The sad fact is there might have been some PS2 games that looked better... lol Probably not by 2001. Spiderman on the PS4 looks *tons* better than the intro of that show, tho it is 15+ years newer. They'd have freaked out over having a PS4 to render the opening scene on. That would have been Pentium III and Athlon XP back then, virtually no difference between the desktop and server chips.
Even the ones in the 90s Schumacher Batman films are great. And the cityscape shots in Catwoman (2005) are probably the best part of the movie... not that that's saying all that much!
True Story: I won the official viewer contest for the BIRDS OF PREY television show. The original prize was a trip to Hollywood to visit the set of the program. However, the prize was changed because the show was cancelled. The new prize was to attend a taping of GROUNDED FOR LIFE as well as a weekend pass to Universal Studios Hollywood. The funny thing is, I almost missed out on the prize all together. I was notified by mail. Back then, 99% of the mail that I got that was NOT from a relative or employment was junk mail. I nearly tossed out the prize letter without reading it. Thank goodness something compelled me to open and read the letter. The trip was very fun. I went with my sister. The GFL episode was very funny. Universal Studios was intriguing.
@@xanderm6090 I was gonna say that "Smallville" had its problems too, although "sucked" is pretty harsh. I maintain that seasons 1-3 were good on the whole, even if none of the individual episodes stand out as being particularly great. I heard that it was originally supposed to be 4-5 seasons, but it was so successful that they kept adding seasons. I'm not sure if that's true (and I still don't care enough to look it up), but it makes a lot of sense. From the beginning of the season until the end, the story actually progressed, until season 4. Season 4 had several of my favorite episodes, but it was just kind of spinning its wheels; at the end of the season, nothing had really happened (which makes sense because they only had an idea for another season but they ended up adding 6 more, so they just had adventure after adventure, with no real story progression). So... I have no problem with seasons 1-3, and 4 was fun enough, but 5-10? Throw it out. Real stupid to me that they more than doubled their seasons beyond what was originally planned, yet kept to their "no flying, no tights" rule. That rule made sense for only 4 seasons, but they added *SO* much stuff; they added Lois, and Metropolis... and then Doomsday! You can't add all this Superman mythos while maintaining that he's not Superman. Solid casting though, I think. Welling was excellent, Rosenbaum ditto. Chloe was charming, although I guess that took a turn. I liked Erica Durance as Lois, and both Green Arrow and Aquaman (Thad!) were pretty solid, at least. Lana sucked though. That actress can't act her way out of a paper bag.
This is how I feel about Grace Choi on Black Lightning... Comics Grace Choi: Half-Amazonian, Asian-American w/origins from the multicultural, Egyptian Amazon tribe of Bana-Mighdall. TV Grace Choi: lul shapeshifter
Love the "ACTION" logo in the bottom right of some of the footage, very much indicating the Canadian source of the stuff you're using. (Action was a Canadian channel that shuffled off this mortal coil long before it ceased to be.) Aussies commenting on a Canadian copy of an American TV show... it's so meta-colonial...
I fully endorse this. I rewatched some of it recently. It's not bad, it's just VERY early 90s 😂 Oh! And do Superboy! For real Caravan of Garbage-quality garbage. The acting in the first season is so bad they surgically altered Lex Luthor to replace him with another actor in the second season. It did not help 😆
they will but they gotta wait till it's relevant so they can capitalise on it trending, because god forbid they cover content that doesn't tie in to something recent.
Got shut down last year, became Adult Swim, apparently, though Action before that pretty much had a viewership of four people, all of whom worked in the control room.
I remember watching the final episode of this. Being a kid, I never knew Harley's real name, so the Harleen Quinzel thing never mean anything to me. I always watch the show once a while and always wonder "who is this woman" she seems important. Then I was mindblown to see her in her Harley-esque getup in the final episode. "Oh! She's Joker's girl!"
I think there's a difference in that kind of storyline though. When Batman retires it's because there's no reason for the Batman to exist anymore. Idk the BvS Snyderverse reason for his retirement, but like The Dark Knight Returns and The Dark Knight Rises, he's retired because the Batman is no longer needed, and he returns when things have gotten bad enough that he is. In this show it always felt like he left because he was traumatized and couldn't handle being Batman anymore. As for Batwoman, idk about that show, did he die or something? Or did he leave Gotham? That's the part that feels wrong.
Fun fact: this version of the birds of prey that you guys are talking about was wiped from existence by the anti-matter wave in(I think) part 3 of The CW’s Crisis on infinite earths
I've only been watching for about 6 months, so on easy days I'm watching some older videos I haven't seen. And I have never even heard of this show. I'm the right age, the right amount of nerd, and I just missed the whole thing. Strange.
Dina Meyer who played Oracle on the show also came back for Crisis on Infinite Earths and the earth the show is set on (Earth-203) is a reference to when the show was cancelled, I was surprised Rachel Skarsten didn’t return as Black Canary during Crisis despite the fact she’s on Batwoman
This show was connected to Smallville and there was an easter egg in Birds of Prey where they mention meteor rocks giving people powers in Kansas... and Smallville at this time was at the top of their game during this time.
I mean Smallville was on it's second season when it aired, and I wisely chose that, also, I freakin LOVE My Hero, I watched it every Saturday afternoon in the mid 2000's on PBS. (The worst CG cityscape transitions still goes to Catwoman.)
So I tabbed out to pull something up related to Batman and then this happens 4:18 LOL You guys are one of the best duos on YT by the way, always great content and EXTREMELY entertaining. Keep up the great work!
Not related to this show, but the (R rated) Birds of Prey film missed an opportunity for a tied up Black Canary to lure Zsasz in close to whisper in his ear and blow his head off through his ear canal. Sorry, I just came from The Boys, but amirite?!
2002: Mutant X wasn't great, but it was better than BoP. Also, Star Trek Enterprise was in its second (and worst!) year, still had some good eps though.
There’s apparently a new Fantasy Island movie coming out for some reason. How about taking a look at the crappy 90s reboot TV series with Malcolm McDowell?
Started rewatching this show recently. The soundtrack is packed with early 2000s edgy metal pop - they even had Evanescence's Bring Me Back to Life. But what surprised me was that during one of the fight scenes, they play Porcupine Tree's Wedding Nails! Wasn't expecting instrumental progressive metal in there.
But the show was through the network. It has to go through parent companies. Think of it like a comic shop selling comics. The comic shop pays DC to be able to distribute it, instead of it being supplied directly from DC.
They had some lame excuse about not wanting to confuse the viewers... That's why they took Deathstroke and the Suicide Squad out of Arrow, removed Harley Quinn (she was in Argus penitentiary). They don't want to water down Batman, admittedly he is a bit over exposed at the moment, but it's not like the movie versions are doing him justice. The last good Batman we had was in the animated series and Justice League, tho the new animated Batman isn't bad. The movie versions have never shown him to be the smartest guy in the room, he's just gadget man with a chip on his shoulder. Affleck was the smartest so far but he's still gadget man and went gun crazy, something Batman would never do. Bale wasn't bad but the only thing he did to show he was the smartest around was at the end of Dark Knight Rises where he outsmarted Bane.
I kinda would've liked this more if it was more definitively apart of the tim burton batman universe and kinda carried over the look and feel of those movies.
The cgi city reminds me of those legendary poorly looking games we used to play in the arcades. You know the really plastic looking graphics of the 2000/
Also, why is it whenever villains come up with a way to create humans artificially, they always go "right, well this is going to be an assassin" or some variant of an illegal occupation. Surely one guy on R&D would be like me and just add in "Hey, just gonna toss this out there. If this doesn't work out cause Batman usually ruins everything, maybe we can just grow human organs and sell them. That's quite a lucrative market. We might not get the same margins as our assassin business but we also wouldn't be dealing with batman beating our asses every week. Just a suggestion."
At least this was actually trying to be Birds of Prey. The movie is not. It's a Harley Quinn movie. In this CW BoP Universe Catwoman was a metahuman like Batman Returns, so that is the metahuman . It did have a little bit of a fan base, which is likely why it got a bit of closure with those last episodes.
Yeah, but fans that create "backlash" are always entitled little assholes that will always whine about something because their lack of social life leaves them nothing better to do.
My brother and I watched Birds of Prey. We liked it, even though we knew it was terrible. Another show we liked around that time was John Doe, which wasn't a superhero show per se. There weren't a lot of options for superhero shows at that time: Smallville and ???
I'm somebody said this down below, but the penultimate iteration of the baby-assassin at 8:35 is the actor who played young Jack O'Neill on an episode of Stargate SG-1 when Jack gets de-aged. I'll show myself out.
Love it guys, keep it up! Also take a Look at Buckaroo Banzai Adventures Across the 8th Dimension! Jeff Goldblum, Christopher Lloyed and a bunch of others. Solid gold.
I liked the second season of Dark Angel, hot lady beats people up featuring weird animal people. Shit was cash to ten year old me, and she was a bike messenger, everyone was inexplicably a bike messenger in 2000 and I love it.
They should do caravan of garbage on alien nation is was a show on fox where aliens drank rotten milk.. and there was a show I think it was called mantis and it was about a crippled black super hero...
"The pretender? The pretender!?" Haha, i forgot about that show. I just remember seeing commercials for that show everytime you would watch anything on nbc.
That show has one of my favorite character introductions. Miss Parker getting off the Helicopter onto a oil tanker smoking a cigarette, that's everything you need to know about her.
Early 2000's CGI cityscapes are a forgotten art.
And thank God for that.
Just remember, effects don't have to look real to be good.
The sad fact is there might have been some PS2 games that looked better... lol
Probably not by 2001.
Spiderman on the PS4 looks *tons* better than the intro of that show, tho it is 15+ years newer.

They should do caravan of garbage on alien nation is was a show on fox where aliens drank rotten milk.. and there was a show I think it was called mantis and it was about a crippled black super hero...
What show/movie is the clip from at the 9:50 mark.
It’s me. They don’t love me.
you know what you did
Guys, Firefly was on in 2002!
Look at The Amazing Spider-Man films and The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
I believe you must be talking about the "Spider-Man" films. The _Amazing_ Spider-Man are the Andrew Garfield ones and they came out much later

I like the first one. Take it your not a fan.
@@anubusx Oh sorry, guess I assumed wrong lol no I'm not a fan but of course everyone is entitled to their own opinion :)
The league of gentlemen.
9:52 What's that from?
A good superhero show in 2002? Smallville. You guys should've covered that a long time ago...
5:40 I knew that was gonna come back. It was only a matter of time. 🤣🤣
"The pretender? The pretender!?" Haha, i forgot about that show. I just remember seeing commercials for that show everytime you would watch anything on nbc.
I loved it, but nobody ever references it, I'm glad they did!
That show has one of my favorite character introductions. Miss Parker getting off the Helicopter onto a oil tanker smoking a cigarette, that's everything you need to know about her.
I LOST it when Ben edited in Greedo saying Macklunkey when Maso said clunky.
This show is the best representation of 2000s superhero stuff. and I love it for that.
It's ironic love, but it's love.
I lol'd hard when those 2002 posters popped up along the bottom, great work Ben 14:19
Look at smallville
"There is some Kung Fu-ing about" is my new favorite phrase.
Ian Abercrombie was in Army of Darkness!
