Batman the Animated Series Podcast

Our hosts are still trapped in an alternate dimension as they wrap up this surprisingly good two-parter with Legends Part 2. Alex and Will discuss the episode’s big twist and just how messed up it really is. But the more they think about the plot and start asking questions, the more it begins to fall apart… much like little Ray’s illusion! They also ponder an important question: what if Batman had...

They also discover that this universe is suspiciously...

Our hosts return to the Podtower and finish off this “ sick ” two parter with their review of Fury Part 2 . Alex and Will discuss how Aresia’s plan to get rid of all the men in the world is ultimately dooming everyone to extinction, but what to do they know? They’re just a couple of stupid men who host a podcast!  Our hosts also think that Hippolyta completely made up the story about the man savin...

Our hosts return to the Podtower and watch “Fury Part 1” for the very first time. Alex and Will discuss Aresia , a rogue Amazon who’s determined to give every male on the planet the Man Flu . Ironically, Alex is coming down with a cold during this review as well, so that's fun! Aresia teams up with Lex Luthor’s not-so-famous Injustice Gang, which means more Copperhead and The Shade ... yay..Bu...

Our hosts swing into Central City to watch The Brave and the Bold Part 2.

Our hosts head to Central City for their first viewing of “ The Brave and the Bold , Part 1”!

Our hosts leave the DC universe and head to the Marvel universe to watch X-Men ’92’s “Days of Future Past” episodes for the very first time! And since they aren’t eXperts on the show, they thought they’d bring on someone who is! Joining Alex and Will for this review is @irsvoices the voice of Bishop in X-Men ’97. This episode of the Ani-Mates is available to all, but if you’d like to see more of u...

Our hosts take a trip to War World as they watch Gladiator —I mean John Carter —I mean Thor: Ragnarok —I mean War World Part 1 .

Our hosts journey to the Underworld as they continue their watch of Paradise Lost Part 2. Alex and Will discuss the introduction of Hades into the DCAU and wonder (no pun intended) if this version is maybe Wonder Woman's father ?

Our hosts jet off to Paradise Island for this episode as they watch and review Paradise Lost Part 1 .
