That'd take the anime stylings better, I'd have thought...), but not bad, noy bad at all.thekelvingreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928260185408072124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-1130292909768676022005-10-25T21:15:00.000-05:002005-10-25T21:15:00.000-05:00Oh, I can understand your feeling, Vincent.Still, ...Oh, I can understand your feeling, Vincent.<BR/><BR/>Still, I wish you <B>would</B> watch it.

And it's nice to know I'm not totally alone in this, as most of TWoP is busy tearing it a new one right now. I still think the regular series is middling at best but it seems to be getting better, and for what it's worth (i.e. nothin') I even like the current cartoon Penguin, character design, voice, and all. And I thought the animated Vicki Vale was cute as a button.Jeremy Rizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08480479249595700846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-1130280129285829112005-10-25T17:42:00.000-05:002005-10-25T17:42:00.000-05:00Hmm... perhaps not.Oh, if ONLY there were someone ...Hmm... perhaps not.<BR/><BR/>Oh, if ONLY there were someone who could explain it to me.<BR/><BR/>When I'm not being impatient, of course.Scipiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16217376618860561999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-1130274378432562192005-10-25T16:06:00.000-05:002005-10-25T16:06:00.000-05:00Yes, Scip but did you understand it?Yes, Scip but did you understand it?Devon Sandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08223057696498728357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-1130273517308008862005-10-25T15:51:00.000-05:002005-10-25T15:51:00.000-05:00Still not a fan of "The Batman", and yet I was of ...Still not a fan of "The Batman", and yet I was of "Batman Beyond."
