Our hosts return to the podcave and sit down to review the first solo outing for Harley Quinn in the episode, Harley's Holiday.

Alex and Will discuss the excellent but also cartoony style to the animation for this episode. Comparing character expressions to the likes of Animaniacs or Looney Toons. Plus, was Harley always planning to go back to crime? She did have her costume in her bag whilst out shopping.

Our hosts also take note of Robin's fish spinning skills, Veronica Vreeland's crazy Dad, the Whacky Races style car chase, the origin story of Boxy Bennet's name, and even the ghost of Stan Lee makes an appearance! Excelsi-ahhhhh!

Alex fires up the podcave and is joined by a new member of the pod family to review their top 5 worst & best episodes of Batman the Animated Series.

Editor of the pod, Kade Calvin starts by sharing his least liked eps of BTAS and why they're stinkers. Then switches gears and highlights his top 5 fav episodes and why they stand out more than the others. Is it because they made him cry? Yes...the answer is yes.

You might be surprised by the ones that didn't make his lists, but you'll have to listen to find out why!

Our hosts return to the podcave doubled in enthusiasm to break down the episode, Second Chance.

Alex and Will dive deep into the long-overdue return of a Two-Face-centric story, explaining why the character remains their second fav villain — get it?

They unpack the episode’s noir-laced animation, its unmistakable Hitchcockian vibes, and the strange surgery procedure that raises more questions than answers.

Plus, raunchy tales of Bruce and Harvey’s mysterious nightlife, the moment Robin almost went out Goodfellas style, and how a skylight just became Batman's new enemy.

Oh — and did anyone else think that the surgeon was Leslie Thompkins? Because it's not! But we totally thought so too.

Our hosts return to the podcave to dive deep into the iconic episode, "Riddler's Reform."

They kick things off with high praise for the standout voice acting, spotlighting John Glover's performance as the Riddler — calling it not only his best outing in the role, but the definitive version of the villain across all media.

Plus, this episode doesn’t just deliver cerebral thrills — it's got style. The animation is slick, the tone is moody, and yes, it even brings back the coveted "Two-Face Part 2" rain, setting the perfect noir vibe.

Our hosts also uncover the ultimate "Love That Batman" moment, and note the return of everyone's favourite flirty rogue persona: The Rizzler.

And, does this episode hint at how Batman acquired the giant T-Rex for the Batcave? The clues may be there…

But things get… questionable when Riddler's TV assistant appears with a question mark strategically placed over her crotch! Is this the greatest riddle of them all?

All that and more is answered in a review that's riddled with fun facts, sharp insight, and plenty of laughs!

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.

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!

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..."

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!
