As great as Batman: The Animated Series is, I feel like all these comparisons is a disservice to Spawn.

It would of been nice to see it happened in the animated series.
Fun Fact: Cagliostro was played by Richard Dysart, who was in THE THING with Keith David who played Spawn/Al. So this was a reunion of sorts.
I loved the HBO Spawn series. The stories and characters were well written. That cyborg "Overtkill" was brutally terrifying.
I really hated that they *never finished it* it was brilliant !
WELL Since JOkEr is Successful can they just do that SPAWN movie already then revive the Cartoon on Hbo or Netflix?

Bat man has a cross over with everyone. I found a small list of good ones we got Predator, we got alien, we got the power rangers, we got Elmer Fudd, we got Harry Houdini, we got scooby doo, we got teenage mutant ninja turtles, we got Tarzan, we got captain America, we got spider man and we got spawn. I’m sure we got many many more than that too, but damn he gets to cross over with everyone. If I was bat man I’d ask to get a play boy cross over. Ya feel me
Keith David has the best voice
I wrote 3 episodes (including send in the KKKlowns) for the second season. Great opportunity for me, but much of your assessment is correct. Wanted to do more with the direction but it ended before there was a chance.
yup stan called him overkill which they later changed to overtkill to avoid lawsuits.

Please stand by for this announcement WWAAAANNNDDAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
Great memories, especially season 1. Now when is the new film coming out, and season 4?
Even now I use Keith David voice in my head when I'm ready.
I remember when Syfy and the movie channels had anime on them for example Hellsing ultimate was on one of the movie & Gundam 00 was on Syfy.
You can watch all of it seasons in KZread
Honestly, in over 20 years the comics didn't get even close to the quality of the TV show.

It's been so long since we have an r-rated animated cable tv series like this. I think it will be more prominent in streaming services.

I AGREE about this video but I'm such a HUGE fan of SPAWN T.A.S. I don't mind! I've been trying to collect the stories on which the animated series is based, which are roughly the first 100 issues, a must have if you're a Spawn fan!
Darkest Heroes in the 90s: Batman Goliath Spawn
Amazing 🤩 !!
Still have the DVD set. Teenage me loved this series so much.
Thought there’s was a reboot was about to say but loved this show remember watching it on hbo at night while my girl was asleep
I hate how he’s straight up disrespecting spawn by comparing him to Batman and there really is no correlation between them other then just being an animated show
this whole video was just Spawn is Batman. Spawn is way cooler
You should do WildC.A.T.S next keeping the comic book cartoon series theme going since you did spawn, then back that with Savage Dragon 🐆🐉👈😳👍👍👍

I still have my first issue of Spawn and posted a video about it on my channel. I used to watch this series every Sunday night on HBO. Keith David did an awesome job in this.
I watched it every weekend when it came on. Plus bought the DVDs. Way better than the live action movie rendition of the character.
1:30... that was literally the age when I first watched Spawn in its entirety. I was 13 and my dad just handed all the episodes to me on all 3 dvds. To be fair, that was the same year I was taught how to use a cross bow and was better behaved than I am now.

This is less "everything you didn't know" and more "see how many times we can compare Spawn to Batman".
Definitely enjoyed the video guys, have been a fan of both Batman & Spawn for a very long time. Speaking of the idea of a The Crow/Spawn crossover is an idea I've had for a almost as long as I've been a Spawn fan. P.S This vid should have been called "How the Spawn universe & Batman universe are similar"
Spawn is nothing like Batman other then they fight at night. Please stop comparing them.
I had a 900+ DVD collection. When I cut it down to just over 100 spawns HBO collection was one of the things I kept, found it at a pawn shop when I was 17 and couldn't help myself.
Wait! Where's the third season? I thought it was just two?
Ok I would kill for a Spawn/ Crow crossover
I remember that watching interviews with MacFarlane around the time I was watching this series was an awakening to how creators can have giant blind spots when it comes to story telling. The cartoon had an e tire set if writers refining band streamlining every idea he had from the comics and the story of the series flows much better because of it.
I thought it was Japanese animated because they had a heads up in adult animations I don't know what studio but I think it was animated in Japan.
It's a shame we didn't get more of this show.
Absolutely no one: Spawn: *WANDA!*
that intro cracked me the fuck UP. i was like, wait what kind of a maniac draws with a ballpoint pen lol
The beeps where way too loud
I just finished the last episode of season 3. Man what a great show this was! They stayed (for the most part) true to the comics. Although the animation isn't anything groundbreaking, it is more than adequate. Personally for me the heart & soul of the show is in the dialogue, voice acting & the unique view perspectives (camera angles, foreshortening of of objects) as it gave the show a terrific atmosphere.
Anyone remember The Head?
