Disappearing Inque & A Touch of Curaré

What this episode covers

This week on BATTASS: Beyond we’re back in black, and welcoming a new colorful killer to the universe as we see the return of Inque and the debut of Curare in Disappearing Inque and A Touch of Curare! Per DCAU WIki: “Disappearing Inque” is the eleventh episode of Batman Beyond. It depicts the return of Inque. After being turned down for a raise and fired by his boss at the cryogenics lab, Aaron Herbst becomes disgruntled and releases Inque from her icy prison. Having had to listen to him for months, Inque decides that he’ll make a suitable partner for the time being and uses him to get the mutagenic chemicals she needs to heal herself and assume her human form again. After being healed, Inque captures Batman and tries to lure Bruce into her trap too. Now Inque has both Batmen to deal with. “A Touch of Curaré” is the twelfth episode of Batman Beyond. It depicts the first appearance of the assassin Curaré. Gotham City District Attorney Sam Young has been marked for death by the Society of Assassins, who have sent their best member: Curaré. Now Batman must face off against one of the world’s deadliest fighters. Making things worse, is the fact that Commissioner Barbara Gordon, Young’s wife, isn’t as liberal as her father was when it comes to costumed vigilantes, despite having been one herself. Animation is king in these two episodes, as we get two episodes with solid plots, but fantastic animation work. We get a bit of a look into what happened in the Bat-family in the years between Batman Beyond and The New Batman Adventures, but is it enough? Or maybe it’s too much? It all comes down to personal taste, but I think we can all agree that the idea of Barbara and Bruce as a romantic item is just…gross. So, unfreeze your killer crush, sharpen your molecular blade, and join us on BATTASS: Beyond!
