The Story of Batman The Animated Series | The Heart of Batmanhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIfq88s4lzM Must See. This is in fact a documentary that covers the rebirth of TV animation in the '90's - by the creators - like
Bruce Timm and Paul Dini.
Looking at Timm's model sheets, my thought was, this man knows his
Alex Toth - there just has to be a huge influence. [And yes, he namechecks
Toth and Dan DeCarlo.
Warning - lot of criticism of '
SuperFriends' - by the team that created it!
Quotes
'Every animated cartoon or movie since 1989 has been influenced by Tim Burton's Batman. '

This is the best print.
Grunge, believe it or not, is voiced by
'Flea' But of course.
The Villain [Threshold] is voiced by
Mark Hamilll who seems to excel voicing Villians. His 'Joker' has turned heads.
Top 10 Times Mark Hamill?s Joker Terrified Ushttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nn8rKkITww Didn't know this existed. It was produced by Disney - but they must have let it die quietly.
Perhaps because of the mild and in character adolescent sexist comments by Grunge.
What stands out for me, is the bad guys, who are really nasty.
Cheers!
