Kids WB's take on the Dark Knight is a fascinating, underappreciated gem.
via HBO Max, it quickly becomes clear how abnormal it was at the time and remains still as both a Batman show and in the general superhero space. One of the things that immediately stands out about the show is its title character, who’s only a few years into being a vigilante.
fame served as the show’s art director, and there’s a distinct style to everyone that still has some charm today. Making Bane into basically Red Hulk when he uses his Venom or portraying Riddler as a goth twink on his way to the club are the kind of looks that DC stories just aren’t able to do anymore unless they’re explicitly AUs, like a mobile game.
Just from the show’s intro for its first two seasons, you’d think this was a darker take on the Dark Knight for kids, as bat screeches and guitar strums from The Edge give the show moody, noir-ish vibe where Danny Elfman’s theme forfelt grand and adventurous. Often during those first two seasons, that original intro is a misdirect, and an episode can be goofier than you’d believe.
