Episode 9 - 'Journey to the Center of the Bat!' Discussion Thread

[Daredevil_2003]

In a more serious adaptation I defintely enjoy the bitter surface-dweller hater, but I really loved the more competent Zapp Brannigan (as someone else put it ) shown here, great stuff.

The teaser was a lot of fun, as well, but that's where my good review ends. The rest of the episode was meh, IMO.

Did anyone else find the Atom character to be depicted a little gay? I'm just talking performance. Don't even ask about the whole entering another man's body thing...

Nah, the guy's a nerd, and usually stereotype nerds have lisps. It sounds weird combined with an asian accent, though.

I wouldn't mind them infering a character's gay, though.

I think I like it better when we see Bats with 2 dc characters than just one. I dunno, I just seem to like the interaction more.

I did not like Elongated Man's voice or him changing shape's and baby face being a man with a baby's head instead of the baby doll in Battas but i like their arguing similar to the comics. I like the JLU elongated man's voice instead of this one I like his costume though except fr his mask. I though he was publicbut mabye this is part of his life where he keeps hs identity secret. Atom and AQUAMAN WAS GREAT though

Well, this was the first episode I've ever seen of this show. It's freaking hilarious. I'm mad I didn't start watching it earlier.

I loved the wacky portrayal of Aquaman. JL/JLU took so much time saying "Look, everyone! Aquaman's not a joke! He's a very serious and intimidating badass!" Then this show comes along like "We've got Batman wearing blue with half-circle eyes and giving quirky one-liners in his head. You think we're not gonna joke about Aquaman?"

I like this Aquaman more. An over-the-top drinking buddy personality type.

I found Aquaman to be greatly more tolerable than I did in his first episode. He was down right enjoyable. The dynamic between he and Ryan was cliched, but fun.

I agree ! I found Aquaman a bit too much but I really enjoyed him ! More than in his first appearance.
And I agree too, the duo was cliched as hell but in the end was very sweet because there were not the traditionnal "now I understand" kind of things.
Maybe it is just me but I felt the adventure in this episode : I hate giant bugs, even if cartoons, mindless creatures that kill you : I hate it. And I felt it was cool to see Aquaman fight and the 2 of them fleeing. It was fast, strong, adventurous.
Batman wanting to help, that was understandable but .... I did not like it a lot. He could have been killed stupidely and kill Atom and Aquaman. Anyway it put into the light that even in a humorous serie batman is dark and serious, and for me it is important. He is not swinging and dancing and smiling all the time. Even if this serie he is serious and I think it helps understandingthe character rather than when everybody is serious around.
And of course : I like the batplane, I'm a fan of the batmobile and I LOVE the batboat/sub.
Cool episode, one of the best for me in the serie.

does anyone else think that the voice actor for Aquaman sounds like what Marvel's Hurcules should sound like if he ever got a cartoon?

"They're replicating!"/"Yes, and more of them are growing too!".

Priceless.

While The Atom did have a speech pattern similar to the one commonly associated with homosexual males, NOTHING was gayer than Plas and Ralph *****ing it out over which of them Batman preferred working with the most.
