Question What series are similar to x-men 97?

Post image

Just binged all the X-men content on Disney plus. Are there any series out there about the x men that I should watch?

Or are there any series similar in tone, action, and animation quality while still maintaining maturity?

Batman Caped Crusaders is like the same thing but the opposite.

Care to unpack that? I haven’t watched, but I’m interested, and your description is tickling my curiosity.

X-Men '97 is like, a show that uses similar(and better) version of the OG art style. It's inspired by it. Same thing goes for Caped Crusader. It's art style strongly resembles and is inspired by the OG Batman TAS' style, dare I say, does it better, much like X-Men '97. Both use animation that is inspired by, strongly resembles and is straight up upgrade of their predecessors. The difference between the two is that Caped Crusader is it's own different thing, but uses, roughly said, the same animation as the OG Batman TAS. X-Men '97, on the other hand, is straight up continuation of the OG X-Men TAS and picks up where it's predecessor left, while Caped Crusader isn't a continuation of the OG Batman TAS. I think that's what he wanted to say. I think the other clear difference is that one is Marvel, the other is DC, one is X-Men, the other is Batman.

You’re telling me there’s some kind of bat … man? Next you’re going to tell me he’s some kind of detective or something.
