BONERTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, 2008-09-11
This product LITERALITY gave me a massive erection. It's that great (or horrible depending on who you talk to)!
The seldom seen, but the best volume of the Dark Knight's Adventures, 2008-09-02
This volume shows the true talent of Batman alone, and with Robin, with even some of the banter that takes you back to the 60's live-action series (done so much better!). We get to see what was at the time, some of his "lost,but not forgotten" foes, such as Hugo Strange (that got a more prominent treating on "The Batman"), The Clock King (giving Bruce & Dick a taste of what life is probably like for The Flash!) and the wierd, sad and dangerous Baby Doll (for me, a perfect blend of The Joker(deformity/genetic variant) and Two-Face(multiple personality), even including an "agent" that is more lethal than Harley has ever been , to date!). The highlights of the set is the premiere of Batgirl and the final episode centering on Alfred's past. Add to this, the inclusion of the entirty of the "Gotham Girls" webisodes, and you get the best of the first of the DC Animated Universe series. And the price of this great set is very easy on the wallet, too!
Welcome to Gotham City (Volume 3), 2008-09-02
This DVD box set contains the last nine episodes of Season One, and all the twenty episodes of Season Two.
-Episode 1.57 and 1.58, Shadow of the Bat: The debut of Batgirl. This is rather an uneven two-parter that doesn't contain much excitement. (2.5/5)
-Episode 1.59, Blind as a Bat: Another great Penguin episode. Lots of action and suspense. (4.5/5)
-Episode 1.60 and 1.61, The Demon's Quest: One of the few plots that involve a place outside of Gotham City. There's action aplenty. David Warner is fantastic as Ra's al Ghul. (4/5)
-Episode 1.62, His Silicon Soul: You'd think that HARDAC is gone for good. But a replica of Batman is still on the loose . . . (5/5)
-Episode 1.63, Fire from Olympus: Not an interesting one, I'm sorry to say. (2/5)
-Episode 1.64, Read my Lips: The debut of Scarface and the Ventriloquist. The psychological scariness that is shown with this dual personality is just darn creepy. (5/5)
-Episode 1.65, The Worry Men: Why did they have to turn the Mad Hatter into a 2-dimensional thief? It just makes me miserable. (1.5/5)
-Episode 2.1, Sideshow: A Killer Croc episode that's dull and terribly tedious. (1/5)
-Episode 2.2, A Bullet for Bullock: Focuses primarily on Detective Harvey Bullock and his unsteady relationship with the Dark Knight. Excellent music by Harvey R. Cohen. (5/5)
-Episode 2.3, Trial: Having countless Bat villains all in one episode is a good idea, but the overall plot just doesn't work. (4/5)
-Episode 2.4, Avatar: Reminds me of Indiana Jones, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The Egpytian goddess is just plain terrifying. (4/5)
-Episode 2.5, House and Garden: A sad Poison Ivy episode. And a scary one at that, also. (4/5)
-Epsiode 2.6, The Terrible Trio: Boy, the Terrible Trio is just flat-out ANNOYING. Their appearance really ruin this episode. (2/5)
-Episode 2.7, Harlequinade: A fun episode that deals with Harley Quinn and her odd chemistry with the Joker. The last five minutes are really entertaining. (5/5)
-Episode 2.8, Time Out of Joint: A classic Clock King episode. Freezing time is a great concept for this underrated villain. (5/5)
-Episode 2.9, Catwalk: Scarface and Catwoman working together . . . is the world coming to an end? (4/5)
-Episode 2.10, Bane: Will Bane break Batman's back? Well, just watch it and find out. (4/5)
-Episode 2.11, Baby-Doll: What an annoying character! But it's mainly because of her high-pithced voice. I would've avoided this episode if I could if it weren't for the undeniably powerful ending. (1.5/5)
-Episode 2.12, The Lion and the Unicorn: This is originally the final episode of BTAS. Alfred goes back to England only to be captured by Red Claw. (4.5/5)
-Episode 2.13, Showdown: Batman and Robin take a backseat as Ra's Ah Ghul tells of Duvall and Jonah Hex. (5/5)
-Episode 2.14, Riddler's Reform: I seem to be getting tired of the Riddler when watching this episode. But I guess something's wrong with me. (3/5)
-Episode 2.15, Second Chance: Another Two-Face episode that must be seen by all BTAS fans. (5/5)
-Episode 2.16, Harley's Holiday: Harley Quinn is released from Arkham, and now she wants to start a new life. But then, of course, this leads to some pandemonium. (5/5)
-Episode 2.17, Lock-Up: A One-time villain that makes for a provocative episode. He is the opposite of Batman in many ways possible. (5/5)
-Episode 2.18, Make 'em Laugh: The Clown Prince of Crime is at it again, but this time it seems to be a perfect mix of the campy 60's series and the dark 1989 film. (4/5)
-Episode 2.19, Deep Freeze: Mr. Freeze returns. It's a brilliant episode that's not as brilliant as "Heart of Ice", but it still shines. (5/5)
-Episode 2.20, Batgirl Returns: I didn't like this episode that much. Batgirl irritates me in this episode, and Catwoman doesn't have that spark that's found in "Cat and the Claw".
* * * *
I'll say it again. This is one of the best animated series of all time. They really made "Batman" as dark and compelling as "Batman 1989". And the characters, let's not forget the characters. They're all so distinctive. Kevin Conroy, Bob Hastings, Mark Hamill, Arleen Sorkin, Paul Williams, Diane Pershing, Richard Moll, David Warner, the late Roddy McDowall, and countless others have done the characters justice. The music by Shirley Walker, Carlos Rodriguez, Michael McCuistion, Harvey R. Cohen, and many others is splendidly done. No snythesizers here; it's purely orchestral and jazzy.
And it's too bad that they don't make cartoons like this anymore. We're stuck with "Spongebob," "Yu-Gi-Oh!," and the godawful "The Batman". When are we going to see something more like BTAS? I guess we'll have to wait and see.
