Oh hey there, person scrolling down their podcast feed. It's us, your favorite Batman jokesters. If you like Batman, The Penguin, or that Batman kid's book with all the noise buttons, you're going to love this episode.
Colin starts us off with some history of one of Batman's greatest villains: The Penguin!
And THEN, Kieran recaps Batman: The Animated Series' "I've Got Batman In My Basement!" How fun.
We talk about Batman's weird history helping children, what writers often get wrong about kid characters, and (of course) how Harvey Bullock's terrible eating habits are ruining his life.

Oh hello again, it us, your 3rd-favorite BTAS podcast. We're back this week recapping part 2 of Batman: The Animated Series' very special TWO-FACE 2-PARTER!
But before we get into the main course, Kieran starts us off with dessert (we are SO bad) and serves up some history of the Dark Knight's tragic half-scarred pal.
Then, we get into the recap, where we dig into the rules of Two-Face's coin flips, Rupert Thorne's obsession with two-themed puns, and Batman's irrational fear of twins.

HEYYYYYY WE'RE BACK, BAT-NERDS!
After a little holiday break (take a listen to our BATMAN RETURNS Recap if you haven't already) we're returning with part one of the very good and fun TWO FACE 2-PARTER!
But don't be hasty, friends, because first, Kieran learns us all about Two-Face's more boring and law-abiding side, ol' Harvey Dent. We discuss Harvey's early history, and give our favorite actors to ever play Gotham's doomed DA.
And after a super-real ad read by Colin, Liam recaps part one of "TWO-FACE"!
Put it into your ears, it's what Batman would want. We also talk about what Harvey Bullock poops probably sound like.

This is so laaaate and it's all Liam's fault. But he's too proud to apologize, so we've suspended him until next Monday. Yr wlcm.
THIS WEEK! We're looking at season 1, episode 8 of Batman: The Animated Series...THE FORGOTTEN! Sorry, another week without a super villain, just a big fat guy who sounds like he always just finished drinking milk.
BUT FIRST! Colin takes us on the journey that is Batman's loyal butler, Alfred Pennyworth (4:00) and Liam reads a few very very real ads (34:00).
THEN! Kieran takes us on a break neck journey of THE FORGOTTEN, a very super fun episode of BTAS (36:00) that shows us Bruce's whimsical closet of disguises, his questionable concern for the homeless, and the long-running storytelling shorthand of fat bad guys.
We also did more Michael Caine impressions than normal, if you're into that.

This week Kieran, Colin, and Liam recap PRETTY POISON, the 5th episode of Batman: The Animated Series.
BUT FIRST! Kieran lays down the storied origins of Poison Ivy (1:48), including telling us how Milton Berle's 'Louie the Lilac' robbed us of an Ivy appearance in the 1960s Batman TV show, and how Ivy connects to the other "green" characters in the DCU.
Then, Liam drops a commercial for the very famous and rich and definitely real WAYNE FOUNDATION (9:30).
THEN!, Colin LEAVES US LIKE A JERK and Kieran continues with a recap of PRETTY POISON (11:30). It's a fun episode. We see the first notable appearances of Renee Montoya and Harvey Dent, discover why Batman has a red hot hate for Moe from the 3 Stooges, and how Bruce Wayne's fashion sense is eerily similar to Dwight Schrute's.
