Ep. 214 - Elseworlds - The Batman - A Matter Of Family

Week Three of the Good Brothers Boy Wonder-Themed trip through the DC Animated Multiverse stops in the world of 2004's The Batman Season 4 where they review "A Matter of Family." People familiar with Dick Grayson's origin may find this to be a bit of old hat, but the hosts discuss the unique nature that this telling of the untold story of Robin and how he came to be in comparison to other iterations. Cal and Liam discuss the animation revamp for season 4 of the show, Robin's costume design and how the death of the Flying Grayson's echoes a Hitchcock storytelling device. Of course the hosts talk about a pair of very notable and familiar voices playing new roles for this series and music that creates tension for one of the hardest scenes to pull off in a children's show. All of this and a preview for this week's exciting fan-vote that will determine the final Elseworlds episode of the month and much more on this week's DCAU Review!
