(45)Mighty Max
September 1, 1993- November 25, 1994
The storyline follows Max, an adventourous preteen boy who receives a package in the mail. The package contains a small statue of a fowl, inscribed with Egyptian hieroglyphs. The translation reveals a message which reads: "You have been chosen to be the cap-bearer. Go to the mini-mart and wait for a sign, Mighty Max." Shocked by the message, Max drops the statue, shattering it and revealing a red baseball cap emblazoned with a yellow 'M'.Upon arriving at the minimart, he is chased by a lava-monster sent by the series' antagonist, Skullmaster, a megalomaniacal demon who lives within the earth and has the power to create evil minions. As Max races away, the cap he wears activates a vortex which transports him instantly from his current location (which is assumed to be the United States), to the Mongolian desert.Max is met by Virgil, a nearly-omniscient Lemurian whose appearance is that of a anthropomorphic "fowl" (running gag is that Max will refer to Virgil as a chicken to which the Lemurian replies that he is a "fowl, actually"). Virgil explains that Max's reception of the cap was prophesised circa 3,000 BC. Max, Virgil, and Norman, his Viking bodyguard(he is three times biger then Virgil) travel together around the world, defending the Earth against the minions of the evil Skullmaster (responsible for the downfall of both the Lemurians and the people of Atlantis). Norman,which may or may not be his real name,is supposedly immortal and has inspired legends of various heroes, including Sir Lancelot, Thor, Samson, and Hercules.Most plot-driving episodes involve Skullmaster or one of his demons, but in many episodes Max is required to intervene to stop an independent villain. While all episodes involve travel across Earth, many involve time travel as well, and the portal can even extend into alternate reality, as seen in The Cyberskull Virus. While generally lighthearted and comical, the show's violence and descriptions of violent acts were considered graphic by some viewers. Many episodes began with a prologue of a person being killed by the episode's menace, which were more graphically violent than most shows aimed at children.
(52)Batman: The Animated Series
September 5, 1992–September 16, 1995
The original series was partially inspired by Tim Burton's 1989 blockbuster Batman film, and initially took as its theme a variation of music written by Danny Elfman for the film. (Later episodes of the series used a new theme written in a similar style by Shirley Walker.) Another strong influence was the acclaimed Superman cartoons produced by Fleischer Studios in the 1940s. The series premiered in 1992, a few months after the successful release of the second Batman movie, Batman Returns. The art style of the original animated series was also partially a reaction against the realism seen in cartoons like The Real Ghostbusters, the second series in some ways was a further extension of that rejection of realism.Timm and Radomski designed the series by emulating the Tim Burton films' "otherworldy timelessness", incorporating "old-time" features such as black-and-white title cards, police blimps, and a "vintage" color scheme, partially inspired by the Fleischer Studios Superman cartoons of the 1940s, as well as film noir. In their constant quest to make the show darker, the producers pushed the boundaries of action cartoons: it was the first such cartoon in years to depict firearms being fired, as well as Batman actually hitting and punching the bad guys; in addition, many of the series' backgrounds were painted on black paper. The distinctive visual combination of film noir imagery and Art Deco designs with a very dark color scheme was called "Dark Deco" by the producers. First-time producers Timm and Radomski reportedly encountered resistance from studio executives, but the success of Burton's first film allowed the embryonic series to survive long enough to produce a pilot episode, "On Leather Wings", which according to Timm "got a lot of people off our backs."The series was the first of the modern "DC Animated Continuity/Universe" sometimes known as the "Diniverse" named after producer and writer Paul Dini (in some respects, an unfair label, as Dini is not the constant between all of the series of the DCAU; Bruce Timm is the constant, more accurately it is often referred to as the Timmverse). It was entirely separate from the previous continuity of Warner Bros. DC Comics adaptation cartoons, namely The Superfriends.
