I'm gonna be honest with you, I watched 20 years of Batman reruns and never noticed this once.
CRTs were a whole thing.
It was a genuine Mandela effect moment when I saw clips from a DVD re-release or whatever it was in HD for the first time and went "what is THAT on his face"?
Simpsons addressed this phenomenon.
The amount of Simpsons I haven't seen now dwarfs the pieces I have seen, and I've seen A LOT of The Simpsons.
But yeah, basically. It's why old TV shows often depict injuries by just smearing red paint on someone's face. They knew how to make better makeup, they just didn't have to.
Oh, and why anything written down is in marker and with hilariously huge preschool letters. And why you get all those awkward extreme close up inserts on any object that is plot relevant. The medium is context for the message.
