just adapt the batman TAS storyline into a movie script.....
disgraced actor who turned to the mob for experimental aging cream that fucked up his dna and became addictive
that's how they stay fucking up with batman,
they think they need to add more... just do less, and expand on what you got....
put more attention into dialogue and building suspenseful climaxes vs adding actions sequences and more characters....
TAS worked so well cuz the stores were simple...deep, but simple.....
it was the emotion that drove it, not the action.....
in comparison, today animated series have way more action, and cooler fight scenes... back n the day, it was about the story.....
and that's always been DC's strongest attribute, great characters with great stories, TAS highlighted that more than any other series....
even the future batman shows were about the gadgets, the technology, the global impact...
TAS dude be trying to solve simple shit like "who stole a drum of chemicals, and why?" "who attempted to kill the commissioner?" "who stole a priceless diamond"
like that's in, that's the whole story....
one of my favorite episodes was the sweat camp episode... all Bruce was doing was investigating kidnappings, and got amnesia,,,,
like everything doesn't have to have high stakes.....just tell good stories
TAS excelled at that
