Gotham Animated Episode 38 - Night of the Ninja


The Caped Crusader takes a break from staking out health spas and dousing the inferno of crime with lobster bisque to deal with a ninja! That's right, there's an honest-to-Croc, shuriken-chucking, gas pellet-abusing ninja on the loose. We also get a brief glimpse into Bruce Wayne's training and a very subtle hint at the coming split between Batman and Robin. Also: Is Summer Gleason a love interest or a bird of some kind? This one's a little goofy, folks. (both the episode and our discussion)

Gotham Animated Episode 37 - The Laughing Fish


Bruce Timm and Paul Dini craft the king of Batman-Joker stories in this episode by merging elements from several comic book stories, including the classic issue from which this episode gets its name. Does man own fish? Is the Joker tired of his own gimmicks? Is a Batman a little too good at playing dress-up? Some of these questions will be answered!

Gotham Animated Presents: Lost in the Reels No. 2 - Green Room


Chris B and Abel Z must endure Evan A's movie selection this time around, the 2015 thriller Green Room, written and directed by Jeremy Saulnier and starring the late Anton Yelchin as a punk rocker pitted against a white nationalist drug lord named Darcy played by Patrick Sewart. That's right, this cinematic kill box has a ton of Trek connections, as well as a lot to say about the creeping pandemic of white skinhead hate speech seeping into the back doors of the punk scene. Our discussion runs the gamut from observations and feelings about the film to terrifying tales of bodily harm--we know what scares us, but what makes us wince?

Gotham Animated Episode 36 - Robin's Reckoning Part Two


Dick Grayson was just a boy when his parents were taken from him by a two-bit hood named Tony Zucco. Now Lil' Dickie is Big Dickie and Zucco's about to learn it isn't as easy to push around a grown-ass man. Robin learns the difference between Justice and Revenge on this latest and greatest edition of GOTHAM ANIMATED!

(Editor's Note: We had some laptop issues while recording, so a little piece of the conversation in the last third of the episode was lost. I managed to patch it together as best I could, so if it weren't for us pointing it out in the episode itself, you probably wouldn't have even noticed. Anyhoo, enjoy!)

Gotham Animated Episode 33 - Perchance to Dream


Batman gets a knock on the noggin and wakes up in a world where Bruce Wayne and Selena Kyle are about to be wed, the Waynes are alive and well, and there isn't a Batcave or Boy Wonder in sight. But who's that streaking across the sky? It's Batman! Wait, what? Yet another episode diving into the psyche of the Dark Knight.
