Our hosts return to the podcave and look under the hood of the episode, THE MECHANIC.
Alex and Will talk about the introduction of Batman's personal mechanic, Earl Cooper and if they like this new addition to the "Bat Family" or not.
They also wonder if Earl is a typical mechanic and taking Batman for all he's worth. As well as noticing that Batman can't take an obvious warning of danger and what special private feature Penguin's umbrella might come with.
Our hosts also cast Earl Cooper in their live action fan-casted universe, but need your help to decide who it should be (see poll on Instagram or Spotify)! And Will talks about pages for Mobster Mash and his upcoming MARVEL book, Dr. Doom & Rocket Raccoon.
Who should play Earl Cooper?

Our hosts return to the podcave and sit down to review the episode, PAGING THE CRIME DOCTOR.
Alex and Will discuss why they love a good Gotham mobster story and why they loved all the tie-ins to Thomas Wayne's past in this episode.
They also theorise on why Rupert Thorne likes to give his men nicknames, how Thomas Wayne spelt Leslie Thompkins name wrong, and that the Wayne's aren't gone, they're just on a big holiday.

Our hosts return to the podcave and get stuck in with their review of, MUDSLIDE.
Alex and Will discuss the blend of classic monster movie and Alfred Hitchcock vibes in this episode. Highlighting the subway train and the laboratory sequences as the stand outs, as well as Ron Perlman's performance as Clayface.
Our hosts also notice that if Batman didn't get involved in this plot, Clayface would've been able to cure himself and that be one less problem for him to deal with in Gotham City.
They also discuss if Clayface has a smell and what it would be similar to, and how Alfred is dropping quality jokes that just go over Batman's head.

Our hosts return to the podcave and are joined by the one and only Paul Dini to review the episode, THE MAN WHO KILLED BATMAN.
Paul reflects on the making of the episode and shares many behind the scenes stories, including how the Simpson’s inspired the writing of this episode, where the name Sid the Squid comes from, and why his car ride home on the day of the recording was memorable.
He also dives deep into Harley Quinn’s character development in this episode, gives an answer on if the Joker truly loves her, and shares the one scene that he will never write again for the character.
Plus, Paul gives his thoughts on the many versions of Harley Quinn that have come afterwards, including the recent Caped Crusader version and Lady Gaga's.
He also shares the future of the comic book series, Batman the Adventure Continues. Plus, our hosts create a new idea for a Batman spin-off story with Paul that involves a Barista, creating a new alias for Bruce Wayne in the process.
In addition to this mega episode, our hosts cast Sid Squid in their fan-cast universe, Alex talks about the TV series, The Penguin, and Will announces his new KICKSTARTER project, which everyone can check out here:

Alex and Will give their thoughts on the villain Count Vertigo, from his cheap gimmicks to his 1930's German soldier look (if you know what I mean).
They also discuss Batman's attempts at flirting, the giant vibrator made by Wayne Tech, and why the Society of Shadows is nothing more than a bunch of frat boys.
Our hosts also cast Count Vertigo, Ra's & Talia Al Ghul in their live action fan-casted universe, plus Will shares updates on Outbreaks Issue 3 Kickstarter fulfilment!

Alex and Will take a look at this very somber and dark episode and discuss what they liked and what they didn't like about it.
They give their thoughts on The Jazz Man and what they thought of his character. As well as talk about Alfred's nightly rose laying duties, how a kid named Wizard shook Batman out of his mid-life crisis, and if there's a toilet in the batcave.

Our hosts return to the VIRTUAL podcave and sit down to review the episode, WHAT IS REALITY?
Alex and Will notice that the plot to this episode is almost identical to the Riddler's previous episode. Except, nowhere near as good and leaning into Batman 66 territory.
Our hosts also notice that Robin is a little too excited to be alone with a VR headset. As well as a random Harry Potter reference, Alfred being slow on the riddles, and Batman's distaste for LARPing.
In addition, you have been WARNED as this episode might cause you to get Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer stuck in your head. The hosts of this show are not responsible for this.

Our hosts return to the podcave to review the episode, BIRDS OF A FEATHER.
Alex and Will are surprised at how good this episode is and if it wasn't for the somewhat disappointing ending, it would be in their top tier episodes list.
Our hosts talk about Penguin's dating game, why calling someone a FATSO is a brutal insult, and how Batman doesn't know what sexting is.
Alex also learns how to say the word 'lair' properly and Will has lighting issues during the recording.

Our hosts also talk about Alfred's love for Hawk Tuah memes, the Batwing's little claw hand, and how Batman left Francine and Kirk to freeze on top of the bridge.

Our hosts travel overseas to an ancient hidden podcave this week, and sit down to review, DAY OF THE SAMURAI.
Alex and Will are somewhat divided on their feelings for this episode. With a difference of opinion for the overall plot and animation quality, our two hosts are in opposite corners of this pod volcano.
Plus, they notice Alfred's many holiday outfits, what the secret death touch makes you do involuntarily, and the return of Kyodai the "cinjaphile", or Kyodai "the film guy".

Did our hosts LYCAN this episode? Or did it not scratch their itch?
Alex and Will talk about the werewolf's backstory and what they think of this classic Universal monster running around the streets of Gotham.
Plus, they discover that Alfred is very knowledgeable in the kink community, that the Gotham Zoo is still very unsafe, and what invisible knockout gas does to your libido.

Our hosts return to the podcave and sit down to watch The Island of Dr. Moreau -- I mean, Tyger Tyger.
Alex and Will give credit to the animation and character design, but that's about as far as their positive thoughts go for this episode. The Island of Dr. Moreau and Batman just don't mix and this weird mash-up is proof of that.
Our hosts discuss Dr. Dorian's weird obsession with cats and theorise on how that came to be. As well as Tygress' obsession with trying to get some pussycat, Gotham Zoo's poor security, and Batman's sudden love for poetry.

Our hosts also talk about the patchy animation in this episode, what Bruce and Alfred had planned for a casino weekend, and what Batman's tear gas is really made up of.

Plus, the hardships behind working on Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker, and his life long friendship he has with Director Glen Murakami.

Our hosts compare the film to the acclaimed graphic novel, focusing on the transition of comic art to animation, and wondering if the translation holds up.
They also discuss the voice actors performances, their favourite scenes, the final showdown between Batman and Joker, and how Batman vs The Mutant Leader was like watching a WWE Pay Per View.

Our hosts return to the podcave and sit down to review the episode THE CAPE AND COWL CONSPIRACY.
Alex and Will are somewhat divided on their opinions of this episode. One host enjoys it for the simple fact that Batman is trolling a villain the whole time and having fun, whilst the other host wishes it was just a Riddler episode.
Our hosts also theorise that Josiah Wormwood is the reason that Gotham seems to have so many closed theme park attractions, as well as wondering if Gordon creating the bat signal was just to get Batman out of his office?
Plus, our hosts cast Wormwood in their fancasted universe, as well as sing the recognisable theme music from SAW and accidentally advertise for Coca-Cola.

An episode that was produced at the end of season one, but featured much earlier on in the pantheon of episodes as a replacement for an episode that never got made!
Alex shares some cool behind the scenes facts, that were sent to him by the Director of this episode and friend of the pod, Dan Riba.
Then our hosts make their opinions visible and discuss various scenes, such as: a jewellery store security guard with IBS, a wet cement fight that's worthy of a WWE pay per view, and a Batman that stalks a woman who's a victim of an abusive relationship and has no concept of how creepy he can be! Seriously, read the room, Batman!

Kevin directed so many pivotal episodes of BTAS, such as: On Leather Wings, Cat & Claw part 1, The Last Laugh, Two-Face parts 1&2, Night of the Ninja, The Demon’s Quest parts 1&2, Avatar, Harlequinade, Harley’s Holiday, and Showdown.
Kevin shares in detail how much he loved Ra's Al Ghul as a kid, and how his dream was to bring those Denny O'Neil/Neal Adams comic books to life on screen one day. Not only did he grant his own wish and became known as the "Ra's guy" around the studio, he also went and got Denny O'Neil to write the first two Ra's episodes!
He recalls working with Bruce Timm, Paul Dini, Alan Burnett, Shirley Walker, and all of the amazing voice cast, including some lovely memories of Kevin Conroy.
Kevin also discusses directing the Two-Face episodes, including how the famous animated rain was captured in Part 2. The day that Paul Dini brought the idea of Harley Quinn into his office and why it took him so long to direct a Harley episode. His experiences creating the look and feel of the first episode, On Leather Wings, including the influences behind the batcave. How he introduced Jonah Hex into the DCAU, and so much more!

Is this second part as enjoyable as the first? Does Red Claw's plan make any sense? Does Bruce Wayne care about the rules of the road? The answer to all of these questions is a big, fat NO.
Alex and Will also point out that this episode could have easily been a single episode, instead of a two parter, and breaking it into two was unnecessary. They also talk about Bruce's poor dating techniques, the return of Sammie No Socks, giant flame walls, GI Bat-Joe, and lots more!
Our hosts also announce that the Caped Capers scenarios will now become a monthly thing, instead of being in every episode. Plus, they cast Red Claw in their live action universe and Will announces that he's completed Outbreaks Issue 1 and will be sending it out to all Kickstarter supporters very soon!

Alex and Will look at the design of Mr. Freeze, and share which famous comic book creator designed the look of this version of the character. As well as discussions over how Batman's utility belt can make anything disappear, why working for Mr. Freeze would be the worst (unless you're Will), and how a lonely Gotham security guard moonlights as an editor.

It's time to review, I'VE GOT BATMAN IN MY BASEMENT. Is this the worst episode of Batman TAS? Did our hosts dislike it as much as they expected?
Alex and Will are surprised at how much fun this episode actually is! If you can enjoy it for what it is and don't take it too seriously, you'll have a good time. But, what do they know? They liked THE UNDERDWELLERS!
Our hosts discuss the fun introduction of the Penguin to this show, how Batman is doing his own "Weekend at Bernies" in Sherman's basement, and create a sequel to this episode that they already consider canon. Think Norman Bates meets Misery, but Sherman's obsession is keeping Batman in his basement forever!
Also included in this episode is our hosts live action fan cast for the Penguin, a discussion on shows like: Succession and Barry. Plus, another fun-filled Caped Capers skit. Enjoy!

Our hosts also discuss how everyone in Gotham looks better on TV, Batman's gangster carrying parkour skills, and his mad skills at puppeteering unconscious goons.

Plus, Randy gives an amazing explanation on what Batman's greatest fear is, as well as explaining what the story was for the sequel to the Sub-Zero movie.

Our hosts also discuss how Two-Face's coin flip for decision making comes out of nowhere, why Alfred is a better detective than Batman, how Batman's greatest enemy is a janitor cart, and that Two-Face using a napkin to hide his ugly side is hilarious.

*This is the hardest Alex has ever laughed on a podcast and if there's any episode to listen to, it's THIS ONE!
Alex and Will instantly notice that this episode not only jumps in animation quality, but storytelling and character development. Giving our hosts the first true taste of the animated series that they remember.
They discuss how Batman is partially responsible for creating Two-Face, how Big Bad Harv is just a school yard bully, why Alfred always carries a shotgun, and how Grace and Bruce start an orgy at Wayne Manor.
Our hosts also talk about Clayface rumours for The Batman 2, cast Harvey Dent/Two-Face in their live action BTAS universe, and another hilarious Caped Capers scenario.

Alex sits down with Robert to discuss his work on Batman, which involves writing the episodes: His Silicon Soul, What is Reality?, and Lock-Up.
Robert shares the inspirations behind the Paul Dini created character of Lock-Up, including how Robert mirrored him off of a famous Martin Scorsese character. Robert also explains why the final scene of that episode takes place on a prison boat, how Lock-Up is the closest villain to being like Batman, and what he wanted to name the character originally.
Then Robert shares the greatest way you can defeat the Riddler and how it ended up in the final draft of What is Reality? Plus, sharing how His Silicon Soul became an episode and how Business Standards & Practices restrictive policies actually ended up giving him a better ending. You can hear that and so much more in this amazing behind the scenes interview, which is packed full of never before heard discussions!
In this episode, Alex and Will also share their thoughts on The Mandalorian, and The Last of Us, plus Will updates everyone on his current work with DC and Marvel, as well as his Kickstarter progress! Enjoy!

Our hosts return and attend a birthday party that starts out strong, but the third act of BE A CLOWN, really does kill the party vibe.
Alex and Will discuss how the idea of the Joker disguising himself as a clown and attending a birthday party with the intention of blowing it up, is a really strong idea, but once the party ends, so does the quality of the episode. Even with the odes to The Killing Joke and The Dark Knight Returns, this episode just doesn't light their candle.
Our hosts discuss ways to improve the story, such as how young Jordan should have wanted to become a clown instead of a magician, and rebel against his neglecting father. Or, even more sinister, become a sidekick to the Joker and a real threat to Batman, as he can’t punch a kid in the mouth for being a menace!
Alex and Will laugh at the fact that Batman knows when garbage collection day is for each district of Gotham, and also take joy in realising that this episode is the origin of the popular Batman thumbs up meme.
Also discussed in this episode is the recent announcement of Amazon purchasing the Bruce Timm lead animated series, The Caped Crusader. Plus, a live action casting choice for Mayor Hill and another hilarious Caped Capers scenario.
AND AS A BIG REVEAL, Will shares what title projects he’s currently working on for both MARVEL & DC! Along with updating us all on the progress of his creator owned Zombie anthology series, OUTBREAKS!

Our hosts return and sit down to review, THE FORGOTTEN, an episode that is near and dear to their hearts and a true guilty pleasure.
Both Alex and Will are surprised at how well this episode holds up and most importantly, how much fun it was to watch.
They take a deep dive, discussing how this episode is the equivalent of a story where a superhero loses their powers and learns what it takes to be a hero. Alex and Will also believe that Boss Biggis is a cannibal and eating his enslaved workforce, as well noticing how the bat-computer is a sassy B, and that Alfred saves the day.
Also discussed in this episode is the recent casting announcement for the new TMNT movie, plus a fan-cast choice for Boss Biggis in a Batman TAS live-action universe.

Alex and Will discuss how this episode is a love letter to film noir and that it finally reveals the vibe of BTAS that has mostly been missing in the episodes that have come before it.
They also notice that the interrogation room is a big empty void, that Batman isn't afraid of a big burning roof falling on him, and how this episode becomes The Fast & The Forklift at one point.
Also discussed in this episode is how we are getting more Lord of the Rings movies whether we like it or not, a younger version of Hellboy (Hellboyboy) is coming to the big screen, the Batman 2 filming begins in November, and our hosts live action casting choices for Gordon, Bullock, and Montoya.

Alex and Will are surprised at how much they actually liked this episode, expecting it to be one of the worst of the series from memory. But, upon a rewatch, they had lots to discuss, such as: Batman murdering an alligator, Alfred suspiciously seeming like he had one too many drinks from the Manor's wine cellar, the Sewer King's speech impediment, Batman's problematic hypnosis tool in the batmobile, and Will's new ending to this episode that would have brought it to new heights.
Our hosts also discuss Michael Keaton's return as Batman, JJ Abrams' cancelled projects at HBO Max, Lady Gaga going Joker Face, and Will's hilarious bathroom disaster that's shared in the post credits of this episode.

Alex and Will notice how this episode is very film noir with a particular focus on Ivy being the femme fatale. They also discuss how this episode was nearly great, but the third act lets it down. Along with how Batman is happy to give plants a slow and painful death, and why Poison Ivy is more like a crazy cat lady than an actual threat.
Our hosts also cast a live action Poison Ivy in their fan-casted Batman TAS universe, Will reacts to James Gunn's DCU Phase 1 announcement, and a hilarious new Caped Capers skit is all included in this episode. So, don't delay and hit play!

Our hosts return all holly & jolly this festive season and sit down to review, CHRISTMAS WITH THE JOKER!
Alex and Will both notice how this episode has its moments of absolute quality and other moments where it falls flat.
Will talks about how this episode feels more like a kids cartoon than any of the rest, and Alex brings a stocking full of fun facts, such as the Director of this episode leaving halfway through production to go work for Universal! The nerve!
Our hosts also discuss how they grew up in a "naked family", what Batman project Will has just completed for DC Comics, plus loads more!
Happy Holidays everyone and see you next year!

Our hosts also watch a few of Conroy's most memorable moments voicing Bruce Wayne and Batman and say goodbye to an icon.
