Episode 18 - 'The Color of Revenge!' Discussion Thread

[Mister J]

"Batman and Robin team up again, but it's not like it always was -- there was a reason Robin left to go work on his own. As Crazy Quilt comes after Robin for revenge, all the dirty laundry comes out between the dynamic duo!"

The episode was written by Todd Casey and directed by Michael Chang.

The voice cast includes Diedrich Bader as Batman and Solomon Grundy, Jeremy Shada as young Robin, Jeffrey Tambor as Crazy Quilt, Green and Red, Sean Donnellan as Blue and Cranford Wilson as Robin.

Airing: May 22

Short pause ...hold your breath for the Dynamic Duo!

 

[SpideyForPrez]

Ohhh I am very excited for this! I hope we get some "back to back" Adam West, Burt Ward style fighting.

I wonder how old they'll portray Robin. Kind of wish they were using a cooler villain other than Crazy Quilt for the episode. Riddler would've been cool against the dynamic duo!

I'm fine with Crazy Quilt as the main villain. He has some history with Robin in the comics, and I'm glad they are actually fleshing out the "cameo villains" in the show.

As long as we see Batman and Robin kick ass, even for one episode, it should be awesome.

God damn i was worried with the 1st video showing our Jailbat skinshowing Robin but that seems to jsut be a flashback. <3 Loving Robin's voice, so good _and_ hes actually funny!

 

[Mister J]

Thanks foir the sweet clips, Drz.

Great action. The Robin costume redesign is blod, but I'm not really digging the yellow pants. Dick is also older than I imagined he'd be. The possibility of Nightwing doesn't seem as remote as I once thought.

 

[DJ Kornphlake]

It's not a redesign, it's the Earth-2 Robin costume.

 

[Mister J]

Damn if it isn't. Thre was a vague familiarity to it. My recall was lacking.

 

[DJ Kornphlake]

Heh, I had to double-check myself before I posted.

 

[NightBeetle]

Can't Wait!!!!!

More pics here.

I love the nod to the 60's show Batrope bit in the third pic.

 

[SHADOWBAT69]

I love it!

 

[Cain]

Oh yeah! t:

Whats with having Grundy in 2 teasers in a row?

 

[Mister J]

There's another ep before this one with no Grundy, but I get what you're saying. I suppose he could be a bit part of the main Crazy Quilt plot, but I've seen nothing of it. Maybe they're going for a little more continuity in arcs and leading up to something. *shrugs*

I remember director Ben Jones once hinting at "some story arc of sorts" during the second season. I'm guessing it either has something to do with Equinox or the Outsiders.

 

[KBX]

OH I got no problem with it just curious. Hey I am all for more continuity....

Next we just need an episode with Bats, Robin and Batgirl....

 

[Two-Face=Badass]

Grundy doesn't appear in the teaser, he's like the second cold open that Cavalier and Top were. I'm guessing flashback Robin is the teaser.

 

[SpideyForPrez]

Yeah! I can't wait for this episode! I've been waiting to see Robin on this show since the first episode. I've been an oldschool Robin fan since I was very little.

And to be honest, I'm glad they're going with the green undies no pants look on Robin for the flashback. Some people might have been happy not seeing that at all. But the look just reminds me of being a Robin fan when I was kid. Back before I knew what words like jailbait, gay, and pedophile meant. Even today I don't look at it like that, I just see it as outdated and silly. But I'm all for nostalgia and silver age awesomeness that this show does so well!

I just hope this episode has some nice refrences to the Adam West show, this is likely to overtake 'Dawn of the Deadman' as my favorite episode so far. That is until next week !

 

[Ceb-Man]

I absolutely loved this episode!
Spoliers............................................................................................



I loved the nods in the beginning to the 60's tv show! the Bat phone, the Bat poles, coming out of the Batcave. Robin's kid utility belt looks like Burt Ward's belt from the series.

The Earth 2 Robin costume on a young adult Grayson! awesome! One of my top favs of the series!

 

[SpideyForPrez]

Before the teaser was over this was already my favorite episode. I hope we see Robin in future episodes and teasers. And eventually Nightwing!

 

[signalman]

I really like the way Crazy Quilt was handle. He was no Fool but an actual dangerous foe for our Heroes.
Also like the voice for CQ. Not sure who did the voice.
Credits go by so fast and are so tiny because as usual CN promote "Clone Wars".

Love the Homage to the 60's live-action show in the teaser.
Robin's adult voice sounded a little off to me. Maybe if it had been a little deeper and snide sounding.

Overall a solid episode.

 

[Drz]

The 60's live-aciton show homages were awesome, and Robin was a ENJOYABLE character, wow that took along time to accomplish after B:TAS succeeded with it. Also Crazy Quilt was a good villain, and the episode was pretty serious tuned and not so much humour on it outside the puns. It didn't have that crazy show energy as the plot was just... really good to be honest.

 

[whiplash]

anybody notice that the incarnation of Robin is a combo of all 3 Robin characters? Dick's story and Bludhaven: Jason's Arrogance and attitude: Tim's Staff fighting....Just observing

 

[3dman27]

would a robin spin off show work?

 

[Mister J]

Good stuff last night. I, too, noticed that the plot was a little more serious in tone than usual, but still balanced with some fun. I expected over the top zaniness with Crazy Quilt involved, but what we got was preferable.

Loved the 60's homages! I must have replayed the Bat-Phone/Shakespeare head/Batpole/Batmobile sequence 5 times over before I got to the rest of the ep.

Another Robin appearance in certainly in order. If for nothing else than to get him back into that sidecar.

Also like the voice for CQ. Not sure who did the voice.
