What's the best Batman: The Animated Series title card? (UP: Poll added—vote NOW!)

[Deleted member 2226]

I thought it was a shame The New Batman Adventures did away with the title cards.

But in some regards the animation is more fluid and consistent then the original B:TAS, the latter of which suffered from inconsistent animation (lots of off-model characters).

Yeah while not every redesign was an improvement, as a whole the animation was much nicer. It's just a shame it lost some of the atmosphere in the process—these title cards being a good example. Some of the homages to classic films are pretty perfect.

Imagine all the cool art we'd have if they used 'em for Superman, JL, and JLU!

I've been waiting for a series of poster prints that have all the title cards for YEARS now. Wish DC would just do it, they'd sell like crazy.

This was my favorite

Is this streaming anywhere?

Sorry see that was already asked.

 

[MisterHero]

Harley's Holiday is prety great

 

[Nocturnowl]

Dreams in Darkness creates such a visual with so little, probably gonna have to go with that

 

[Watershed]

I love these title cards. I can't pick just one.

 

[Garlador]

All of them are so good.

Even if the episode itself didn't quite do justice to the character, there's something to be said about the simple title and appearance of "the man who broke the Bat".

[Jersey_Tom]

The real crime here is that these haven't been made as an official art book or as prints/posters.

That's a license to print money right there.

 

[Ginger Hail]

Both of the Freeze ones are really good.

 

[DeathPeak]

Deep Freeze, Mudslisde, and Two-face are so freaking good.

This artistry was wasted on me as a kid.

Yup, it's between these three. Two-Facd is my personal favorite.

 

[SimonSimon]

It's gotta be Heart of Ice.

 

[Coolverine]

if they made high quality prints of these, i'd be hard pressed to decide which couple to buy and display. they're all works of art, but i can't have a house whose walls are made up of batman art in their entirety.

 

[Gengahrrr]

Found it!

Man, how did Adventure Time get one of these but this GOAT series of title cards didn't?

 

[Nome]

 

[Zaied]

All of them are oozing with style and atmosphere, much like the series itself, but if I was forced to choose one, I'd probably give the nod to His Silicon Soul:

In a world where we got some kind of "Batman vs Terminator" miniseries in the 90s, I would envision it having a kickass cover like that.

 

[Vulcano's Assistant]

Imagine all the amazing concept art that went into this show.

 

[Deleted member 21339]

These are amazing but you might want to cut down on all these choices

[Merv]

I don't know, but man those are all cool.

 

[MetalMagus]

Limiting myself to just 1 per poll, went with Appointment in Crime Alley, The Man Who Killed Batman, and Harley's Holiday.
Two Face, Mudslide, Deep Freeze would be runners up.

Avatar is so unlike the others I almost thought it was put in as a joke.

 

[Barrel Cannon]

There's so many good ones.

 

[Dwebble]

As always with B:TAS, Almost Got 'Im is the best.

 

[Kelsdesu]

The title cards combined with Shirley Walker's score are just so good.

Really not appreciated enough. The sheer artistry of the whole production. Unmatched.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

OK, so I thought this place loved and appreciated BTAS, but there's only 30 votes per poll up there. And that's with allowing multiple choices per person!

STAND AND BE COUNTED. VOTE

This is literally impossible.

I am unable to choose one, as they are all awesome.

CHOOOOOOOOOOOSE

 

[Dynedom]

Man, I love Batman TAS. It's a show I expect to watch with my future kids one day.

edit: I can't choose. So many are fucking spectacular. Heart of Ice, Mudslide. Ugh.

you can vote for more than one option in each poll

 

[Mandos]

I love this one.

This ones up there, heck they even made a social game(based on poker) based off this one

 

[Dwebble]

I'm no coward- one vote each poll.

Appointment in Crime Alley
Almost Got 'Im
Deep Freeze

BOOM

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

Bane, Two Face, Appointment in Crime Alley and Catwalk are insanely good.

Bane is my favorite,

 

[imbarkus]

What do you think these were done in? Acrylic? On black canvas, like so many of the show's backdrops?

It occurs to me that a fantastic art series project, even an excuse to finally try painting, would be to make these for the S4 episodes and Batman Beyond, or evening the rest of the DCAU!

 

[Sneaky Gato]

I limited myself to three per poll. But if I had to pick a top one it would be Beware the Grey Ghost.
