Podcast The Dcau Review

After a brief hiatus, the boys are back in town, picking up right where they left off with Batman: The Animated Series. Can there be such a thing as too much Joker? With his 4th appearance in the first nine episodes of the DCAU Review, Mark Hamill's Joker stars once again in this week's episode, Be A Clown, putting that very question to the test. Cal & Liam discuss the bizarre character design for Mayor Hill's son, whether the lack of soundtrack hurts or helps, more inconsistent animation, and Batman's lines being exclusively puns. Where does this Joker-centric episode rank on the boys' list of all-time greats? Find out on this week's edition of the DCAU Review!

With their largest episode to date, the brothers tackle their first of the DCAU's full-length feature films,  Batman: Mask of The Phantasm. A super-sized episode means lots of time to dissect this highly-esteemed animated classic. Tune in to hear Cal & Liam go over the intricate plot, the choice to use the Joker strictly as a supporting character, and one of the coolest scenes in Batman animation history.

Rolling right through the early days of Batman: The Animated Series, it's episode 7 of The DCAU Review! This week the brothers cover The Forgotten, an episode that tends to end up on the lower end when people rank DCAU episodes, but that holds a dear place in Cal & Liam's hearts. Topics discussed include whether or not the episode is able to effectively say anything on a controversial social issue, another unforgettable soundtrack, Liam's #CapeMovement corner, and a special cameo discussion about Taft from The Tick Animated Series!

It’s a super-sized Episode 6 of The DCAU Review! Cal & Liam discuss a pair of Batman:The Animated Series episodes on opposite ends of the scale when it comes to their scorecards. First up they cover an almost-universally despised episode 6, The Underdwellers. A controversial plot leaves the guys feeling uncomfortable and desperate to clean their palates with another episode. They then jump into covering one of the highest-scoring episodes to date, episode 7 entitled P.O.V. – an homage to the old Max Fleischer Superman cartoons of the 1940s and a story that relies heavily on non-Batman characters.
