But there's no disputing the fact that Timm reinvigorated the Batman franchise at a time when the "mainstream" Batman comics were wallowing in murky, humorless violence. Timm's Jack Kirby-by-way-of Chuck Jones's style has lost its freshness over the years, as hundreds of episodes and even more comic books from the Johnny DC line have turned his dynamic visual approach into a house style. And how many of those comics feature work by the man-who-saveds-Batman, Bruce Timm? Timm, as I'm sure you know, was an instrumental figure in the creation of "Batman: The Animated Series" and shepherded nearly the entire DC line through a Golden Age of Superhero animation in the s and early s. Even if these were just mediocre Batman stories, that would be a pretty good deal, right? These days, you're paying about 15 cents a page for mediocre comics all the time, and that's just for the non-hardcover floppies.
