I really do appreciate that Batman: Caped Crusader is going back to the airbrush + black canvas look of The Animated Series but I just popped on an episode from 1992 to compare and it's impossible to overstate just how instantly intensely better the traditional animation looks even than something with a lot of care put into looking similar. I don't think this is nostalgia talking, either—I've never watched much animated Batman at all before.

in reply to @nex3's post:
Brief glance between the two and it seems like not enough attention was paid to consistent line weights + natural looking in-betweens in the newer show. The stuff that can make an animation "look like Flash."
I got the same thing with X-Men 97. It looks very similar, but there's bits and pieces that aren't as good.
