Reception
The Batman also received its share of criticism with critics and fans, particularly when compared with Batman: The Animated Series. CraveOnline's Iann Robinson placed the show at #5 in a list for the "Top 5 Worst Superhero Cartoons", and compared it negatively to previous animated adaptations of the character: "I’m not sure how we fell from Batman: The Animated Series to the wholly unwatchable The Batman... dark and inventive animation of is replaced with this weird American hybrid of Anime and computer graphics," along with new character origins and makeovers. IGN commented in the article "A History Of Batman" that The Batman's "characters have a much more kiddie and cartoonish feel than those seen in the Animated Series and its kin," and that the "various Batsuits and gadgets and mucho action scenes" were intended to "inspire toys for kids to buy."

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“I gave a speech in Omaha. After the speech I went to a reception elsewhere in town. A sweet old lady came up to me, put her gloved hand in mine, and said, “I hear you spoke here tonight.” “Oh, it was nothing,” I replied modestly. “Yes,” the little old lady nodded, “that’s what I heard.””
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
“But in the reception of metaphysical formula, all depends, as regards their actual and ulterior result, on the pre-existent qualities of that soil of human nature into which they fall—the company they find already present there, on their admission into the house of thought.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“He’s leaving Germany by special request of the Nazi government. First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks. They warn him right then. What does he do next? Goes to a reception at von Ribbentropf’s and keeps yelling for gefilte fish!”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
