Batman And Harley Quinn Film Review


When we think of Batman we usually think of a character that's super serious and that isn't that much of a goofy character. Yet every so often we would get an animated film that really does remind us of just how really goofy that this character could be alot of the time with the film that i'm going to be talking to you all about today being one such a film and so then join me I review the film that sees the dark knight team up with Harley Quinn with the film in question being called simply just "Batman And Harley Quinn" enjoy.

The plot of this film is when Poison Ivy and Floronic Man embark on a scheme to change the entire human race into plants and so it's up Batman, Nightwing and Harley Quinn and track her down and stop them before it's far to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad as the films plot is goofy enough that it does somehow work and yet at the time it's also serious enough that we the audience to end up kind of buying into this films plot as out there as it does seem but in saying that tho this film plot does feel like it's a little bit on the weak side as while the film does give it's plot alot of screen time it doesn't spend alot of time in fully developing it's plot as alot of it is just spent with Batman , Nightwing and Harley going from one location to the next while getting into various scrapes which is fine for a scene or two but when that's the vast majority of the film with very little of those scenes actually adding anything to the plot of the film it does make you wonder why the makers of this film put those scenes in the film as they very easily could have filled the screen time just by developing the plot of the film which in turn would make this films plot feel all the more stronger then what it already is since as things stand this films plot feels more like the plot to bad episode of either the Harley Quinn animated show or Batman: The Animated Series with the plot of this film being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this film is Kevin Conroy as Bruce Wayne / Batman and Melissa Rauch as Dr. Harleen Quinzel / Harley Quinn. Also starring in this film is Loren Lester as Dick Grayson / Nightwing , Paget Brewster as Pamela Isley / Poison Ivy , Kevin Michael Richardson as Jason Woodrue / Floronic Man , John DiMaggio as Sarge Steel , Alec Holland / Swamp Thing , Eric Bauza as Wesley , Robin Atkin Downes as Charles "Rhino" Daly , Trevor Devall as Bobby Liebowitz , Rob Paulsen as Dr. Harold Goldblum , Min and Max and Anderson , Mindy Sterling as A Project Supervisor and this film co-writer and producer Bruce Timm as Michael J. Carter / Booster Gold.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. With all of this films actors turning in some really good performances which is something that does make alot of sense as alot of them have been playing their respective characters for quite literally decades at this point so much so that they are the voice of these characters for alot of people myself included and so it really does make alot of sense that they would nail their characters perfectly as they would know what kind of performance would best suit there respective characters and while she does turn in a good performance is Harley Quinn it's hard not to hear her character from The Big Bang Theory every single time that Melissa Rauch as even tho she puts on a voice for The Big Bang Theory it still does sound fairly similar to the voice that she uses for Harley Quinn in this film only more lower down and less high pitched with the best actor in the whole entire film of course being Kevin Conroy as the man just simply IS Batman with him proving in this film that he can play the character not only seriously like he did in Batman: The Animated Series but also play him so seriously that you do manage to get a few laughs out of him in the process and yet it oddly doesn't feel out of character either as he's still just that good as the character and while Loren Lester does very easily step back into the role of Dick Grayson Kevin is just pitch perfect as Batman with the acting that's in this very film really being helped by he fact that this films script is just so good that all this films actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film. 


Doing the animation for this film is the legends and the really greats that are currently over at DR Movie. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty i inn all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good which is not really all that surprising as DR Movie do usually do some pretty solid work and are usually pretty reliable the issue is tho is that there trying replicate the style of Batman: The Animated Series and that's just something that doesn't work this film as while they are a solid animation company and are a good choice to animate this film there usually better when there not just straight up copying somebody else's style but there zippy and zany animation does at times help to make the film alot more funnier then what it really had any right to be with the films backgrounds looking oddly simplistic for a direct to DVD movie so much so that you'd be forgiven for thinking that they were backgrounds from episodes of Batman: The Animated Series but there this films animation really does truly begin to shine is in the films action as the animation really does help to make the actin that's in this film really come alive and make it look like that each punch does hurt with this main being done through the characters facial expressions all of which do feel really on point in this film when by all rights the characters facial expressions could have been left unaltered and the animation would work just as well with even the animation team finding ways to have Batman show emotion through the use of his eyes in his mask which again worked really well to sell both the films comedy and the films action as well.


For some reason both this film and The Killing Joke both came out when Bruce Timm was trying to prove that Batman can be for adults as well as little kids. The issue is tho is that he already proved that back in the nineties with Batman: The Animated Series and where as that show told mature stories that had these very mature themes running through them and both The Killing Joke and this film the only things that was mature about them is the fact that characters hooked up with each other and that that they swore like sailors and that's it which is the more childish way to tell a mature as by all rights this film should have been a more adult tale telling the story of how hard it is for a criminal like Harley Quinn to even find work with her trying to go straight with there being one or two jokes thrown in there but the film instead chose to go the opposite way and instead have it so that Harley has already found a job which yes granted she's not that happy with as it is below her interms of her intelligence but there's nothing mature being said in this film as even Poison Ivy's scheme of trying to turn the human race into plants isn't saying anything mature as it instead feels like a scheme that she would come up with in a show that's aimed at kids whereas alot of scheme in Batman: The Animated Series had these more mature themes to them and while the only thing that was holding back The Killing Joke from being an actual mature take on Batman was THAT gross scene with Batgirl and Batman it was otherwise a really mature story where as here it felt like that the makers of the film forgot how to tell a mature story and instead just made a more mature kids film bottom line if you want a more mature Batman story watch the episode of Batman: The Animated Series called Heart Of Ice as that one twenty two minuet episode is more mature then this whole movie is.

This films co-writer Jim Krieg himself has said that he considers this film to be the strange red haired nephew to Batman: The Animated series. Which doesn't really make sense as not only do that show and this movie share the same two leading actors but the designs of all the characters are very similar to how they were in The New Batman Adventures as well with the only thing that separates that show from this film being the fact that the show was made for kids and that's really it with this film basically serving as the next episode of that show but at the same time tho this could also be because of the fact that the film was just using Bruce Timm's own art style and the fact that the show and this movie shared very similar looking character designs was just coincidental but if that is the case that Harley's fourth wall break when she mentions Nightwings mullet now makes no sense however this was to just be a nostalgia grab for the people that grew up watching that show then fair enough but at least have the courage to set it in the same continuity as it would have been more fun to see more of the world that we knew and loved thank to Batman: The Animated Series but thanks to the makers of this films own comments it does mean that this film both is and is not apart of that main series continuity which given that they have Harley dress up in her classic outfit throughout the whole film should be more then enough to make this part of the main series continuity however it does seem like Bruce Timm is ashamed of Batman: The Animated Series as he refuses to do anything related to Batman in that world despite the fact that there tons of stories in a feature film that could be told in that world.


While he is meant to be a main character in this film Floronic Man actually doesn't actually do all that much in the film. With him instead being more of a bodyguard to Poison Ivy and heck it's even hinted at that it's she that came up with there plan in this film with her being more a driving force when it comes to getting there plan down with Floronic Man only really doing something that's relevant to the plot when Harley in the most Harley way possible manages to convince Ivy not to go through with it as it could possibly mean that all of the human race could die if things are off by even a fraction but for alot of the time it's Ivy that's doing alot of the heavy lifting and for a plan that's this average really doesn't do her character any kind of favors as this films plan just feels like a waste of both characters as the plan really does hinge on Ivy acting out of the character as while she would want plants to rule the world she wouldn't want it at the expense of the human race as she would want herself to remain alive with Jason Woodrue coming more across as the typical high school bully type of character which fair enough does work well enough for his character but given that the two characters hated each other in Batman & Robin it does feel weird seeing them team up in this film and while there plan does work well with each others character it still doesn't change the fact that the plan as goofy as it is does work oddly well enough for this film as it is a goofy plan but it's also one that could have been alot more better then what it is in this film which to be fair having a more a goofy plan does work for this more goofy film but it would have worked even more f there scheme was a bit more well thought out.

Now then his films has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and fourteen minuets and thirteen seconds. Which to be fair to this film is pretty much the exact running time that you'd expect this kind of film to have with this film even having the right amount of plot there cover that amount of running time however tho this film really doesn't use it's running time all that wisely tho as the plot of this film isn't that well developed and the plot moves at a really fast pace as well with the only thing that could gave helped this films plot out quite alot was if the fact that the film actually took the time that it really did need to fully develop it's plot instead of having things happen in the film that don't really effect the plot of the film as then the films plot would be allowed to be developed more and have alot more thought and effort put into it as well with this even effecting the films characters as well as none of them are given that much time to get across what there personality is meant to be apart from oddly enough Harley Quinn who comes across as bein the best written character in the film where as characters like Nightwing for example doesn't really get anything this is despite the fact that the character did appear in The New Batman Adventures and while it's understand as to why Batman didn't get all that much either as he's the most well known character in this film at the same time tho it still would have been nice if the film did showcase just what it is that made him a great character in the first place but for whatever reason the makers of this film thought that having more comedy was better then having actual character development but I really will admit that this film really does have some really good pacing to it tho. 


So now then as this is an action film that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. With alot of this films action being alot more better then what you'd expect from a film that's abasically an action comedy where the film puts alot more focus on it's comedy aspect then it does it's action aspect but even so this films action is more better then what it should have been as by all rights this films action should have been really bad but for whatever reason the action in this film came out alot more better then what it should have been with the films best action being when Batman , Nightwing and Harley Quinn first attack Floronic Man and Poison Ivy as we get to see just what it is that all three heroes bring to the team and how they all act together in a fight which is something that will always be a cool thing to see but the film does also have another really good action scene as well with that being the fight between Harley and Nightwing as we get to see just how smart Harley is when it comes to being in a fight with her using her environment to her advantage which is something that does make her a more smarter character then what people really do give her credit for with this film having alot of really fun filled action scenes all of which really do come alive thanks to this films animation with this film being a perfect example of the animation actually helping the action come across as being alot more better then what it really should have been in it in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Overall this film is not alot of people seem to loo back on really fondly and for good reason as the film does gave alot of bad things in it but in saying that tho this film does have just as many good things working for it as well all of which do make this film a really fun film to watch in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very film really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 6 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official DC Movies fandom wiki page , the official Batman: The Animated Series fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very film that I used in this very review being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very film with alot of them being better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Batman: Gotham Knight Film Review


When you think of The Dark Knight trilogy you usually think of it as just being Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises. Yet the one film that not alot of people know about is the very film that i'm going to be reviewing for you all today as there is a fourth film in The Dark Knight trilogy with this film being set inbetween the events of Batman Begins and The Dark Knight and so then join me as I review the film that is Batman's first ever anime film with the film in question being called simply just "Batman: Gotham Knight" enjoy.

The plots of this film is in "Have I Got A Story For You" four kids each tell a story of how they met Batman whilst in "Crossfire" Crispus Allen must overcome his prejudices towards Batman when his partners life is threatened in "Field Test" Bruce Wayne tests out a powerful new gadget that works a little two well while in "In Darkness Dwells" Batman searches for the missing Cardinal O'Fallon when he is taken in the middle of a public speech he was giving in "Working Through Pain" Bruce Wayne flashes back to an earlier point in time where he learns to control any form of psychical pain and in "Deadshot" when The Mayor is assassinated it's up to Batman to find out who killed before it's far two late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plots that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plots that are actually actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad with some plots being alot more better then others which is something that was always going to be case given the fact that this is an anthology film with there only being a few plot strands that carry over from each short film with the best plot going to "Deadshot" just because of the fact that it was something that saw Bruce try to deal with the pain of loosing his parents which was interesting to say the least with the plots in this film also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this film is Kevin Conroy as Bruce Wayne / Batman and Jason Marsden as A Cop , A Doctor , Youth 2 and Thomas Wayne. Also starring in this film is Scott Menville as B-Devil and A Cop , George Newbern as Jacob Feely / Man in Black , Guido , A Man and Youth 3 , Corey Padnos as Porkchop , Crystal Scales as Meesh , Alanna Ubach as Dander , Hynden Walch as A Woman , Young Cassandra , Female Campaign Worker and Young Bruce Wayne , Jim Meskimen as James Gordon and Floyd Lawton / Deadshot , Ana Ortiz as Anna Ramirez , Corey Burton as Yuri Dimitrov , Ronald Marshall and Dr. Jonathan Crane / The Scarecrow , Gary Dourdan as Crispus Allen , Jason Marsden as Doctor , Pat Musick as News Anchor , Rob Paulsen as Sal Maroni , Mole Man and Youth 4 , Andrea Romano as The Police Dispatcher and Martha Wayne , Will Friedle as Anton , A Cultist and Youth 1 , Kevin Michael Richardson as Lucius Fox ,  Avery , A Wounded Man and Bulky Man , Brian George as O'Fallon , Arman and A Scruffy Man , Parminder Nagra as Cassandra and David McCallum as Alfred Pennyworth.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. Which given just who is starring in this film and the fact that alot of this films actors are not only voice acting legends in there own but in the case of Kevin Conroy is well known for playing Batman that he could play the character in his sleep if he really wanted to with alot of this films other actors also having major roles in other Dc Animated projects and while this might sound like a cliche thing to say at this point in time but the actor in this whole film is quite easily Kevin Conroy as Bruce Wayne / Batman as the man just simply is Batman so much so that he is who many people hear when they read the Batman comic books and it's who they think of when they think of Batman as he's just that good and while his young Bruce Wayne voice does sound a little bit weird just because of the fact that it doesn't sound as youthful as the character design makes him look the performance on the whole is really good with the same thing also being true for alot of this films actors as well as they all turn in some really good performance in this film with the acting that's in this very film really being helped by the fact that the scripts for this film are just so good that all this films actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film.


Doing the animation for this film is Studio 4°C , the legends and the greats that are currently over at Production I.G , Bee Train and Madhouse. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad with this films animation really being a whole lot more better then what it really had any right to be as by all rights the animation to standalone Batman anthology film that is basically a tie in for The Dark Knight really should have that good animation to it and yet for the most part this film has a exactly that with all of the films shorts having some really well done animation with the only real issue when it comes to the animation being the fact that during the two Madhouse produced segments all of the characters have alot of shadows on them which is very distracting and seems to be there style as they did the exact same thing in one of the Marvel anime films that they worked on and it didn't work then and it doesn't work now and while the Production I.G segment "Crossfire" does look really good it's not there best work not that it's bad because it's not it's just that they've done better animation in other films but when they get it right in this film they really do get it right as the action scene in that segment really does come alive thanks to the animation with the animation in this film as a whole having alot of detail in the backgrounds that anime is known for so much so that it feels like that you can read any of the signs that are in the backgrounds of this film as that's just how detailed this films backgrounds are alot of the time.


As was mentioned at the very start of this review this film is set inbetween the events of Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. With this film openly referencing the events of Batman Begins in the segments "Crossfire" and "In Darkness Dwells" the latter of which was actually written by the co-writer of the entire Dark Knight trilogy David S. Goyer but even so this film doesn't really tie into The Dark Knight as nothing that this film does or that happens in this film is mentioned at all in The Dark Knight it would there for be truly understandable if alot of people just straight up didn't know that this film is meant to be in the same world as the Christopher Nolan films and heck none of the designs for Batman match up with how the character looks in those films with the closest one being in "Field Test" which even then isn't exactly how the Batsuit looked in either Batman Begins or The Dark Knight for that matter but this film does carry the same realistic approach to the characters and to the world of Batman and the same tone of those films only now it's done in animation and that's really it and yet given the fact that one of the shorts was written by the co-writer of the Christopher Nolan Batman movies you'd think that he at the very least would make sure that the film connects to The Dark Knight and have more then just a reference to the finale in Batman Begins but nope and heck even having a character from those films come in would have been more then enough to tie the films together but we don't even get that which then makes this film feel like the black sheep of the family when compared to the rest of the Christopher Nolan Batman films.

Out of all six segments here in this film the best one overall is quite easily the last one "Deadshot" as it not only gives you a good villain in Deadshot but it also sees Bruce Wayne trying to come to terms with the death of his parents. Which is always going to make for a good segment as it does allow to do a deep character study on the character the issue is tho is that this film doesn't do that at all not only during that short film but in any of the others either which would be fine if they did that in the main live action films but they don't do it there either which is odd as that is something that does lead to some really good scenes when it's done well if you want proof of that watch Batman: Mask Of The Phantasm as that film has a scene where Bruce breaks down at his parents grave telling them that he might be able to continue to do his promise for them because he's happy and that is something that this film could have done as well as that Batman in these Christopher Nolan films really hasn't had the time to take stock and look at what it is that's making him happy and that is something that this film could have die either in "Deadshot" or "Working Through Pain" either on of those shorts would worked really well as they both feature flashbacks to a younger Bruce Wayne and seeing Bruce reflect on those moments could have caused him to wonder if he can continue on being Batman because he's found someone or something that does make him truly happy in the first place and yet by not doing that it makes the character of Bruce Wayne feel like a two dimensional character as he doesn't have those moments where he can reflect even if it's private on the death of his parents when that is something that a character like this one should have done in this film as this film does have two segments that would allow him to do so.


This film is made of six segments with not all of them being that good and even the film the first segment "Have I Got A Story For You" basically uses the exact same idea from an episode of Batman: the Animated Series. AS in that show there was an episode titled "Almost Got 'Im" which has a very similar set up to this films first segment where as instead of four kids each telling how they met Batman that day it's four of the dark knights foes each saying how they almost caught him and where is in the kids stories Batman's design changes depending on which kid is telling the story in "Almost Got 'Im" the design stays the exact same and that's really it which makes that whole first segment feel pointless as it's story that we've seen been played out before in a much more better piece of media and while the ending itself is also changed as instead of it being Batman tracking down this one recurring villain in "Almost Got 'Im" it's about Batman trying to find and rescue Catwoman an while the rest of the film isn't made up of stories that have been told more better in Batman: The Animated Series it is odd that the film does contain a story that was done alot more better in that show and part of that might be cause of the fact that the shows version of the story had a longer running time then what this segment had and because of that this type of story could have was told in much more better way then what it was done in this film with the rest of this film being made up of wholly original stories with one of the more unique ones being "Crossfire" as it's very rare that we get to see a Batman story told from the point of view of the police and having one of the police be distrusting of the caped crusader does make sense given that Batman has only just arrived on the scene.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and fifteen minuets and fifty nine seconds. Which is pretty much the exact grand total running time for alot of these direct to DVD Batman films with the film really having the right amount of stories there needed to cover that running time but at the same time this is a film that really could have been a bit more longer n certain segments as alot of the films segments just end when they feel like that there just getting going with a prime example of this being both "Crossfire" and "Working Through Pain" as both the stories just end right when there picking up steam thus making there ending feel unnatural and out of place and while the rest of the film does have the same problem for alot of it's stories it's those two segments where you really do notice it as the plot of each segment does suffer because of it were as with say "In Darkness Dwells" you can kind of forgive it for just ending because the very next segment is a direct continuation of it and yet that one just ends with none of the films plots really getting the time that they really did need to be fully developed plots and as a result of that is the fact that while alot of this films plots could have been some really interesting Batman stories in their own right none of them are given the time to do so because of the fact that they have to rush along to get to the next plot beat when lasting alot more longer would have helped this film out in the long run but I really will admit that this film really does have some really good pacing to it tho.



So now then as this is a action film that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. As alot of of this films segments do have some really good action in them with it being hard to say which one has the best action scene in it as that all depends on the segment because if your looking for a more realistic type of action scene then "Have I Got A Story To Tell You" has that but if your looking for something that's more inline with Batman Begins then "Crossfire" has that with it being that segment that does have the best action scene in the whole movie as it's just Batman fighting Deadshot on top of a moving train with what makes it good being the fact that we have to see Batman try to use his wits to outwit Deadshot as if he takes his eyes of him for a second then he could get knocked of the train or worse when is something that does add to the tension of the scene and seeing Batman just beat up Deadshot almost to the point of the death but the struggle not to deliver the killing blow does remind us of the very narrow line that the character tows as if he goes that one step to far in any action scene then he's no better then the villains that he fights with it being helped by the fact that its in that action scene where the animation for that segment looks it's best and where the characters having alot of distracting shadows on them does make sense given that there fighting in a tunnel which is something that does help to sell you on just how good the action in not only that segment but the film as a whole really is in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this wasn't a bad anthology film as it was great to see this classic character be seen through the airs of various anime studios for the first time but at the same time tho whole main selling point of this film was to see how it connects to The Dark Knight and that is some where where this film fails as to be put bluntly it doesn't connect to the The Dark Knight at all which makes this film feel pointless in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad ting that are in this very film in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very film really does ern itself a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 out 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and a swell as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Batman fandom wiki page , IMP Awards . Com and google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very film that I used in this very review being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very film with alot of them being better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Batman: Caped Crusader SPOILER FILLED Review


It's safe to say that when it was first announced that when one of the masterminds behind Batman: The Animated Series was returning to work on another animated series for The Dark Knight that alot of people were really excited. Even more so when it turns out that this show was intended to be the spiritual successor to Batman: The Animated Series and well the new show is finally here and you all just knew that I had to check this show out the very first chance that I got and so then join me as I give you my spoiler filled review of the show that sees Batman take on foes in the nineteen forties with the show in question being called simply just "Batman: Caped Crusader" enjoy.

The plot of this show is when Batman makes a mistake during one of his cases a chain reaction happens all throughout the underworld of Gotham City one that will see batman pushed to his very limits. Now then interms of what I personally thought  felt about thew actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I inn all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad as it is a plot that does allow for a more serialized story but at the same time also act as an anthology series as well with reach episode only being very loosely connected to one another and still have certain story elements to pass over over from one episode to another something which does make this show standout from alot of the other Batman animated TV shows out there and it's something that does work in the context of this show asl well with the plot of this show also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this show is Hamish Linklater as Bruce Wayne / Batman , Diedrich Bader as Harvey Dent and Krystal Joy Brown as Barbara Gordon. Also starring in this show is Jamie Chung as Harleen Quinzel / Harley Quinn , Minnie Driver as Oswalda Cobblepot / The Penguin , Christina Ricci as Selina Kyle / Catwoman , Eric Morgan Stuart as James Gordon , Jason Watkins as Alfred Pennyworth , Dan Donohue as Basil Karlo / Clayface , Tom Kenny as Joseph Rigger / Firebug , Toby Stephens as James Craddock / Gentleman Ghost , Mckenna Grace as Natalia Knight / Nocturna , Reid Scott as Onomatopoeia , Michelle C. Bonilla as Renée Montoya , Bumper Robinson as Lucius Fox , Gary Anthony Williams as Arnold Flass and Iggy , Haley Joel Osment as Anton Knight , John DiMaggio as Harvey Bullock , Jerry and Wilford Lee and Cedric Yarbrough as Rupert Thorne.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad. With all of the actors that you expect a good performance from really delivering on the acting side of things but at the same time the acting from certain actors like Jamie Chung and Jason Watkins to name but a few not really being that good not that there bad on there own right because there not but when you have them acting against other actors that we know can really turn in a good performance there performance comes of as being the weaker of the performances with the acting that's in this show really being helped by the script for this show show which is just so good that all this shows cast have to do is just say the lines as they are written as good performance will come out them naturally which is something that really does help the overall quality of the acting that's in this very show.


Doing the animation for this show is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Studio IAM and Studio Grida. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty really good with the show having some really good looking 2D animation that does look like that it came right out of the nineteen forties but at the same time this show does make more use of 3D CGI that does stand out a mile as it's something that does look really bad and it's something that Batman: The Animation Series never did as they knew that it really would clash with ere art style and it's same thing here as having 3D CGI even if it's just used for backgrounds does standout a mile ad it's something that really does take you out of any given episode of the show and while the shows 2D animation does indeed look really good with all of the characters having really some decent designs that some people might disagree with and other may like the character designs the characters do also have some really nice fluid movements to them as well.

SPOILERS START HERE!!!!!!!!!!!



Believe it or not this show was subject to two very minor controversies before it premiered the first one of which was the fact that they changed Harley Quinn to an Indian American and the second of which was the fact that the show features a gender swapped version of The Penguin. Well after watching all ten episodes those issues aren't an issue as both characters are handled really well and while yes Oswalda Cobblepot / The Penguin is the better of the two villains simply because of the fact that she's the more fun villain this new version of Harley Quinn is quite creepy with there being  role reversal in Harley's personality as her super villain self is usually portrayed as being more cartoony and funny with her civilian self being the more serious of the two where as with this is show it's the opposite that's true and while there will always be a soft side for the original Harley Quinn this new version of the character does come across as being quite creepy at times and while she only appears in full on Harley Quinn costume for one episode the character does appear in a first few episodes which made her fall in episode five all the more dramatic.

One of the very things that this show does get wrong is the relationship between Bruce Wayne and Alfred. As Alfred and Bruce should always be characters who are close to each other as afterall Alfred was the one who raised Bruce up after the death of his parents and yet in this show Bruce acts really cold to Alfred even just calling him Pennyworth all the time which is something that the character wouldn't do as he views Alfred as being his father figure and the one person that he really trusts the most in Gotham and yet in this show he basically treats him as if he's stranger even referring to him as the help in one episode which is something that just doesn't sit right as it's not in his character to do so this is something that wouldn't be an issue if Bruce had a story arc where he learns to be closer to Alfred over the course of these first ten episodes but he doesn't and as a result of that is the fact that we get a relationship that is fundamentally broken when in not only Batman: The Animated Series but in alot of other Batman media it wasn't broken as all you have to is use some logic and that's really all there is to it and while yes Bruce does finally call him Alfred at the end of the shows tenth episode by then it's something that's to little to late and it's nothing really something that feels earned and more like something that the makers of the show felt like that had to do.


The main storyline in this first batch of episodes revolves around Harvey Dent's descent into madness eventually ending up with him becoming Two-Face at the end of the show's eighth episode. While this plot line was done alot better in Batman: The Animated Series as the writing in that show was alot better then the writing that's in this show it is still something that's done really well and it is something that shows that the makers of this show really do fully understand these characters and this world even on the most basic of levels and because of that is the fact that even tho his storyline in this first batch of episodes isn't given alot of focus as it is something that really only appears in a handful episodes and even then acts more as a B plot to the episode it is still a storyline that's rather effective and works really well but it is something that should have been given alot more of s focus instead of it just being the B plot to most episodes which really is a bit of an issue considering the fact that his storyline forms the basis of the shows final three episodes and yet because of how little care and attention that's it's gotten it feels really more of an after thought.

Now then this first batch of episodes has / had an exact grand total running time of no longer then twenty seven minuets. With each episode having a running time of roughly anywhere between twenty four to twenty six minuets of running time which is something that really does work well for this first batch of episodes as the show doesn't really have alot of there interms of plot and while they do tease a big villain for season two this first batch of episodes spends alot of it's running time in giving us information about the characters ad about this new version of Gotham City and even in setting up things that don't pay off until the shows final few episodes but because you don' really notice them as there done in a way that feels natural and organic you don't really pay attention to them which is something that does work well enough in this shows favor but at the same time tho alot of the running time could have been spent on developing the relationship between Bruce and Alfred as that is something that is key to the Batman character and yet because there's no time dedicated to there relationship it doesn't feel earned when Bruce does finally call him Alfred at the end of the shows tenth episode but I will admit that all of these episodes really do have some really good pacing to them tho.


So now then as this is ah action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad. As it is something that does place into the whole nineteen forties aspect of the show but at the same time then action that's in this shoe isn't as good as it really could have been either with alot of it just coming across as being rather dull and boring alot of the time and yet when the action does get intense and exciting it's more often then not the best action of the whole entire show with the best example of this being the action at the end of the episode as it's Batman taking on The Penguin and her goons on top of a cruise ship with The Penguin trying to launch this missile at the Gotham City Police Department which is a simple thing but it's effective as it ends tension and it adds stakes to the scene instead of just being an action just for the sake of there being an action scene in the episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

SPOILERS END HERE!!!!!!!!!!!


Overall this is a show that while it isn't as good as Batman: The Animated Series was it is still a really good show and one that has all of the potential there to be a really good show if the show can stick the landing whenever it's second batch of episodes does eventually end up being released in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very show in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very show really does earn itself a gran old score of exactly an 8 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all pf the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all pf the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Batman: Caped Crusader fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very batch of episodes that I used in this very review being the really great the official Batman: Caped Crusader fandom wiki page simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very batch of episodes and are really of course on the official Batman: Caped Crusader fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and really as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Batman "The Last Laugh" Review


The Batman character has been in alot of animated shows and movies for many decades with Batman: The Animated Series being without a shadow of a doubt his most famous animated outing. With the caped crusader due to return in animated form this Thursday in Amazon Primes Batman: Caped Crusader now was the absolutely right time to take another look at an episode from this truly wonderful show and so then join me as I review that see's Alfred fight for his sanity with the episode in question being called simply just "The Last Laugh" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when The Joker gases most of Gotham in his Joker gas it's up to Batman to stop the clown prince of crime before it's far to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad but that's also the problem as the plot of this episode wasn't all that good either with the plot of this episode being best described as being OK at best which is of no fault of the makers of show as there's no way that you could make a plot this ridiculous that good and to this episodes credit it knows that it's not a good episode and really leans into it but at the same from this show you do expect better plots and not plots that feel like that they belong im a show that's made with little kids in mind with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is voice acting legend Kevin Conroy as Bruce Wayne / Batman and Star Wars and voice acting legend Mark Hamill as Joker. Also starring in this episode is Efrem Zimbalist Jr. as Alfred Pennyworth , Bob Hastings as A Driver and Joker's Unnamed Henchman , Mari Devon as Summer Gleeson Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles legend Pat Fraley as Jest and Richard Moll as The Batcomputer.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. Which is something that really isn't new for this show as this show has always had some really good acting in it but at the same time the acting that's in this episode isn't really as good as the acting that's in other episodes from this show as while yes the actors that are in this episode do indeed turn in some solid performances they don't turn as good of a performance that we the audience really know that they can do and the episode does suffer because of it of how OK at best that this episodes acting really is with the acting not really being helped by the episodes script as this episodes script really doesn't give the actors in this episode alot of work with interms of what it is that there respective characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which is something that really does hurt the overall quality of the acting that's in this episode.


Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Akom Production CO.. Now then interms of what I personally thought  felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us un this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good and was more then up to the already high standard of animation that this show already has with this episodes animation being one of the best things about this episode as that's just how good this episodes animation is with the episode having some really good looking backgrounds that really do look like a piece of art as they look that really good with all of the characters in this episode also having some really good looking and fluid movements to them as well and as a result of that is the fact that the animation in this episode really does look like that it belongs in a feature length film as it looks really that good and more then holds up all of these later and is better then alot of modern animation that we get in TV shows today.


This episode straight up does a plot line that was copied poorly by the dreadful Batman & Robin as in this episode Alfred accidently gets hit with some of The Joker's gas and the Batman has to save him. Where as in Batman & Robin Alfred just so happens to have the same illness that killed Mr. Freezes wife and Batman has to save him before he dies this plot line is done so much better in this episode as it's something that's done completely by accident as there's no way that The Joker would have known that Alfred was there cleaning in the first place when he just could have been going after Bruce Wayne where in Batman & Robin it feels a bit contrived that Alfred just so happens to have this illness that was never mentioned nor even hinted at before now and it just so happens to be the exact same one that that films villain's wife had which just seems to much like a coincidence where as here it does seem like a genuine accident and where as this film mostly plays it laughs which does work for this episode Batman & Robin has it tie into the fact that Alfred is a father figure to Bruce Wayne which is a solid way to do a plot line like this.

This is more of a light hearted episode which does make sense given that the main theme of this episode is Batman learning to take a joke and smile and the fact that this episode is set on April Fools Day. With this episode really taking full advantage of the fact that it's more of a lighthearted episode with both Bruce and Alfred cracking jokes at points in the episode and while this does make alot of sense given when this episode is set it does feel out of place as while out of this episode and the christmas themed episode "Christmas With The Joker" this one was the first one to make it to air and while having a more lighthearted episode like this one does indeed work given that this was still very early on in the shows run given that it was the fourteenth episode to be produced and fifteenth episode to air it does seem odd that the makers of this show would go for a more lighter episode when they still have forty other episodes to make up it's first season and as a result of that is the fact that this episode should have been further on down in the airing order just to allow this version of the caped crusader to become more fully established and while the episode does have some decent jokes in it with Batman smiling at the thought of killing off The Joker for good being a painfully funny joke it's still something that doesn't really save this episode.


The Joker in this episode really was the true star of this episode as he rather rightfully does have a funny crime that is only funny to him. With the idea of making everyone laugh until there driven insane is only something thar he would do and it's only something that only he would find funny and because of that is the fact that he does come across as being all the more creepy because of it as now he has this weapon that has no known cure to it and is just there just to give him a laugh and to cause who ever he is using it on pain and misery with this episode really being helped by the fact that The Joker doesn't have an end goal and while this would usually be a bad thing in this episode and for this character it is something that really does work as in "The Dark Knight" The Joker himself states that he's just a dog chasing a car he and that he wouldn't know what to di if he caught it and it's the same thing here as really all he's doing is causing chaos really just for the sake of causing chaos and while yes there is something about the stock market going down the drain because of The Joker's action while The Joker himself really does nothing with that knowledge as he really just stands there and smiles as chaos unfolds on the streets of Gotham and all around him.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty two minuets and thirty one seconds. Which is pretty much the bogstandard running time for this show and to this episodes credit this episode really does have the right amount of plot to really cover that amount of running time and while this episode doesn't take as full advantage of that running time as we don't get to see how Alfred getting infected with the laughing gas affects Bruce Wayne which would have been interesting to see which is something that Batman & Robin really does get quite alot of credit for doing it is understandable why they didn't go down that route in this episode as the episode doesn't have alot there interms of running time in the first place and as a result of that is really something like showing Bruce Wayne react in someway to the possibility of losing his father figure really wouldn't be included in the final cut of the episode as it adds nothing to the overall plot of the episode and would have felt like filler in the grand scheme of things and yet by removing a scene like that the episode also oddly feels incomplete like there's just something missing that really would have made the episode feel better then what it actually was but I will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.


So now then as this is an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. However that's also the problem as this action that's in this episode isn't all that good either with this mainly due to the fact that the episode is alot more light hearted in more lighter in tone and as result of that is the fact that the episode really can't deliver all of the top notch action that the show really does usually deliver with the only tense moment in this episode action wise being one Batman swings over some fire to get to The Joker on the other side side and that's really it and while there are some good fights in this episode that all just lack that extra something that keeps them from being truly great fight scenes with them coming across as being rather watered down action scenes due to the episode more lighter tone and not something that's consistent with the rest of the show in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Overall while this isn't the shows best episode mostly due to the episode more lighter tone it does also have some really good aspects going for it like The Joker being really true to his character for example but those good things don't stop the episode from being nothing more then a really average episode at best in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode that are in this very episode and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in his very review from the official Batman: Caped Crusader fandom wiki page , the official Batman: The Animated Series fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from these very episodes that I used in this very review being the really great the official Batman: The Animated Series fandom wiki page simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from these very episodes and are really of course on the official Batman: The Animated Series fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Batman "Heart Of Ice" Review


It's safe to say that out of all of the animated series that have been released Batman: The Animated Series is easily one of the best superhero animated TV shows out there. With the show not only giving us great adaptations of classic villains but also giving us new characters that would go on to become fan favorite characters with the episode that i'm about to review for you all today being a good example of the show bringing back a classic character in a way that is not only new and different but also completely and utterly heartbreaking as well and as so then join me as I review the episode that sees the series debut of Mr. Freeze with the episode in question being called simply just "Batman "Heart Of Ice" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when a bunch of laboratories are being targeted all over Gotham it's up to Batman to find out who is committing these crimes and stop them once and for all. Now then then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad with the plot of the episode being somewhat of a dark horse as it presents itself as being a very cut and dry type of episode but then the longer the episode goes on the more that it becomes clear that the plot isn't as black and white as we first made it out to be with the plot of the episode at first sounding like that these laboratories are being attacked for no reason but then as the episode goes on we find out that not only is there a deeply tragic reason for these attacks but also who we think is the villain may not be the actual villain at all with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Kevin Conroy as Bruce Wayne / Batman and Efrem Zimbalist Jr. as Alfred Pennyworth. Also starring in this episode is Michael Ansara as Victor Fries / Mister Freeze , The Munsters' Revenge and The Superman/Aquaman Hour Of Adventure star Bob Hastings as A Police Officer , Mari Devon as Summer Gleeson and Star Wars star and voice acting legend Mark Hamill as Ferris Boyle.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in al honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With all of this episodes cast turning in some really good performances which really isn't all that surprising as this episodes cast are a bunch of really good actors and while Kevin Conroy would usually be the true standout actor in any given episode of this show in this episode that honor really does go to Michael Ansara was really does nail it as Mister Freeze with him being able to make the character sound both cold and emotionless when needed to do but when he's Victor Fries we get a sense of how warm and caring he was as a person and all of that comes from how great Michael Ansara well and truly is in this episode with the acting in this episode really being helped by the fact that the script for this episode is just so good that all the episodes cast have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which in turn really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.


Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Spectrum Animation. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I8 in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good with the characters having some really nice and fluid movements to them but what really does sell the animation in this episode is the fact that the backgrounds in this episode just look fantastic with alot of them looking like works of art as that's how good they look and the fact that an episode of this show has some good animation to it is really nothing new as this show always has some really good animation to it with this episode not really being any different with even the characters facial expressions looking really good as thats how good the animation really is in this episode.


This is the episode that gave Mister Freeze his now iconic and quite frankly rather tragic backstory with it being revealed in this episode that he's only doing evil things to try and find a cure for his wife. Which makes everything that he does in the rest of the series ad the movies all the more tragic as it comes not from a place of hatred and greed but from a place of love and compassion with hi only seeking revenge on the person that stopping his experiments because that person shoved him into a bunch of chemicals turning him into the person that he is now and as a result of that is the fact that this episode does also technically have two different villains one being Mister Freeze and the other being Ferris Boyle a business man who when in the public pretends that he's all for the people but when he's behind closed doors he's a cruel and evil person who's only looking out for himself whereas with Mister Freeze it's the opposite that's true as he's evil when he's out in public and he's a kinder and more softer person behind when he's behind closed doors.

Out of all of the shows many episodes this is the first one that got nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing In An Animated Program. With this episode deserving that award as it is a really well written as from a writing perspective it really does make you care for the villain and gives you a twist that not only makes you see the villain in a whole light but also makes alot of sense interms of episode as we see from an earlier scenes that Ferris Boyle isn't a good person when he's not a good person and the very first scene that we get with Mister Freeze we see that he really does care about his wife as he's seen just talking about how he wants to be with her again and lamenting the fact that he can't be with her due to her illness and while it could be argued that this puts us one step behind Batman interms of what he knows about who is committing these crimes it could also be argued that that's really the point as we the audience are meant to see Mister Freeze as a villain at that point and having Batman believe that he is the villain until the very last moment is a great way to get that done and still keep the surprise reveal that he's technically not the villain of the episode as a surprise and while it would be nice if we the audience would really still be on the same level interms of what he's knows about the episode it would also run the risk of making that really great surprise and plot twist come out of nowhere as well.


One of the big issues that this episodes is the fact that for a Batman story Batman himself doesn't really appear all that much in the episode. With oddly enough Mister Freeze getting more of the episodes screen time which does make sense as he is meant to be the main character of this episode and this episodes story but at the same time you don't want to tune into an episode of Batman and have Batman himself only appear in a small handful of scenes and while yes Batman does have an impact of the plot as it's thanks to him that we get to see Freeze's new origin story but at the same time that also makes Batman feel alot more like a character that's just there to give out exposition and not really add anything to the plot of the episode as that's all he does in this episode he just dumps information after information when he really doesn't need to and while this does rightfully make Batman feel like a side character in his own show there should have been a better way to do all of that and still have him act as a main character akin to Mister Freeze and heck even the episodes actual main villain Ferris Boyle doesn't get alot of screen time in the grand scheme of things and as a result of that is the fact his character really isn't as fully developed as he really should have been.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty two minuets and thirty four seconds. Which is pretty much the bogstandard running time for this show to have and to this episodes credit it really does make the most of it's running time with alot of the episodes scenes being about either advancing the plot of the episode or setting up things that will be payed of in the episodes final act with the fact that Bruce Wayne develops a cold at the start of the episode only to have that come back in the episodes climax being a very good example of that and while the episode really would have benefitted from being a movie as there really is more then enough plot to there to be a movie just as there's more enough plot here to really cover it's running time as it really is if it was a movie tho then it would have allowed a much more wider audience to view this new take on Mister Freeze instead of it just being a few people but I will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.


So now then as this is an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual episode that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. As while the action is the episodes more weaker aspects this is only due to the fact that there's only so much that you can do with Mister Freeze action wise and as a result of that is the fact that we get action scenes that whilst they are very visually pleasing they aren't as exciting as they really could have been as all they are is batman trying not to get by Mister Freeze's freeze ray and that's really it and while that's fine for one or two action scenes when that's every action scene tho that's when they start to get dully boring this is despite the fact that the animation in this episode really do help the action look as good as they could have done in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall while this episode is as tragic and as beautiful as you'd want it to be and is quite easily one of the best episodes in this shows history it's still an episode that has alot of room for improvement this is despite the fact that the episode really does gave alot of things going for it as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now the i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that re in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really foes earn itself a grand old score of exactly an 8.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official batman: Te Animated Series fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from these very episodes that I used in this very review being the really great the official Batman: The Animated Series fandom wiki page simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from these very episodes and are really of course on the official Batman: The Animated Series fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.
