Our hosts return to the podcave, dust off their spurs, and ride into the Wild West as they review the episode, “Showdown.” Alex and Will dive into the animated debut of legendary DC antihero Jonah Hex, discovering his questionable past as a Confederate soldier -- which is quite the departure from his comic book origins. But, in a surprising twist, the mostly liberal person in 1883 was Ra’s Al Ghul. He stands up against the mistreatment of his labourers and tries to free his small frontier community from a corrupt government railroad takeover. Wild, Wild West, anyone?They also discuss Ra's catatonic son who probably died on the plane journey home and the premier episode of his history podcast titled, "I Was There!"Saddle up for another spirited episode filled with time travel, antiheroes, and just the right amount of absurdity.Tip Jar: https://buymeacoffee.com/batmantaspodJoin Our Discord - https://discord.com/invite/bQF76V3nUsOutbreaks Vol. 1 Launch Page - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/speechcomics/outbreaks-volume-1-an-ongoing-zombie-anthology-series?ref=discovery&term=outbreaks&total_hits=1475&category_id=252Follow us on TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@batmantaspod?_t=8zn1yhsgnfz&_r=1Follow us on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@batmantaspodFollow the Pod on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/batmantaspod/Follow the Pod on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/BatmanTASPod/Follow the Pod on Twitter - https://twitter.com/batmantaspod1Subscribe to Will's Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/willrobsonSpeech Comics Website - https://www.speechcomics.com/Monster Mash 1-2 Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/speechcomics/mobster-mash-1-2-classic-movie-monsters-as-mobstersWill's WhatNot Page - https://www.whatnot.com/user/speechcomics

The Lion and the Unicorn Review
Our hosts return to the podcave -- only to find themselves transported back to foggy ol’ London, as they sit down to review The Lion and the Unicorn. Alex and Will try to figure out what century this version of London is supposed to be set in, while picking up some colourful British slang along the way, such as: “old love,” “stone the crows,” and “a pair of poxy ghosts!”They also come to the conclusion that British Intelligence might be just as useless as the Gotham Police, by letting Batman and Robin just get on with it. Plus, they speculate that Alfie and Freddie’s “usual place” sounds suspiciously like code for a dogging site, and wonder how Red Claw hasn’t figured out that tying men to chairs and slapping them for info is... well, something people pay for!Tip Jar: https://buymeacoffee.com/batmantaspodJoin Our Discord - https://discord.com/invite/bQF76V3nUsOutbreaks Vol. 1 Launch Page - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/speechcomics/outbreaks-volume-1-an-ongoing-zombie-anthology-series?ref=discovery&term=outbreaks&total_hits=1475&category_id=252Follow us on TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@batmantaspod?_t=8zn1yhsgnfz&_r=1Follow us on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@batmantaspodFollow the Pod on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/batmantaspod/Follow the Pod on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/BatmanTASPod/Follow the Pod on Twitter - https://twitter.com/batmantaspod1Subscribe to Will's Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/willrobsonSpeech Comics Website - https://www.speechcomics.com/Monster Mash 1-2 Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/speechcomics/mobster-mash-1-2-classic-movie-monsters-as-mobstersWill's WhatNot Page - https://www.whatnot.com/user/speechcomics

Baby-Doll Review
Our hosts return to the podcave and sit down to review possibly the most hauntingly human episode of BTAS, Baby-Doll. Alex and Will dive into Baby-Doll’s first appearance, unpacking the inspiration behind Paul Dini’s creation of the character and why her tragic story still hits hard.Of course, it wouldn’t be a review without a few classic Gotham oddities. Such as an unexpectedly lethal, karate-kicking henchman, or Robin’s strange slogans as an amateur TV critic. Plus, a fairground in Gotham that isn't condemned or crawling with Joker gas, and how Batman nearly got capped in a jungle gym.And if you don’t like what Alex and Will have to say about it... well, just remember, "we didn’t mean to..."Tip Jar: https://buymeacoffee.com/batmantaspodJoin Our Discord - https://discord.com/invite/bQF76V3nUsOutbreaks Vol. 1 Launch Page - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/speechcomics/outbreaks-volume-1-an-ongoing-zombie-anthology-series?ref=discovery&term=outbreaks&total_hits=1475&category_id=252Follow us on TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@batmantaspod?_t=8zn1yhsgnfz&_r=1Follow us on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@batmantaspodFollow the Pod on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/batmantaspod/Follow the Pod on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/BatmanTASPod/Follow the Pod on Twitter - https://twitter.com/batmantaspod1Subscribe to Will's Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/willrobsonSpeech Comics Website - https://www.speechcomics.com/Will's WhatNot Page - https://www.whatnot.com/user/speechcomics

Bane Review
Our hosts return to the Podcave and get yoked as they dive into the animated debut of Gotham’s most venomous villain—Bane! Alex and Will break down the lethal luchador’s first appearance outside the comics, noting how the muscle-bound menace had been in publication for only a year before making the leap to TV.They also imagine what would happen if he launched his own line of protein powders and how a certain butler gets hooked on them and becomes a "bro". Plus, Robin throws down in a sibling-style squabble in the pool, and Batman makes a questionable moral call, leaving Candice at the mercy of a well-known dangerous gangster.Flex your podcast-listening muscles and join us for a pump-up session of Bat-history, animated analysis, and some seriously swole speculation!Tip Jar: https://buymeacoffee.com/batmantaspodJoin Our Discord - https://discord.com/invite/bQF76V3nUsOutbreaks Vol. 1 Launch Page - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/speechcomics/outbreaks-volume-1-an-ongoing-zombie-anthology-series?ref=discovery&term=outbreaks&total_hits=1475&category_id=252Follow us on TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@batmantaspod?_t=8zn1yhsgnfz&_r=1Follow us on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@batmantaspodFollow the Pod on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/batmantaspod/Follow the Pod on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/BatmanTASPod/Follow the Pod on Twitter - https://twitter.com/batmantaspod1Subscribe to Will's Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/willrobsonSpeech Comics Website - https://www.speechcomics.com/Will's WhatNot Page - https://www.whatnot.com/user/speechcomics

Catwalk Review
Our hosts return to the Podcave to review the episode, Catwalk.Unfortunately, it’s not one that claws its way into their hearts. They both agree that the episode is surprisingly bland and forgettable, falling flat like a plank of wood.Dong Yang lets it "hang" a bit too much in this episode, as they over animate Scarface's expressions, turning him from a puppet into a real boy. Making him less creepy and more cartoonish, which undermines his intimidation.Our hosts also joke about Catwoman's cringe poetry recitals, and her apparent belief that the Tasmanian Tiger is a cat and not a marsupial. Plus, they wonder if the giant log fight between Batman and Rhino was overcompensating for something?
