A commentary... you wily bastard. Don't think this is over Critic. I will hunt you down, but only after every person or thing you hold dear becomes an appetizer for the destruction I will rain down upon you. Sating my hunger for revenge by only the smallest of degrees until I make you the main course. AND I WILL FEAST!
...But that can all wait until I'm done enjoying this commentary.

We understand that you're busy; no need to apologize for delays.
I said it on the source video, and I'll say it again: I love how dark this 'toon is and I wish more shows would do it.

All you fans of BTAS, I highly recommend Under the Red Hood, an animated movie released last year by Bruce Timm.

Oh yeah. I love that film. It's by far the best of the DC Universe animated original movies. It's like "The Dark Knight" if it was a DTV animated film.

@ TragicGuineaPig
Saw it on Netflix and I was thoroughly impressed.
Also, the 12 minute Jonah Hex short is an amazing cherry on the top of the Awesome Sundae that was Batman: Under the Red Hood.
The movie itself was thoroughly enjoyable. Dark, compelling, and pulls no punches. Especially that opening.
I'll throw my recommendation in with TragicGuineaPig and tell everyone whose a fan of Batman or superheroes in general that haven't seen this movie to check it out.
@ Doug
Don't apologize. Enjoy your vacation, refuel your think tank and keep it up. God bless.

08.30.2011 - 22:16 | Scalding Hotthis show seems really awesome, i might check it out if i have some free time on my hands
-
08.31.2011 - 21:29 | HatchetmanIf you do check it out, I'd continue on into Batman Beyond. It was a great follow up to this series in the same continuity.

Honestly, I love the commentaries you do! :) It's always fun and awesome to hear you and sometimes Rob discuss the review. Have fun in Austria, and glad you had an awesome time in Disney World!! :)

08.30.2011 - 23:02 | SpeedyEricMan, I love both this show and that show. I am one happy nerd.
I also had a batman cowl like that. It was Halloween 1992, and I wanted to be Batman. I was serprised as hell to see that my mom came home with a Batman Returns cowl. It's like the one you were wearing, but with the bat shield worn on the 1992 film. I recently threw it away (I know, sad) because I was keeping on the top shelf of my closet which I sometimes keep the light on, whiched caused it to melt. I am however interested in getting a Christian Bale version cowl if I would ever catch my eye on one.
I'm one of those people who Loves "The New Batman Adventures," aka "Batman: The Redesigned Series."
Before this episode came out, I was wondering if you would ever make a video about Batman: TAS, but I didn't expect a Top 11 episodes list. But still, smart choice.
According to Wikipedia, Nora Fries first appeared on this show.
Awesome commentary, Doug, and thanks for giving us some info about the yearly specials.

Once I get a new cash flow coming in I need to remember to remind myself to pick up the remaining seasons after the first along with Mask of the Phantasm.

I'll forgive you Critic! This time! This show is amazing though. I remember being in grade 1 thinking it was the coolest show ever. Thankfully the show still holds up!

It's okay that you need to delay. Hee hee I rhymed.

No one ever mentions Torch song the first episode with Firefly. It was a really creepy episode about stalking and Pyromania.
The first two acts are absolute gold but it really falls to pieces at the end in a spectacular way with the villian trying to burn down all of Gotham for some reason. With a character like Firefly you just have ask to many questions as to how he was able to build all his gear.
He would actually be seen only two more times, Once in Legends Of The Dark Knight & again in Justice League

i have to get the dvd's for batman t.a.s. it looks like nothing but epic
-
I can't be the only one who doesn't like these commentaries replacing reviews, these should be specials, not delayers...
-
08.30.2011 - 23:53 | Robert the Kid
I wish you do a top 11 Gargoyles episodes list.
-
08.30.2011 - 23:53 | darkness shade sonataand by the way, if these are used because you are busy, you could always just say "I am busy, no review this week" I don't mind those

08.31.2011 - 05:13 | DestroyDid somebody tape your eyes open and force you to click play?

You said that you wished there was something else on top of the dream for the episode "Over the edge" but there was. The point they make at the end is that Batgirl is gassed by Scarecrow and so she was dreaming about one of her worst fears and she actually confronts her dad a little to try and fix it. I thought it worked well enough and was better than it was just a dream.
Love your reviews look forward to the next one.
-
NC, would you consider doing your top 11 tv shows? You've reviewed so many as a whole, but where do they stand in the grand scheme of things? We've heard you mention sitcoms over the years (Seinfeld, Roseanne, etc).

No need to apologize Doug, commentaries are always nice. I'm glad you chose to do one for this episode. It was nice to hear more of your thoughts on the show. Hope you have fun in Austria and on your vacation.

I love the commentaries, honestly I'd be willing to give up less regular NC's if we got a commentary in its place every so often instead of once in a blue moon.
As for the New Batman Adventures Beautiful Women critique, its a legitimate one. I have thought the same thing to myself. The reason for that is: BRUCE TIMM. I swear this guy must have been born and raised in a country full of nothing but beautiful women with long legs, mini-skirts and sexy figures because that's the only explanation. That he's never met a regular woman and to him that is normal.

Missed that quick reference you made to Mudslide before. I have to agree with you Batman was really kind of a dick to Clayface. I mean in that opening chase of that episode Batman offers to help cure Clayface but by the end of the he shuts him down even though by that time he had learned that Clayface was stealing just keep himself alive. I mean WTF Batman?
-
08.31.2011 - 00:45 | AndrennI should have posted this in the actual video but since you brought it up in the commentary I'll post it here: Over the Edge has everything to do with Barbara Gordon. It shows the fall out if she were to die and how huge an impact her loss would tear the Batman family apart. In Batman: TAS Babs was kind of unimportant. She'd show up but her impact wasn't really felt. Then all of a sudden she's a main character and regular in New Batman Adventures and it would be easy to wonder why is she so important? Up to now she only showed up once in a blue moon. But here it shows how important her connection to her father, to Batman, Nightwing and Robin is and how all these relationships affect her as well. Its not just a what if story, its telling the audience how important Barbara is and what one death could do to tear it all down. Then at the end when she tries to confess to her father it shows that she can still be Batgirl and be the Police Comissioner's Daughter. Its all about how important Barbara is and is really her coming to a big revelation when she sees just what could happen if her father found out or if she died as Batgirl. Sorry to rant, Doug. Not even sure if you'll read this comment, but you can't say Over the Edge has nothing to do with Barbara when its all about her clear as day.

Aw, shame there isn't a new review, but if you're travelling all over the place then hey, bring on the Batman commentary! I like your commentaries anyway, those and your video's when it's just you playing...well, you. Improv ftw!
Have a good vacation, and enjoy Austria too.

Yes you are right. In fact in the per-crisis silver age comics Mr. Freeze back story is just he's a rogue scientist who invented a freeze gun, which backfired on him, and therefore he needs to stay in sup-zero conditions to survive. Not much to him.

I love this episode! This show brings back so many memories of my childhood!
There were other Grait Mr. Freeze stories that whole movie Batman Sub Zero was perfect! It had the semi-sad happy ending with Mr. Freeze's wife getting cured by Wayne indastries, but Mr. Freeze fakes his own eath as he knows his wife will be better off thinking he's dead... granted later that ruined this plot with the new redisned head in a jar Mr. Freeze in that later season!
I am curious of your openion of Batman Beyond and that whole series! Me I'm mixed on it! I like it but I hated how they ended a lot of the characters like the Joker, Harley Quinn, Robin, Thalia Al Ghoul, and Bane!
Poison Ivy was a tragic character too and the epsiode I got in mind shows this. I don't recall the name but it's the one where they reveal that all she wants is a family but ue to her plant based mutation and imunity to her own poisons she can't get pregnaunt, so in this story she's cloning half plant half human pople and living with some guy she's got under some spell!
Also, an episode I forget the name of too but was an epsidoe I hated as a kid but enjoy now as an adlut is the one where Bruce Wayne goes under cover as a homeless man and disovers a slave labor prison camp run by some large fat kingpin bastard. And there's this sweat box thing he puts the guys in when they try to exsape and all that jazz!

You're thinking of "House and Garden" and "The Forgotten."
House and Garden wins for most WTF moment in Btas.

08.31.2011 - 01:19 | EP.Pixels"Hello. I'm Batman. I remember it...because I'm batman."
Best intro ever. I'm only 16 but I caught some of this show. This show is one of many pieces of evidence proving our childhoods' TV was far superior to kids TV today

A top 11 and a commentary in less than a week? Bonus!
Ya, Joker's Favor is still my favorite. Charlie's Theme song is so funny and conveys what a bumbling boob he is all at once. I don't want to spoil it but Joker's Favor is the Joker at his funniest in the show.
