    Okay, but where is schway? I know it is technically older than 90s, but Batman Beyond has cemented that word in my vocab. Even though I barely ever get a chance to use it.

    I personally am not a fan of a lot of modern 2020s slang but chud is one I do get behind.

      Cyberpunk / Deus Ex imagined Batman was SO GOOD and for some reason they just stopped bothering with it.

      I’ll never understand letting that genius storyline slip through the cracks. That show was awesome.

        From my understanding, higher ups weren’t pleased with the first season because they wanted something more like 2000s The Batman, but with a teen/younger Batman. Something less BTAS and more marketable and enjoyable to a wide net of younger viewers, and having Batman take on corporate corruption isn’t what they envisioned.

        But yeah, season 1 with all the beef with Powers and corporate shenanigans going on was a welcome change of pace for a Batman character.
