Batman is untranslated, though. Most countries have that. Except the Swedes, who (used to) call him "Läderlappen", "the Bat". Lois Lane did become Lousie Laan and Dick Grayson became Dik Grayson.
Early on in Dutch he was sometimes described in the opening blurb as "Batman, the vleermuisman" ("Batman, the bat man") but it was untranslated, same as Robin. The TV show was on at the time so people were probably familiar enough with it. Other names were translated, sometimes more than ones. Joker has been "de Joker" (either untranslated or the playing card, which is pronounced Yoker), "de Nar" (the court jester), or de "Grappenmaker" (the joker, lit. the joke-maker"). Different translators used different names. Other ones were easier to translate, like Katvrouw, Pinguïn, Kleigezicht.
Here's an older list I made

Dutch comics didn't change colors, as they were mostly b&w reproductions. They did miscolor their covers though.
The first publisher called Batman "Bob Wayne".
Plenty of DC comics have been translated across the world. Got plenty Dutch ones myself. I'm glad we're finally rid of RW this year, but I'm not thrilled with the selection of Dark Dragon so far - Kingdom Come is nice but it's all unusual Batman for the rest. All the Murphyverse, Damned, Three Jokers. At least the format is better this time. No more hardcover deluxe editions only.
This is a bit of an odd X or Y choice. If you want us to discuss, please also discuss why you paired these two.
@Charles Magic the first season wasn't bad, but this episode stood out in a negative way.
DCAU Wonder Woman barely used any of her lore or villains. The Hades made no sense. The character was still okay, so I called it poorly rather than dirty, but it's clear Timm et al did not read much Wonder Woman.
They should have burned that Supergirl script.
Meh. It did Wonder Woman poorly.
We assume so.
Timey wimey stuff.
At first, he remembered things, then he didn't. Now apparently he does again. Or something.
Missed this earlier. 2009, Bloodlines, 2017, 1984.
Ciara Renee is an incredibly gorgeous woman, and a talented singer too. Her God Help the Outcasts is even better than the movie version.
When did he do that? You assume people actually watched TTG.
I tried getting into it but the early seasons did not age well.
Correct. But that is the most common answer to the question "how can anyone hate it?".
It was just all round disappointment.
Meh. It did Wonder Woman dirty.
Even animated ones are hit or miss. Justice League Action was meh.
Not that unpopular.
