Our hosts return to the podcave to review “Animal Act," a very average episode of TNBA.

Alex and Will dig into why this marks the final DCAU appearance of the Mad Hatter, and celebrate just how perfect Roddy McDowell was in the role. They discuss Hatter’s ever-evolving mind-control tech and his simple desire to just watch the people of Gotham smash.

Meanwhile, Dick Grayson revisits his circus roots, reflects on his old life, and endures the ultimate insult—being called fat by the Fat Lady.

Our hosts also touch on Batman’s absolute refusal to admit when someone sneaks up on him, Dick’s inexplicable love for Japan (despite never having been), and the crucial revelation that Mad Hatter and Ra's al Ghul are now locked in a fierce rivalry on the amateur rap battle circuit.

Our hosts return to the Podcave to review one of the worst episodes yet: “Cult of the Cat.”

Alex and Will break down Thomas Blake, comparing his comic-book origins to his baffling depiction in the DCAU.

They also come to terms with the fact that this is the last Catwoman episode they’ll ever watch, and wrestle with the contradiction that she might be the best Catwoman ever featured on screen, while somehow still being in some of the worst episodes ever.

Our hosts also imagine what would happen if Alfred interrupted Batman mid–Batcave interrogation, discuss why the Gotham Zoo is a terrible place for a giant genetically altered wild cat, and notice just how much of a blatant creep Thomas Blake really is.

Finally, they ask the most important question of all: does Ra's Al Ghul know about this Egyptian pussy...cat worshiping cult, and what does he think about them stealing his ninja shtick?

Our hosts return to the Podcave for a full-on switcharoo as they check out the Superman: The Animated Series episode, “Knight Time.” When Superman heads to Gotham for a full-on switcharoo as he fills in for a missing Batman.

They break down the bold, Jack Kirby–influenced art deco style of Superman: TAS and how it contrasts with the darker noir aesthetic of The New Batman Adventures. They also highlight the incredible dynamic between Robin and Superman, a team-up that brings heart, humour, and some genuinely great character moments.

Plus, they discover what the “S” really stands for on Supey's chest. Why Superman’s super-hearing suddenly gets really bad inside the bat cowl. Why Bane is talking like a confused caveman to a rizz-less Riddler. And Brainiac tries Killer Croc’s Killer Wings after an endorsement from everyone’s favourite spokesperson, Salmonella!
