The Official Batman TAS Thread - Part 1

[Elevator Man]

I enjoyed this ep. The story and animation was top notch. Had a nice little arc for Croc. I also love the Superman homage too, where Batman does the shirt rip. And seeing Batman pole vaulting was awesome. If crime fighting never worked out for him he would've made a great athlete in the Olympics.

Trivia

• This marks the first time that Batman is shown to be willing to kill a sentient being.
• Thoth Khepera refers to herself as Legion, because many have shared their knowledge with her. This is an allusion to the biblical demon Legion.
• Nichelle Nichols, Brock Peters and David Warner all appeared in the movie Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.
• The hole in the archeological dig changes size throughout shots.

I was so happy to see that B:TAS is available for instant streaming on Amazon Prime. I know what I'm doing this week. Hmm, do you remember any thanksgiving-related episodes? I know the christmas ones, didn't know if they did thanksgiving as well... been a while since I've seen them all. I normally just rewatch like ten or so episodes haha.

 

[Kane52630]

I don't think they did, although The Mudslide episode did show Alfred cooking a goose but that's it. lol

Nice, thanks for the heads up. I have them all on DVD, but it's always so much easier just loading them on Prime or Netflix. They also have S:TAS, which I never really watched, so I'll catch up on those.

Ooo I didn't know about S:TAS! I will have so much to watch.

Boy... we're just getting lazier and lazier these days.

God forbid, you'd have to get up and put a disc in. The sheer horror. t:

lol just think of me, trying to rip each episode from my dvd copies just so I can gif them.

I do find it to be easier to watch in different rooms. I don't have to go to me bookshelf to get the disc I want, and then bring it back to my room. Now I just boot up my PS3 and the full catalog is right there.

BTAS Episode: Trial

http://kane52630.tumblr.com/post/68119795536/trial-x-batman-the-animated-series

Trivia

• Stephanie Zimbalist replaces Lynette Mettey as the voice of Janet Van Dorn. Stephanie is probably best known as the lead of the television series Remington Steele. Stephanie is also the daughter of Efrem Zimbalist, Jr., who voices Alfred.
• Stephanie also attended the Julliard School for a year, at the same time Kevin Conroy was there.
• When Batman delivers the leader of the "Skulls" gang to Gordon, the man's t-shirt features a clear homage to the symbol used by Marvel Comics' The Punisher.
• In delivering his verdict, Joker gives an obvious parody of Warner Bros.' Porky Pig.
• Although he is initially seen on the jury, The Riddler disappears entirely from the episode during the third act, with even his spot on the jury vacant. Even Scarecrow, who also didn’t have any lines, at least stayed until the end.
• The plot of this episode was the original idea for the first DCAU Batman movie, but it was felt that it worked better in the half-hour format. Instead, Batman: Mask of the Phantasm was made.
• The Scarecrow has no lines in this episode even though the script featured him speaking a few times. This is because Henry Polic II, Scarecrow's voice actor, had to undergo throat surgery and thus was unavailable.
• Killer Croc seems to have a fixation for throwing rocks at Batman: in "Almost Got 'Im", he considers it his finest hour to have thrown a really big one at him (though that was actually Batman disguised as Croc); similarly, in "Sideshow", Croc tries to crush Batman's head with a large rock.
• Mad Hatter refers to his first criminal act in "Mad as a Hatter".
• Poison Ivy refers to the time she nearly assassinated Two-Face (back when he was still Harvey Dent) in "Pretty Poison".

How I wish that ep had been a 2-parter

 

[Drakepool]

For a split-second I read "Stephanie Zimbalist" as "Stephanie Lemelin". O_O

Anyway, awesome episode. Great seeing all the villains and Batman dealing with them, as well as his relationship with Janet Van Dorn.

I love how Mad Hatter mouthed “Shoot him!” the same time Harley said it and how she barely moved her mouth when she did so.

[The Joker]

I love the Trial episode. Joker grabs Scarface's gun to shoot Batman while Batman and Croc are fighting.

Scarface: "Hold on, you'll hit Croc!!!"
Joker: "What's your point?"

lol.
