It can't be described my words. It was way dark. I gasped, i felt sorry for Batman, i cheered for him.. You will love this episode, it brings out an +A cast with a +A story.

Anyhow discuss away.
 
wow. they sure made zatanna fairly.... urm... busty.
 
Sooo, Paul Dini basically decided to write an episode of Batman: The Animated Series for this one. It was pretty damn good too.
 
This was clearly not just a B:TAS episode. Between The Spectre, Phantom Stranger, the time traveling, and just the way in which the characters were written...it was Brave and the Bold. But a great episode to be sure.
 
NO Xbox/PSN either? :( Shame!

Btw theres 1 more BTAS voice actor who makes a cameo in the episode. Funny how he wasn't mentioned. If you wanna know who, read away:
Richard Moll aka Two-Face from BTAS.
 
Sadly I do not. Thanks for keeping the spoilers in tags guys too.

Can I just ask you a few closed questions about it Draz?

Just wondering if the teaser was good? Did the whole episode live up to the hype or not quite? Do you feel the Spectre and Phantom Stranger were accurately presented? And was the third act as strong or stronger than the rest? (I ask this because some episodes are often great but the last third not as good).
 
Teaser:
It's the Zatanna one. It's pretty light tuned and Zatanna has huge ****. She also pulls out tied-rope out of her mouth.... Paul Dini you dirty man!!!!!!! :p The teaser is enjoyble that ends with a badass small talk between Batman and Zatanna.

Spectre and Phantom Stranger:
Sadly i barely know anything about these two, but the little i know about Spectre i'd say so. He was all about god's wrath, the embodiment of vengeance.

Third act:
dude it ****ing steals the show. The last 5 minutes are the epitome of epicness. I hate using the word epic because i feel it's overused, but trust me you will drop your jaw and go shocked. Infact i felt this might have been the episode Diedrich Bader said he cried, because you REALLY feel emotion.
 
Credit for much of the third act rests with one man that isn't Paul Dini.

Dini mainly updated the Joe Chill conclusion from Bill Finger's "The Origin of Batman". Pretty much the definition of a perfect Golden Age Batman story.
 
Episode is up in the PSN store, and it's a dollar cheaper than iTunes. $1.99 on PSN and $2.99 in iTunes. Given that this is the great Paul Dini writing, I'll pay for this episode just this one time :yay:

Downloading now!
 
This episode was by far the best episode of the series!!! I mean, I mean, I mean there was just so much awesomeness in the whole thing! The voices, the story, and is it just me or was this Diedrich Bader's best episode? He's really coming into his own as Batman, and sounded less corny. I also really liked hearing Richard Moll's voice again, if he did this hopefully he'll do the Arkham Asylum sequel.

And I was very happy to finally see [BLACKOUT]Alfred [/BLACKOUT]and [BLACKOUT]Bruce Wayne's face[/BLACKOUT]. This episode was appropriately titled because I was getting chills the whole time!

Long live this show!!!

Glad that you loved this. :) It was also great that they didn't ask Hamill to perform the Joker voice but made him do another sinister voice.
 
Anybody know where I can see the episode if I don't live in the USA? It isn't available on iTunes and PSN here in Germany.
But I would really like to see it, because this one sounds awesome and I have read that [BLACKOUT]Poison Ivy[/BLACKOUT] makes an appearance and I am a fan so I would really like to see it.
Anybody have an idea?

You could open an American PSN id, maybe? I know I wanted to download a Japanese game demo once and I was able to get into the Japanese PSN store, which was tricky cause I don't know a lick of Japanese, I just followed instructions I read online. If you can get into the U.S. store (which is probably easier cause I assume you speak English) then go into the video section and you'll find it under "Just-in TV" you'll have to enter in all your credit card info if you open up a new US account.

That's my best guess if you really wanna see the episode and can't wait. This one's worth paying for lemma tell ya! Or you could wait for it to be uploaded somewhere. I usually go to Veoh.com for this show, but as of right now they don't have this one up yet, but it might pop later, usually a better bet than YouTube and it'll be in one piece.

Thanks for the info :up:! Didn't knew Veoh.com, but it looks very good!
I have a US-account to download Demos who aren't available in Germany, but the only videos I can find are game trailers. Don't know why, but there isn't a video-section. Maybe it is only available when you have a US-IP-address or so?!
Think I just have to wait longer to see it...
 
That stinks. Personally I had a little trouble finding the video section the first time I used it. It's up in the top left corner, there's two little tabs "Game" and "Video". I missed it cause I can be a little thickheaded sometimes, thought they would be in the media section, maybe you missed it too? Or you're right and you can't access them outside the US. In which case be patient, it'll be worth it!

Alfred
has already showed up in "Invasion of the Secret Santas!". There's even part of the flashback in that episode.

Great episode. I'll give my full thoughts later.
 
Wow really awesome and powerful episode. Agree it's the best so far in the series, the bar has been raised. I am absolutely captivated by this entire series. When my 3 year old son first saw Abra kadabra he said "Look Daddy it's Crazy Quilt"...Can't wait for [BLACKOUT]The Reign of Emperor Joker[BLACKOUT][/BLACKOUT][/BLACKOUT]
 
Okay, I'm going insane not being able to watch this, does anyone know of a way to watch it?

I normally see it on Veoh but they can't get it, and itunes isn't available to me because I'm Australian.

Any clues?
 
You're closely asking for piracy here now. I'd suggest you drop asking for it. If you're really waiting for someone to upload it... Patiance is virtue.

You could always ask a friend who has PS3? If you got any gamer friends.
 
There is entirely too much awesome in this episode. It's the best yet.
