God, you read my mind, right down to the lasers and "plasma." What the hell, censors? What the hell? I think around that time there was also an X-MEN episode set in a small Latveria-type European village where even the villagers had laser cannons.

Honestly, I worry sometimes that there will be kids who hold on to THE BATMAN with as much passion mixed with nostalgia as we do with B:TAS. I sure as hell hope not. If I ever have kids, you can bet I will start them off early on with B:TAS and only the original STAR WARS trilogy.
