Trivia

Praised Kevin Conroy, who has been providing the voice of "Batman/Bruce Wayne" since Batman: The Animated Series (1992), as being a driving factor in the success of the original series.

Said that Superman: The Animated Series (1996) was originally supposed to have a unique opening sequence similar to the one from Batman: The Animated Series (1992), but the animation team ran out of time to finish it before having to put the show on the air, so a montage of Superman performing heroic acts was put together from clips from the series episodes. Part of the abandoned opening sequence can be seen in the montage, when Superman is seen flying over Metropolis at night.

Said that when doing the Superman: The Animated Series (1996) series from 1996, he and the other artists and writers felt compelled to do as many larger than life images and stories as possible, in stark contrast to the Batman: The Animated Series (1992) series from 1992, in which they felt obligated to try to keep the stories fairly realistic and believable.

It was his caricatures of fellow Tiny Toon Adventures (1990) artists Eddie Fitzgerald and Tom Minton that inspired the look of the characters Pinky and the Brain (1995), respectively.

Timm made his voice-acting debut as the Mad Bomber on Beware the Gray Ghost (1992). Timm has also filled in for Mark Hamill voicing Solomon Grundy on Wake the Dead (2004).

The first thing Timm can remember drawing as a child is Batman. He said, "It was most likely copied from the title sequence on Batman (1966) television series staring Adam West. Timm says in the intro of the book, "Batman Animated", "It certainly wouldn't be the last time I drew him.".

Of all the character designs Timm included in his pitch for Batman: The Animated Series (1992), he had the most trouble with Batman's alter ego. He illustrated over 20 versions of Bruce Wayne before he was happy with it.

Long before Mad Love, Timm's first published comic work appeared in the He-Man mini-comics included with the "Masters of the Universe" toy line in the 80's. "Grizzlor-The Legend Comes Alive!" was published in 1984.

Before getting his first full time job at Filmation, Timm worked full-time at K-Mart. The first time Timm took the required art test when applying for the job at Filmation, he failed. A year later he passed and was hired.

Although they didn't directly work together until their time on Tiny Toon Adventures (1990), Timm and Paul Dini first met when they were working on Beany and Cecil (1988) for DiC in 1988. Only eight episodes of the cartoon were made and only five of them were aired.

The first cartoon Timm worked on was a Conan-style character named Blackstar (1981).

When mulling over ideas for Superman: The Animated Series (1996), the cartoon series to follow the successful Batman: The Animated Series (1992), Timm originally pitched a team-up concept where Superman would pair up with a different DC superhero every episode. Jenette Kahn, who was the publisher of DC Comics at the time, said, "That's not a good idea" and Timm later said she was right.
