Thank you and good night.
...Seriously though, it's
amazing how well BTAS has stood the test of time. It was radical and daring for it's time, and even compared to the shows of nowadays it's pretty dark and mature for a kids show. Hell, I think I've enjoyed it
more watching it as an adult than I did as a child, as a lot of the stuff I was too young to really understand.
...Also it made Mr. Freeze
awesome and spawned not one but
two of my favourite female comics characters, The Joker's lovably peppy sidekick Harley Quinn (naturally) and the tough-as-nails lesbian (well, they never said outright on the show that she was one, but still!) cop Renee Montoya, one of the main characters of Gotham Central (my favourite Batman comic series despite the fact that the Bat himself hardly ever showed up in it) and more recently the successor to The Question (AKA that awesome faceless conspiracy nut from Justice League, which isn't
as old but is still an awesome show). Quite a legacy for what was supposedly a kids show, huh~?
