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

[Cain]

Amazing episode overall but my absolute favorite part aside from seeing the Shakespeare bust statue was when Batman was trapped and Robin was like "before I save you" and he goes off on a little rant then says "I'm just as good as the great Batman" or something like that and then he turns around to realize that Batman has already escaped from the trap he was in. LOL that was comedy.

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.

Jeffrey Tambor

wouldn't the end've been better if batman was in the sidecar this time

For the teaser, we take a look back at memory lane as Batman and a young Robin defeat the criminal Crazy Quilt, who is blinded at the end of their fight. It's all fun and games with the old Dynamic Duo, unaware of what will happen years for now.

Robin, now older and more independent, guards the corrupt city of Bludhaven. However, he becomes displeased when Batman comes after hearing Crazy Quilt has escaped from Arkham Asylum. Quilt, now driven insane with revenge against Robin, lays traps for him and obtain his revenge. Crazy Quilt was actually threatening. I know his gimmick is goofy, but the way he was handled as a deranged maniac with dangerous technology, I thought he was well don. Jeffrey Tambor voicing him also helped.

As for Batman and Robin, I do agree it is weird how some people have different prespectives from Batman and Robin. While they could have made Robin a little less whiny, I'm glad they did not hold back on their strained partnership. I know this is weird in a lightharted kids show, but it would have been very weird to see them all happy, yet separated. I think The Batman actually handled it better, where Batman and Nightwing were separated, but had mutual respect for each other.

I also enjoyed the little humor in this episode, especially Batman dissing a blind person, Batman unknowingly repeating everything Robin said, and the end with Robin still angrily riding the sidecar. Brat got what he deserved! And a Killer Moth mention.


NEXT WEEK: Batman and Ace the Bat-Hound hunt down and fight doppleganger Catman and his pet tiger. Then, Batman deals with Bat-Mite, an interdimensional nerd and huge Batman fan. From creating monsters, to upgrading minor villain Calendar Man, Bat-Mite causes the Caped Crusader many troubles and headaches

What else can I add that really hasnt already been mentioned? The opener was amazing. The 60's homage was great! I love how they even had the proper engine sound when the Batmobile sped off. Truly a 10 out of 10 for the entire episode.

I want more Robin! This episode showed us what an entire series based on Batman & Robin and their rogues can do in this style!

 

[Ceb-Man]

would a robin spin off show work?

I think it could! I would love to see that!

 

[Two-Face=Badass]

Awesome episode, the opener was brilliant, and they actually made Crazy Quilt a threatening villain!

Love the references in this ep:
-60's homages: Opening music, Batphone, Shakespeare secret button, Batpoles, Adam West cave exit, "Holy *insert here*", "Gosh!", ridiculous Bat-death trap etc
-Speedy and Aqualad mentions
-"It's on the corner of Haney and Aparo!" The team behind the original comic.
-Bludhaven!
-"Once a Grayson, always a Grayson!"
-And a FREAKING Killer Moth mention! YES!

So yeah, definitely one of the awesomest eps.

Considering he was knocked out, I doubt it.

Loved the episode--did good on the relationship between Dick and Bruce, and actually made Crazy Quilt, of all people, a credible threat.

Only problem? Robin's grown-up costume. I think they should have just ditched the yellow completely. Though, considering Robin's previous costume history, it could have been a lot worse:

Ugh,i remember seeing that costume in a book,did Robin wear this long? Didn't the Earth-2 Robin have another horrible look before his final cool suit featured in the show? tell me that's a custom figure! That's Wonder-man level BAD. Good job on it if it is a custom by the way.
I liked the main Earth-2 costume featured in the show,of course,anything Earth-2 is alright by me.

For me personally, its brining a fresh take from what we've been presented in recent years. I always liked the retro styles of Batman, so the designs really appeal to me. I also like how they are giving us things from the entire 70 years of batmans history. Its just a fun show, not too serious, and not too goofy. It has a little bit of something for everyone.
