This is more of a rhetorical question because the answer is no, there really isn\u2019t.\u00a0 Obviously this is subject to personal preference, but I can\u2019t imagine that I\u2019m the only one out there who has this particular opinion.<\/span><\/p>\n I had finished watching WWE Elimination Chamber<\/em>, and it was a pretty mediocre show overall; although the men\u2019s and women\u2019s chamber matches had outcomes that I didn\u2019t get right, the Becky vs. AJ and the Balor vs. Punk matches were very obviously predictable.\u00a0 Danhausen being the mystery crate reveal made me feel like the whole buildup is this generation\u2019s Gobbledy Gooker<\/a>, but probably more accurately the WWE\u2019s need for a wacky character they can push towards the younger audiences and kids to help move merch and gain wider appeal.<\/span><\/p>\n But the overall feeling I had once the show was over was general disappointment and apathy, but mostly disappointment that mythical wife had actually paid real money for ESPN Unlimited so that I could watch PLEs, and it just so happens that the first one I come across is a relative clunker.\u00a0 I think it might be a safe bet that once Wrestlemania<\/em> passes, to pull the plug on the service since we already have like four other services we\u2019re subscribed to.<\/span><\/p>\n Anyway, seeing as how the night wasn\u2019t quite too late even though I would benefit from getting more sleep than I do on the regular, I felt like I didn\u2019t want to end my television watching experience with an underwhelming wrestling show, so I switched to HBO Max where I knew that they had the entire library of Batman the Animated Series<\/em>, and where I\u2019d been watching an episode here or there, because it was perfect in the sense that it was high quality content that I\u2019d already seen a million times and could multitask during, and the episodes are just 22 minutes, which means they\u2019re no major time commitment.<\/span><\/p>\n It was while watching the episode of Clayface\u2019s debut<\/a>, it dawned on me that the reason why I seem to feel that Batman TAS has become somewhat of a default fallback, is because of what I just said, that it was the perfect show.\u00a0 Not just for the aforementioned reasons, but holistically, the show is just perfect, in just about every other way as well.<\/span><\/p>\n Art direction, execution, writing, music, an entry of DC comics storytelling, light years ahead of its time, parading around as a kid\u2019s show.\u00a0 Believe me, I have seen every single episode of the show, and I\u2019m having a really difficult time at thinking of any episodes that are actual 100% clunkers, with no redeemable quality to them, and by that criteria, I can\u2019t say there are really any.\u00a0 Sure, there are some episodes that I may want to skim or possibly skip, like the one where Batman is gassed by the Penguin, and he has to be saved by some kids, but by and large, I anticipate myself going to really enjoy the steady, gradual and methodical rewatch of Batman TAS with an episode or two every now and then.<\/span><\/p>\n And anyone who knows me knows that I almost never rewatch anything, because there\u2019s so much content out in the world, lots of which I want to watch, that I very seldom go back and rewatch anything, because that time could be spent imbibing on something I haven\u2019t seen before.<\/span><\/p>\n But Batman TAS?\u00a0 It\u2019s perfect in just about every subjective and measurable metric, and the most important thing is that it\u2019s extraordinary ability to chase any shitty example of viewing media and bring me back believing that there\u2019s good television out there, and that there\u2019s really no bad time to catch an episode of the TAS.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is more of a rhetorical question because the answer is no, there really isn\u2019t.\u00a0 Obviously this is subject to personal preference, but I can\u2019t imagine that I\u2019m the only one out there who has this particular opinion.
