sauce, and spices. Add just enough water so all the meat will cook in the seasonings. Cook rice according to directions on box. Cook meat, stirring occasionally, until meat is just slightly moist, not completely dry. Serve meat & rice together, mixing in the serving bowl, according to taste. Generic rice absorbs the flavor better than brand-name rice, and Kikkoman brand gives a sharper flavor than other soy sauces. You will need to make more rice as you go, but fresh rice is best, so don't cook too much at once. For TWO pounds of ground beef, do not simply double the spices and sauces. Instead, use the same spices and 1-1/2 times the seasoning liquids for double the meat, to get the same flavor.

Happy 32nd anniversary to 'Batman: The Animated Series'. The show that defined the way a whole generation viewed the Dark Knight, with Kevin Conroy's human, multilayered, and empathetic Batman becoming the definitive version of the character for many.

Beyond that, with its deep and often very adult-themed storylines and characters, BTAS also made its own significant contribution in establishing animation as a serious storytelling medium, and it's no surprise that 3 decades later it stands the test of time so well.

Finished up Caped Crusader, really dug it, and then just for kicks, threw in the Animated Series DVD and watched that first episode 'On Leather Wings' to compare. Ah, Man-Bat. See, I forgot that one was the first episode of Animated Series. One of my favorite episodes of the show, and one of my favorite antagonists overall. Great juxtaposition too, to start, Man-Bat vs. Batman. And in 4:3! Such a similar feel. I still prefer Animated Series obviously (and man, I miss Kevin Conroy) but Caped Crusader was rad. Just another take from Bruce Timm - and with J.J. Abrams.

So I just finished the new animated #batman series #batmancapedcrusader and I am happy to report that it is excellent. I mean, I blasted through a whole 10 episode season in under 2 days and I almost never do that! The influence of the absolutely iconic #batmantheanimatedseries is definitely felt here, likely due to Bruce Timm again executive producing, but it's a different beast. It's not quite as good (yet) but what it does different, in my opinion, it mostly does right.

Hamish Linklater is fantastic as Bruce Wayne and Batman, not doing an impression of the late, truly great Kevin Conroy but invoking the same sense just enough to leave you feeling comfortable in this world. But he's not the Batman you may be used to either. This is a Dark Knight just starting out, cold to the rest of the world and even calling his beloved butler by his surname. The Bruce Wayne persona, as always, is just that. One of the strengths of this season, and of a continuous narrative is that we get to see Batman (and Bruce) open up and accept friends more. There are two or three brilliant moments in the season finale which slot the Batman you know into place and are truly geeky-goosebumps moments.

But this is a show that's not interested in letting Batman take the bulk of the screen time (something which I can already see people complaining about). Thankfully the supporting characters are more than compelling; Commissioner Gordon, his daughter Barbara, Renee Montoya, and that's before getting to any big villains or spoiler reveals.

Setting the show firmly in the 1940s is a stroke of absolute genius. The era just fits Batman perfectly, invoking the early comics at times and serving as a perfect place for the deftly-handled noir elements, cops vs gangsters stories, corruption, femme fatales and a city that owes as much to Orson Welles or Chinatown as it does to the four-colour DC Gotham. It just works.

There have been some changes in this series that have, naturally proved controversial. And it's 2024 so of course many of these will be branded "woke". That's absolute nonsense. The gender and race changes make perfect sense or have no negative impact. There is one change that, for me, doesn't work because it bends the character far enough to break them. And it's not a bad idea or performance, you just get the sense they shouldn't have used the familiar character name (and no it has nothing to do with gender, race or anything other than geekyness).

Highlights of the season were definitely the first few episodes. Dan Donohue's Clayface, Minnie Driver's Penguin and especially Christina Ricci's Catwoman stand out. Less impressive are Jamie Chung's Harleen Quinzel or Toby Stephens' inexplicable Gentleman Ghost. The rest of the cast are all more than solid and I can't wait to see more of those who are still around when the final big tease ends the season.

All in all not perfect but one of the best Batman things I've seen in, honestly, years. Better than the recent cartoons or big screen efforts and though it's not on the level of the virtually untouchable 1990s series it's not a million miles away. I could talk about it for ages and will definitely watch again.

Overall - 9/10

047 (1993) - 9/10
Very good episode.

1️⃣ First, because Batman is just a supporting character. Something exciting and different.

2️⃣ Second, because when the Penguin finds out that the new dear friend he’s made - after getting out of prison - is out to make a fool out of him, it’s hard not to feel for the guy.

3️⃣ Great score, too.

4️⃣ guests.

📺 My 316th of 2023. Averaging 2h14m of TV, per day.
