The animated Batman series is indeed fantastic fare. If you want something strange and pure 90s, I'd also recommend Ĉon Flux.

I mean, it's drawn and created by a Korean-American whose main inspiration is Egon Schiele, and is helped out by a drunk and insane American who's a huge Nabokov fan and a group of The Prisoner fans. The series is experimental and exciting, and covers a lot of interesting ideological ground. The central idea is: Ĉon's a self-reliant anarchist, Trevor Goodchild, her rival, is an authoritarian ruler of the country, Bregna, she constantly seems to attempt infiltrating. The thing is, they're also lovers, complicating things. This allows for surrealism confrontations and awesome character interaction. You might be happy with it: Emotions run high and rampant, and it won't treat you like an idiot. It's an obviously adult cartoon, but all the same, it's great stuff.

At the moment, I really do enjoy The Venture Brothers.

And I really want a video game equivalent to Liquid Television.

I'd love to play something like the Ĉon Flux shorts, with all the cause-and-effect reactions and twists, the dying at the end of each episode, and legitimising immoral acts as result of your impending doom. Also, surreal Weird sci-fi.

Later in the series proper, when there were episodes that actually had a pretext of continuity between two or more episodes she would occasionally go left, but never in the self contained episodes.

There is no continuity in the third season episodes, save for the last one, End Sinister, which is intended as a finale. If you want to be anal about it, the official beginning is at The Demiurge. You could jump into the third season with no problem, as cryptic as it gets.

I like the idea you bring up, otherwise.
