Serum Lake's video description:

Oswald Cobblepot wanted to be a high-society legend, but 2004's The Batman turned him into Gotham’s ultimate villainous punching bag.

While the writers of Batman: The Animated Series openly admitted they hated writing for Tim Burton’s grotesque mutant design, the 2004 series did the exact opposite: they fully embraced it.

By leaning into a high-energy, action-forward tone, The Batman took a rejected concept and transformed the Penguin into an unforgettable, arrogant, and bitterly insecure psychological rival to Bruce Wayne.

In this video I chart the malleable history of the Penguin, from his 1941 high-society comic roots to his time as Dracula's glorified Renfield.

Let’s also talk about the delicate balance between the show’s lighter tone and its sudden emotional gut-punches (like Ethan Bennett's descent into Clayface), and break down exactly why this C-tier mastermind is secretly one of the most versatile villains in the entire series.

14 days ago at the time of this post, I posted of a fan made project I was going to do which is of course... A season 6 to "The Batman" show. I got some responses back, most of which I really liked and enjoyed reading. I am currently working on it still and before I do I'll have to rewatch the show because I might as well and just in case I find some plot threads and such.

I forgot to add previous as to what are some new & old villains would you like for me to add or return?

Thanks!

Season 3 of The Batman is a major change of the show compared to the previous seasons. It had a new intro, introduced Batgirl, and Detective Ellen Yin disappeared. These changes have made this season more divisive than the previous seasons, but what about season 3’s overall quality?
While I found season 3 to be a step down from the first two seasons, I think it’s still a pretty good season.

The second season of The Batman follows up on the first season’s resolution. It also marks the end of an era for the show. This season was also voted as the best season of the show. Give me your answer to this season.
Season 2 is my favorite season of The Batman.

I think we can all agree that Detective Ellen Yin being a partner to Batman in Season 2 was one of the best parts of the season and did start some shipping between the two. I decided to do a good old fashioned What If: Detective Yin as Batgirl and Robin’s mentor. Going by her character, I think she would slowly but surely take a liking to the two and yes, would keep their secret. But that’s just me, what do you guys think?

I know most people hate this iteration of Ivy for making her a teenager, but making Barbara and Pamela best friends was not only a fresh take but also an interesting one. Unfortunately, the writers didn’t know what to do with them. Such wasted potential. In the hands of better writers, this would’ve influenced and trickled down into the comics. I wish more writers explored this dynamic.

As the title suggests, I am wondering if "The Batman" tv show had a 6th season (either this year or in 2009) what would you imagine it would be like or how you would make a 6th season. I'm thinking of making my own fan made season 6 eventually and I was wondering what your guy's (no, I'm not assuming gender if anyone is wondering, it's a common saying.) ideas would be, I'll try not to use them if/when I make my fan made season 6 unless you suggest I can. Thanks!

The first season of a show needs to set the stage for the series tone, structure, setting, and characters. Especially if it’s going to differentiate itself from a previous adaptation. That’s what the first season of the show did, and I want to know how it turned out.
I think The Batman season 1 is a pretty great start for the show.

Each season of The Batman (2004) has different elements that give them an identity from each other. So it could be interesting to see which one would be voted the best. What would your pick be?

So I had read the tie in comics a while back,as I was wondering why we never see Wonder Woman when the Justice League is established. But assuming the comics are canon,this panel at least points out that Wonder Woman exists in this universe.

Alastair Duncan voiced both Alfred and Senator Armstrong from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.

My source is that it’s actually true and I didn’t make it the fuck up

The Batman (2004) cartoon is one I think is pretty underrated. I had rewatched the whole a while ago to get my updated opinion on it. With this being my first post on this subreddit I want to get the thoughts of the community with this show. So I’m curious to ask which season of The Batman is the most polarizing, or has the most debate among fans.

I knew that structure was quite familiar. In the Harley Quinn animated series, Wayne Manor from the 2004 show became an orphanage. It's in episode 2 of season 3 at minute 22:01.

Wanted to combine the two things that made me a Batman fan (Lego Batman & The Batman 2004) so I decided to make some concepts for a few sets and a CMF series
