They have a chance to be reverent to the original while really making something special and new if they do it right.

Exactly. I love how BTAS had a modern and vintage feel to it at the same time. We need to see some more of that now with current animation tech. I'm not opposed to the JLU, but that show wouldn't have been possible without BTAS leading the way for it. Let's get a great Batman show in production first.

But we’ve already had a great Batman show, how many more times do we need to see him
Fight the joker? And maybe it’s the pessimist in me but I can’t even imagine the ungodly amount of Harley they’ll shove into this thing.

Batman fans generally don't get tired of Batman. Also they can add newer villains.

Also we've already had a great Superman and Justice League show to your point. So if its already been done why do those again?

Because justice league has hundreds of members to work with within the already established confines of the show. There are infinite options for storytelling where as Batman can have the occasional guest character, but overall it’ll be focused almost exclusively on him.

I know I’m being a negative jerk as usual, but I am excited to see this and do hope it does well, I just wish it was a bit more.

TAS was capturing lightning in a bottle.

I don't see that happening again.
