Clayface returns! Jordan and Mike slide their way though the second appearance of Matt Hagen and the return of Ron Perlman. It's a gross adventure, and you've got front row tickets to the greatest show on mud.
We venture into yet another episode that we consider among the best. Jordan and Mike take us through "The Man Who Killed Batman" an episode so good and so memorable that we didn't even put our theme song at the top! This is one of the absolute best appearances from the Joker and an episode that will be remembered for decades to come! Enjoy!!

We have to thank, friend-of-the-show and future guest, Larry Brenner for giving us a GREAT jumping off point about the question "Who Is Spider-Man's Archenemy?" THANK YOU LARRY! Larry's got his own podcast that's excellent and you should listen to it! Find it here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/once-upon-a-disney/id1561403598 Maybe Jordan and Mike should do a Spider-Man show...

A top 5 episode (maybe top 3) in the Series. Jordan and Mike take us through both a show and audience favorite, Almost Got 'Im! A master class in the vignette episode with some of our favorite characters from the Rogues' Gallery. Join us for quite a treat of an episode.
Man-Bat Returns! Well... kinda... but also not really. We are reintroduced to the Langstrom family of transforming bat-people. A great return of one of our favorite villains, Jordan and Mike discuss Terror in the Sky.

We venture back into the wonderful world of robot monsters in Heart of Steel Part 2. Jordan and Mike take us through the second part of one of the best two-parters we've covered yet! More robots, more Batman, and more importantly Barbara Gordon beginning the journey that will eventually make her Batgirl.
Jordan and Mike venture into yet another two-parter! This time focused on a 1950s-style B-Movie! Very much a classic science fiction story based off Invasion of the Body Snatchers and The Terminator. We also get the introduction of Barbara Gordon who instantly becomes a show favorite.
It's time to introduce Professor Hugo Strange to BTAS! A legendary villain who many of you may know from the hit video game Arkham City. Hugo Strange gives us an admittedly "strange" episode that plays with the secret identity of Batman. Jordan and Mike discuss their experience with "Dr. Strange" and how he's not the other Dr. Strange.
We've got another adventure with Catwoman! Jordan and Mike tackle another episode featuring the best cat burglar-turned-superhero ever! Is it a good episode? No. But that's not Catwoman's fault. She's awesome.
It's ninja time folks! Jordan and Mike take us through Night of the Ninja. Not our favorite episode, but one that gives us a little window into Bruce Wayne's past.
Jordan and Mike take us through one of the best episodes we've watched so far. It's also the best Joker episode yet! More Harley Quinn, more jokes, more fun! With a few brief cameos from Amanda this is one of the most fun episodes yet.
Jordan and Mike continue Robin's story in Robin's Reckoning Part 2. We get bike slides, flash backs, and Bif Tannen. What more can you ask for?
It's time to get into Robin's backstory. While this podcast hasn't been too kind to the Boy Wonder, we can't help but love everything about this episode. Great flashbacks, great performances, and we get Tom Wilson (Biff Tannen) as Tony Zucco. It's time for a little GREASED LIGHTNING!
It's an episode filled with riddles and traps that... DOESN'T star The Riddler. Batman takes on The Interrogator. Fantastic. A solid episode with some shortcomings as our hosts go on a series of tangents and laugh far too much.
It's time to talk about Jordan's favorite episode. Our hosts agree that this is not only Jordan's favorite episode but easily a top 5 episode of the series. A twisted and dark look into Bruce Wayne's dreams and the life he would have had if tragedy had not struck him. This episode feels most like Twilight Zone Meets Batman as this alternate existence feels so right, but also so terribly wrong.
On this episode we're graced again by the presence of the increasingly powerful Poison Ivy. Jordan and Mike also dive into how special this episode its window into Alfred's life. SPOILER ALERT: There may or may not be spoilers for the television show Lost, in this episode. We're not sure because we didn't watch it, but. We talk about lost a little.
We say goodbye to the Scarecrow as a main villain with his third appearance. Scarecrow will appear in future episodes but Dreams in Darkness is the last time he's the lead. Jordan and Mike discuss the power of fear and how an enemy like Scarecrow is potentially the most dangerous for a hero like Batman.
