House and Garden is one of those great episodes that are engraved in my mind since I was young. The idea that Ivy was reformed, that she really wanted a family, but wanted it on her own terms was both very despicable but also very sad. It all played very well, and the twist ending always get me. Not so long ago, I played that episode to my little brother and he went "Whaaaat?!". It was great. Also, it set up the basis for that Batman Adventures comic in which
is revealed that TNBA design Ivy was just another of Ivy's plant clones.
 
Joker's Wild.

Awesome episode, my 6th fave episode episode and that music in it is so damned memorable that it's no funny and who thinks this is the best Joker episode ever? i do and this was the debut of that ever hot as hell Harley.

I think you meant "Joker's Favor". That's the episode that introduced Harley.:yay:
 
I love my DVR and The Hub.

I watch B:TAS after school everyday. I've got eight episodes on their now.

Amen to that. I can relate and agree. Although I watch it in the mornings and weekends. We share a tv and my parents bug me for having 82 episodes. :woot:I have 4 episodes and counting of Superman The Animated Series. I'll take The Hub over DC Nation anyday.
 
Oh you need the season sets ASAP.

I so agree with that it has a Twilight Zone-esque twist with and who knew in the end Ivy was somewhere else.

I love the Catwoman animated skin as well.. :hrt:

Damn right Two-Face, we both adore Catwoman and i also adore harley and Ivy as well.

The best episode was from the new animated series "over the edge" that episode was just brilliant.

That episode did kicked ass i should say.

Adrienne sounds stiff as hell on that ad... but Kevin rocked it.

Adrienne was perfect in the role don't you think?

The pictures don't show but I like Selina in both hair colours.

I fixed it and put in two picture links.


Ever noticed that the new design of Wayne looks like a buffed up pillsbury doughboy and how did his eyes turned from brown to blue suddenly?

I watched the premiere ("The Cat and the Claw" Part 1) back when I was 9 years old and had my mind blown.

Ah yes i am that old as i saw the pilot On Leather Wings when it first aired on Fox on prime time and the series premiere episode Cat and the Claw was nice,and my 11 year old mind was blown already. But did anyone else thought Red-Claw was a rip-off of Baroness from GI Joe? i would love to see them kick ass others butts to see who is the better femme terrorist.

Yeah there's a pretty wide majority of people who prefer the BTAS looks over TNBA (except for a few). I don't know how anyone can like Catwoman's TNBA look.

I liked it, Catwoman's TNBA look is probably based on Burton's sketch for Catwoman on Batman Returns and who else thought brunette version was pretty and who agrees with me that she looks like Najassa Kinski from 1982's Cat People movie with that look? and any guys here thought Selina in those night-clothes on Cult of the Cat was awesome? i did when i was 17 watching that on WB and though "f ***, she looks fine" and fantasizing about her.

Couldn't find a better image.

I love Old Wounds. Seeing the disintegration of the Batman and Robin partnership.

Oh yes it was troubling sort of speak.

Happy Birthday BTAS. Greatest Batman show ever. :ybat: :batman:

Agree Two-Face.

I obviously enjoy her Michelle Pfeiffer-esque design... but I would have preferred long black hair.
Well WB forced Timm to make Selina look like Pfeiffer but he got rid of the design for the 4th and 5th seasons.

Over the Edge is probably my favorite episode. It must be embarrassing to get your butt handed to you by Crane. xD

Yes it was a great episode but the ending was unexpected.

Blind as a Bat is an underrated gem. Not only was Penguin used to his full villainous potential, but it was great seeing Batman trying to deal with a handicap while trying to stop an emergency threat to Gotham.

That's one of my top 35 fave episodes on number 15. Who else thought it was neat to see Batman try to be like Daredevil in that one episode? best Penguin episode hands down and who thought Bruce look spooky with his white eyes?

Yet strangely made Catwoman herself look more like the movie version minus the stitches.
 
My new review is finally up! Check it out, I'd love some feedback: Part 1, Part 2

I know what you mean Bam, LOL.

I like Baby Doll. It's one of those episodes that are embedded in my mind. I don't know, it was a nice addition for the rogues gallery. It was different, and there was an underlying sadness to her, like many other rogues. I don't know if it is because of the ending like it was mentioned before, but nevertheless I like it.

I felt bad about Babydoll when i saw that episode as i felt like crying at the end. But does she remind anyone of Darla Dimple from Cats Don't Dance? i did when i saw that movie on HBO back in 97 when i was 15 and thought the same thing.

Only difference is Darla doesn't have a kung fu broad by her side but a giant dude who looks like Mr. X from Resident Evil 2 in a monkey suit.

i always liked "Joker's wild"

Joker's Wild is a fun episode as it's number 31 on my top 35 fave episodes despite being done by Akom but the writing by Paul Dini is excellent no doubt and who was surprised that both Ernie Hudson and Clash of the Titans's Harry Hamlin were in it? and who doesn't love it when Joker trolled Ivy?

Did anyone else noticed Enrie's voice? when i saw that episode i was like, it's that Ghostbusters guy's voice and i was right when i saw the credits. But isn't it odd that Hamlin would voice 2 characters in 2 episodes?

Did anyone find it nice that Bruce beat Joker in a poker match? it felt like something out of a James Bond movie sort of speak. We all know Bruce never looses in a match.

The only redesign I really hated was The Joker...

Everyone else looked fine for the most part. In fact I think it's a shame the show only got 24 episodes... I really would have liked more time in that world.

Anyone else thinks redesigned Joker looks like an Animaniac and a muppet? i always thought of that but i still got use to his design.

Wasn't Cat Scratch Fever the episode that Bruce Timm thought was so horribly animated he actually requested AKOM Studios not animate any more B:TAS episodes?

But Yeah... AKOM and Blue Pencil, Si were definitely the two worst studios on the show.

Does the episode Cat Scratch Fever's title remind anyone of the Ted Nugget song? i always thought so and remember when Catwoman was burning up as batman felt her head and said "Your hot" and she said "Now you noticed"? when i saw that episode i said "No kidding she's hot" LOL.

Who else thought Treat Williams was excellent as Professor Milo and thought Milo looks like Moe? i always did thought of that when i first saw this episode and Moon of the Wolf.

Though the ending was quite touching you have to admit.

Tyger, Tyger is one of my favorites. I don't know why it would be unpopular.

Tyger Tyger is a cool episode, that's my 32 fave episode on my top 35 fave episodes. Who thinks this episode is like a jazzed up crossed between Island of Dr. Moreau, Splice, the Tiny Toons episode "Hare Raising Night" (Remember that episode?), the 1984 Osamu Tezuka anime "Bagi The Mighty Monster of Nature", The Fly, EC horror comics and the cult sci-fi horror comedy "Freaked" (Remember the Alex Winter movie with Randy Quaid as the mad scientist who transformed people into mutant freaks?)? it has similarities to those things including Freaked as even Dr. Emile Dorian is similar to both Moreau and Randy Quaid's mad scientist character Elijah Skuggs but what if he poured Freaked's Zygrot 49 on Selina than injecting her with T99 would it still be the the same? and that would have been funny if he put the antitote in a batch of delicious macaroons like in that movie. Does Dorain look like David Cronenberg without glasses to anyone?

Any guys here thought mutated Selina on that episode was *wolf whistle*? i did. I did missed out on that episode the first time it aired due to having a small vacation but i did watched that episode when it reaired on my 12th birthday about 19 years ago and i rememebered watching it with my bigger brother who was 20 at the time and he loved the show/DC comics, i remembered when mutated catgirl Selina crept out of the shadows i was saying "what the..". Then after commercial break, when she did that seductive pose in the exhibit i was saying "Holy hell, she's hot!" as i whistled at her and my jaw with tounge were dropped during the entire episode, i even fantasized about her and my brother told me "Your nuts", LOL, that episode brings back so many memories.

I just adore Catwoman/Selina Kyle for 23 years no matter what she looks like. I mean it doesn't matter whether it's blonde/brunette versions on TAS, comic versions (except for that ugly shaved headed Sinead O'Conner looking hooker from Year One), Julie Newmar/Lee Meriwether versions, Michelle Pfeifer version. The Batman version, Brave and The Bold version, Arkham City version and even Tyger Tyger version, now Hathaway's version recently just took my breath away like all those did.

Who thinks mutated Selina is in the same league as other hot animated catgirls back then like Cleo on Heathcliff, Cheetara and Pumraya from Thundercats, M'ress on the Star Trek cartoon, Kit Mambo from Animalympics, Aishia Clan Clan from Outlaw Star, Jenny from Bucky O'Hare, Felicia from Darkstalkers, Kitten Kaboodle from Talespin, the Puma Twins from Tank Police, Callie Briggs from Swat Kats or whatever?

Oh and speaking of Catwoman, the Catwalk episode is awesome just for shots like this: :oldrazz:

Oh yes baby, i loves that:hrt::hrt::hrt::hrt::hrt::woot:
 
Watched Cat Scratch Fever.

I love CSF episode and "Your hot" "Now you notice" I love they way Bruce Timm and Co drew Batman female heros and villains damn they were hot for a character. Catwoman and Ivy are favourites especially Catwoman. Also watched The Strange Secret Of Bruce Wayne. Now this episode least favourite I don't know how to explain I just feel they could have done two part like Robins or Two-Face parts.
 
I didn't like Cat Scratch Fever much. The animation was pretty bad, and Catwoman was sick in bed for most of it.
 
Just watched SubZero... I forgot just how enjoyable it was. Sure, it feels more like an extended episode than an actual ''movie'' but it's still a great story for Mr Freeze. And frankly it should have been his conclusion.

Plus the score was amazing.

Subzero is very underrated. It's one special thing, because it is more of a Victor Fries story than a Batman one. Robin had a more protagonic role in this one. The last act is awesome, and the ending is very moving.
 
And not to mention the animation. Remember the CGI Batwing?

That's Tony Jay, isn't it?

The animation I thought was ok when it wasn't using CG.
 
Just imagine...How would guys feel if B:TAS was the debut of Batman, with no comic books or movies before it? I would still love it, but still, it's an interesting thought.
 
Yeah, the CGI in Subzero looked silly at times.
 
I've been reading the series bible for B:TAS lately and their description of Gordon raised an eyebrow...

''A pipe smoking Irishman who is both tough and fair...''

Guess they dropped that pretty quick.
 
That reminded me immediately of Chief O'Hara. Maybe that's why they threw that aspect away.
