I also enjoyed their use of Killer Moth in the show, Neron didn't get used but I think this worked just as fine and as practical. The thing is whether people feel he's an insult to the comics or not, Burton's vision of Penguin is VERY popular. It was a magnificent performance and a magnificent portrayal by DeVito.

Penguin's deformality is the key to him being called the Penguin, he can be refined or filthy but in the end, it's those physical deforms that make him unique so it's no surprise they'd focus on it so much. Clock King wasn't a boss situation but it was very similar, it was still anger pointed towards an "spiting" man.

The series often left too many easy reasons to be evil by simply blaming "someone else". It works for some like the Mad hatter and Mr. Freeze but for someone as smart as the Riddler, it just seemed so petty to turn to a life of crime over losing your job. Especially considering what happened to Hatter and Freeze.

I mean they REALLY lost everything and for Riddler to follow a similar formula it just didn't sit right with me. But like i always say, there are things I liked in Batman: AS, and there are things The Batman did that I liked that AS didn't come up with. One thing I admire is their bringing back old D grade villains.

Guys like Ragdoll, Gearhead and Black Mask are a real treat to see. Btw, I suggest we might want to take this discussion to the "Batman" thread monk as this is veering off course and speaking of which, the last Tv I have watched tonight would be:

"Invader Zim"
