  1. I wish they would release some version that would include both parts together in the same movie, cutting out the Part 1 credits and the Part 2 opening
  2. I'd say they stopped being kids movies after Columbus left.
  3. If they were to make more of these Bat-Mite Presents though, I would like it if Bat-Mite popped in and made more sarcastic comments, like he did with the Scooby-Doo episode. More like what I said above, a Mystery Science Theater strictly for Batman.
  4. Bat-Mite Presents would be the most kick-ass spin-off show ever, in an awesome Mystery Science Theater kind of way.
  5. Well let me start out by saying I may not be entirely objective about this series since I had ridiculously high expectations due to it being produced by Greg Wiseman who previously worked on The Spectacular Spider-Man before it was canceled (which I may be unfairly holding against this series). Anyway now on to my thoughts: First, I dont like the character portrayals in this series, all the characters seem to have some sort of catchphrase or running gag which feel make the characters feel constricted and frankly, annoying. (Robin: has this weird laughing in every fight scene, Miss Martian: says Hello Megan every time she thinks, Superboy: May have said 2 words in the entire series, other than that hes just screaming for no good reason Kid Flash: and his uncontrollable hormones) I guess this is just part of my Spectacular Spider-Man bias but I just dont feel connected to these characters. I would love to see their high school lives along with their superhero lives, and how their personal problems at school can interfere with their other persona and this would lead to a number of interesting possibilities. I guess some people wouldnt like the high school soap opera aspect but hell, they pulled it off in Spider-Man. I guess the reason I thought the show would include this was because of all the promotional posters "No Curfew", "First Date", Final Exam "Sweet Sixteen" and "Leaving Home" havent seen any of this in the show. Ive also thought the stories to be somewhat weak and disjointed (especially with this The Light group who seem to have every super villain in their employ). I think their just a weak attempt to apply a continuity to these otherwise standalone episodes. Each episode seems to have similar structure: the Young Justice go on a mission, they realize its too dangerous because they cant work together so they decide to contact the League, they cant for whatever reason, so they work out their problem and win. (oh and then theres an crazy twist where it turns out that the villain is reporting to The Light) Like Oh My God I didnt see that coming!
  6. I'm watching the Avatar episodes for the first time and then listening to your reviews. I'm really starting to love this series!
  7. Am I the only one who isn't too impressed with this show? Really the animation is the only reason I continue watching.
  8. I'm very sorry I have to ask, (I'm very behind in WFP) but I'm curious what's the new podcast idea?
  9. I want to show someone the complete DCAU -from On Leather Wings to Epilogue- (I don't count Teen Titans) but I'm having trouble with the watching order. My original thought was in chronological order- (B:TAS) then (S:TAS, Gotham Knights, and the beginning of Static Shock simultaneously) then (JL, JLU, and the end of Static Shock simultaneously) then (Batman Beyond, and The Zeta Project simultaneously) and finally (Epilogue). But Episodes such as Static Shock's Future Shock and JLU's Once and Future Thing pose problems. I could also show it in airing order, but I want to show Epilogue last and by the time we finish JLU I don't think he'll care about Terry anymore, it might also be confusing, I don't know. Well if anyone has any idea's I'd love to hear them. I'd like to stay as chronological as possible with it still making sense. Thanks!
  10. Thank you, I'll be sure to check this out.
  11. I sent an email requesting reviews on Spectacular Spider-Man, a show that is easily as good as those included in the DCAU, but I'm not sure if it was addressed. I know there's been talk in previous episodes of reviewing shows such as The Batman (2004) after WFP so if this happens I hope The Spectacular Spider-Man will be considered.
  12. According to Wikipedia: In the original broadcast version of the Batman: The Animated Series episode "Terror in the Sky", Batman States "The hell it isn't", When Langstrom protests his innocence at willingly becoming the Man-Bat a second time. Later broadcasts and the DVD release were changed to "The devil it isn't". Did anyone see this episode and remember this? My link
  13. Hey, I'm new to the forums and relatively new to the podcast so I’m sorry that I will be posting without having listened to the newer podcasts. Anyway where I am in the podcast James and Mike are getting pissed off at Wikipedia and I just wanted to tell them about this site. I love the DCAU Wiki I use it all the time and I’m glad someone informed listeners and host about this site.
