Tornado Champion is initially distant, but a run-in with Major Disaster jolts his emotion chip, making him more susceptible to different feelings. Main episode: Red Tornado has created a young protege, Tornado Champion, who differs from the stoical android in a vital way – he has emotions. That was actually the motivator for doing this review, to look at the episode where they did their take on the Batman origin story, plus some other great episodes too. However, cartoony appearance and sense of humour aside, the show wasn’t shy about doing some serious stories, much like how Galactic Guardians gave us The Fear. In the style of James Bond, there’s also always a pre-credits mini-episode, nine times out of ten unrelated to the main episode, and a feeling of fun throughout.
This has since opened the gates for newer takes on the Dark Knight, with Batman: The Brave and the Bold being the show to follow it.įor the uninitiated, the concept of the show is that Batman ALWAYS teams up with a hero (or villain on occasion!) to fight an enemy, as per the old The Brave and the Bold comic. Batman: The Animated Series is the stuff of legend, and Batman Beyond luckily was easily accepted as the follow-up to it, but the first non-BTAS show, The Batman, met with a lot of criticism before being appreciated for what it was. Although the DC and Marvel shows I’ve looked at recently have been from the eighties, I thought I’d quickly have a look at a show from the last ten years that did golden age comic book stories with a new twist.
