Why 'The Crapman' Sucks Redux: Defenses for Sucking

It's no surprise that some people like crap. It's also no surprise people like to defend crap. Oh, you'll hear it all the time: "That's subjective!"(In terms of storyline flow, characterization, and story quality, it isn't), "It's supposed to be different!" (Different doesn't equal good), etc.

Now here I will detail the defenses given to the crappiness that is The Crapman. One might ask why those that watch and defend this show would do so. I have theories.

Now the defenses:

1 ) "It's not fair to compare it to the old series!"

Response:
Don't make a show about Batman then when the last show is still recent.
If there's one thing B:TAS has an abundance of, it's heart. This show... no heart. B:TAS introduced to the youth of America to different things: mature stories and themes, complex stories, the sympathetic villian. In it's wy, B:TAS was revolutionary, winning praise and awards, creating several breakthrough characters(of original Bruce Timm and Paul Dini creations) into the comic book world. B:TAS created the market for serious superhero cartoons.

2 ) "The audience is younger, so it doesn't need to be written like older series!"

Response:
When I went through grade school, if I wrote anything like a script of 'The Crapman', I would get an F. Seriously, that's pretty much the answer. Why should there be an age limit that seperates bad writing and passable writing? WHERE is the line between writing that you'd be proud of and writing you'd just turn in and best wish you can forget?

And who are we to come up with these qualifiers? Seriously. Despite the 'younger' arguement, it also is the "Poochie" arguement, in which anything hip has to have pop culture references up the wazoo and be 'extreme'.

3 ) "It's Anime Inspired!"

Response:
Oh boy, the "Teen Titans" arguement. Using some vague visuals based off an artist loosely leafing through a few manga at a Barnes and Noble doesn't make it 'anime inspired'. It's what a bunch of people in a committee decide what anime is and how to quickly emulate it.

Note that most people here don't try to say the writing is superb or excellent, or even near approaching the previous series.... They know that battle was lost long ago. They are now trying to defend this show for one reason: To validate their reason for liking it.

That's right folks, they want something to be wrong with US for being 'critical' about a show. They create strawman arguements: "You say it sucks because it's new!"

They howl, they screech, they claw, they say lies and all of the above.
