how the fuck did they sneak that one past the censors?
Angel Ross
house and garden was creepy
Samuel Richardson
It was made in the era when the censors were much more lenient on what was allowed.
Also, F for Annie.
Gavin Reed
I've got Batman in my basement
Anthony Bell
>Bamham
Anyway, it's The Man Who Killed Batman, if we're talking original art style. Over The Edge, if we're including all of it.
Anthony Rivera
The one where Batman finally rapes the Joker
Chase Torres
The one where Scarecrow kills Batgirl
Fuck you it's not a dream it's real and awesome and they should have rolled with it and it makes me sad and angry they didn't
Leo Rogers
Yeah, but even taking that into consideration, there was a lot of really heavy stuff.
Carson Green
Trial is my personal fav
The whole idea is so insane
I even as a kid drew a ripoff comic about Spiderman Man and Green Goblin as a judge
Justin Moore
Perchance to Dream, I studied lucid dreaming after watching that episode.
Juan Jones
The trial followed by the two face origin episodes.
Connor Jenkins
Seconding Perchance to Dream. It's also Kevin Conroy's favorite episode.
Gabriel Cruz
>Bruce prepares to jump off a clock tower in a last-ditch effort to escape Mad Hatter's dreamworld.
"You can't do that! You're crazy! You may not wake up if you do!"
"Then I'll see you in your nightmares!"
Gavin Walker
“A bullet for Bullock” was pretty damn good from what I remember.
James Wright
I would’ve liked if she at least came out to her dad instead of implying he knew. It made the episode worthless.
Leo Murphy
the one where the joker gets some beta loser to owe him a favor.
then years later he calls in that favor.
also first appearance of harley.
Juan Ross
Also, I think it was the first Joker episode written specifically for Mark Hamill's portrayal instead of him simply filling in for Tim Curry.
Dylan Sanders
Christmas with the Joker
Henry Allen
Beware of The Grey Ghost OR Trial. It's hard to pick which one I like over the other but if I did have a gun to my head I guess I would say the Grey Ghost episode.
Josiah Myers
My favorite, as well.
Caleb Allen
The one where the Joker sneaks in to a kid's birthday party and it ends with Batman giving a thumbs up.
Nolan Flores
Gordon please!
Owen Carter
Probably similar to how shows like Transformers, Samurai Jack and Tron use the loophole that since the violence is being done to nonhumans that it is a-ok. Annie is a blob of mud, so it doesn't matter what they did to her.
Brayden Hernandez
Perhaps.
Kayden Hall
Feat of Clay. No! Joker's favor! Wait, no, Mad Love. Actually, the Trial, wait, can I switch it to Almost Got Him? Just kidding, it's the one where Penguin reforms but I don't remember the name. Also the Two Face episodes with Big Bad Harv
Easton Morgan
The Clayface episode
Ayden Martinez
>the one where Penguin reforms but I don't remember the name
birds of feather
Also Riddler's Reform is a great one
Angel Price
>Bamham
Kevin Moore
This really makes me want to rewatch this show. Where is a good place to get episodes?
Evan Stewart
This, Feat of Clay and Mudslide are all great. BTAS usually gets praise for what it did for Mr. Freeze but its take on Clayface was also excellent and unlike Freeze he wasn't overused.
Aiden Reed
Perchance to Dream is what I'd call the best episode.
Almost Got Im is my favorite.
Brody Ross
Mad As A Hatter.
As far as I'm concerned the Mad Hatter doesn't exist outside of TAS.
Henry Jenkins
It's Never Too Late
Jonathan Brooks
Freeze had the exact same amount of appearances as Clayface (+ movie)
Also Clayface's primary motivation (getting revenge on poor man's Norman Osborn) pretty much disappeared after his first appearance
Michael Smith
Put the gun away. All you had to do was ask.
Almost Got Him. Without a second thought.
Carson Perez
Heart of Ice was kino.
Carson Cox
That's my favorite too.
Bentley Jackson
Perchance to Dream is an obvious one for me, but since that one's pretty popular and has been named already, Dreams in Darkness is a close second
James Nguyen
"Almost got him"
Ayden Cruz
Feats of Clay - the reveal of the whole mystery is done really well, it's one of the best tragic stories of the series, and the animation on Clayface is some of the most fluid, detailed animation I've seen in a western show.
Camden Lopez
The clock king. Something about a regular middle aged dude who's always punctual getting rekt by one harmless comment to take it easy was entertaining. He also gave batman a good fight being surprisingly athletic on those gears.
Hunter Brown
I accept death, can't pick one. I love almost every one.
Caleb Ramirez
Beware the Grey Ghost. Actually, any of the episodes directed by Kirkland
Dylan Nguyen
Fuck, I forgot all about BtGG, can I change my answer?
Matthew Ward
Honestly for some reason The Laughing Fish still scares me to this day.
There's just something really creepy and off about it that I don't know how to explain.
Nathan Diaz
It's almost entirely because of the score.
>Bruce Timm: "When we were spotting the show, I told [composer Shirley Walker] I didn't want the Joker theme in it. I wanted it to sound like a horror movie. Not like an over-the-top, melodramatic Universal horror movie, because most of our scores are already over-the-top, but I wanted it to sound like Alien. ... It's the weirdest score of any of the shows, with this strange, dissonant music behind the Joker that builds a weird tension you're not consciously aware of."
People don't heap enough praise on how absolutely phenomenal were the voice acting (not just from Hamill and Conroy) and music of Batman TAS.
Gabriel Parker
Kirkland's direction is one of the more underrated aspects of the show.
He single-handedly made otherwise mediocre episodes like Appointment In Crime Alley or Pretty Poison much more watchable and his direction truly infused TAS with the noir feel many other movies, shows and films often try for and fail
Kevin Adams
>A good chunk of villains in TAS just wanted to get laid but Batman cockblocked them
Jose Mitchell
Kevin Jones
probably the original HARDAC episodes. Though that follow up is also 10/10.
have also REALLY loved how they simplified the concept of time dilation for a batman cartoon, blew my mind as a kid.
Hunter Scott
Fuck if I can remember the name, but when Bruce loses his memories and ends up being enslaved like many other missing Gothamites for some crazy prospector gang.
Joseph Green
>instead of implying he knew
It didn't do that.
Christopher Nelson
"You know what I'd have given for a death scene like this? ... Too bad I won't get to read the notices."
I love that line. He just told Batman what he was doing, to his face.
Samuel Wright
...
Charles King
Yes user, I saw that since I only just opened the thread.
Gabriel Peterson
This show was my introduction to Pulp and Film Noir. I loved it!
Carter Gomez
Watched this over and over because the VHS I had only had the first five or so episodes of the show.
Andrew Edwards
Brandon Ortiz
Meant to attatch.
Jaxson Reed
What is it about this show that allowed it to hit so many different genres from thrillers, to noir, to pulp while still maintaining a cohesive atmosphere?
Hudson Brown

You guys have seen the Mondo prints on sale today and tomorrow? Gorgeous, wish I had the cash to grab a few.

I used to hate it as a kid but as an adult, I really appreciate the episode where Batman goes undercover to find out why homeless people are going missing. Then he loses his memory and gets sent to work on the homeless slave camp. I find the scene where he recovers his memory and remembers he's Batman very motivating and inspiring now a days.
Isaac Gomez
Connor Ward
Beware the Gray Ghost
>I use to admire what the Gray Ghost stood for.
>I'm not the Gray Ghost.
>I can see that now.
Xavier Morgan
Straight up Kafkaesque.
Samuel Wilson
I still have no idea why the comics never used baby doll. there is so much that can be done with the character for probably a fantastic arc
Jacob Moore
If we showed this episode to Affleck, would it inspire him, or would he be discouraged?
Jose Miller
Honestly I thought the Trial was really dissappointing. The idea in itself is great but it packed too many villains in too short of screentime to do anything with them and most characters ended up getting nothing. The set-up doesn't really work either since out of all the characters, Joker and maybe Two-Face are the only ones with any sort of claim that Batman "created them", the rest has never been shown giving the slighest shit. All of them just got homogenized and used to fill up space. Riddler and Scarecrow didn't even get any lines.
It would have been much better if they took inspiration from the storyline where the villains get together to try and figure out which one of them killed Batman and you get all of these characters giving their accounts on their relationship with Batman (in a way that doesn't feel like a rehash of Almost Got Im). You could have Two-Face actually be a prosecutor or maybe even have Bruce pick Harvey as his defender.
I still like the episode for funny individual moments but I really wouldn't say it's one of the better ones.
Ethan Hill
Scarecrow's VA couldn't make it due to health problems, I think.
Aiden Perez
>Killer Moth
Well I'm glad to know he was still taken seriously enough then to be included in the same room as Lex Luthor and Ra's al Ghul and not be treated as a joke
Jordan Rogers
This.
Adrian Barnes
Elijah Morris
Feat of Clay: Part 2
Zachary King
Came to post Almost Got 'Im too. That one is just pure entertainment.
Nolan Myers
I enjoy the Laughing Fish as just the definitive Joker story, the perfect explanation of the what the Joker is all about and what kind of person he is. It covers pretty much every aspect of his character- the malevolence, the brilliance, the child-like whimsy, the creativity, the Bat-obsession, and how goddamn dangerous he is.
I love it primarily for the animation as well as the obvious well-deserved tribute to Adam West it was. But also, in a sort of meta-level irony, it winds up predicting the role BTAS would play in introducing the idea of Batman to a young generation. It retroactively becomes a tribute to itself in a really cool, non-masturbatory way.
William Parker
Honestly The Laughing Fish should be the golden standard of what Joker stories ought to aspire to be, instead of The Killing Joke.
And as much as I adore Strange Apparitions as a whole, TAS made Laughing Fish even better by removing the subplots and incorporating parts of the finale of Joker's Five-Way Revenge.
What we got was a godsend as straight-forward and well-crafted as some of Bill Finger's finest stories with the best Joker characterization of all time.
God I love this show.
Chase Harris
This. It's honestly the only one I really remembered in full from when I was a kid. I'm also pretty sure she was the reason I love ribbon chokers so much.
Julian King
Showdown.
Bentley Morris
Does anyone have that interesting episode watch order that attempts to give the series a semi-coherent timeline?
Evan Parker
Hardly an original choice but its still worth mentioning
Joshua Gray
It's hard to pick a favorite..
Blake Mitchell
It's absolutely worth mentioning, before Heart of Ice Mr. Freeze was just the Captain Cold of Batman villains with absolutely no personality or backstory other than "I like to freeze things with my freeze gun"
Adam Richardson
>no mention of "See no Evil"
Fuck all of you.
Liam Robinson
/myguy/
It sickens me that it took this long for Sup Forums to mention this episode.
Matthew Walker
Freeze wishes he could be Captain Cold when he grows up.
Angel Moore
You're not alone. I felt this episode stuck out for lack of quality. I haven't watched it in many years but I remember even the animation being subpar. It felt very rushed, even as a kid.
Christopher Davis
I meant he was a version of captain cold if captain cold had no personality.
Jose Baker
What episode is this? This picture haunts me
Justin Harris
Michael James
Landon Clark
She has a fairly limited gimmick and motivations that don't support a recurring villain. She also doesn't make for a good fight scene. She'd be best for a one or two-shot villain then use her as supporting cast.
