Ep. 225 - Batman: The Animated Series - Read My Lips

It's a very exciting month at the DCAU Review as the Good Brothers celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Batman: The Animated Series debuting on TV. Kicking things off for the month the hosts are reviewing an episode that's often in the discussion amongst fans as one of the series' very best with the episode "Read My Lips." Cal & Liam discuss one of the late great Shirley Walker's most memorable soundtracks for an episode with a jazzy heist theme that pairs with a Hitchcock-ian thriller tune, along with some wacky visual gags involving mannequins, formidably-sized lackeys, Scarface's dismemberment and a tower of platinum bars crushing Batman. Plus the hosts discuss a voice cast and how the Ventriloquist and Scarface's voice actor managed to pull of differentiating his vocal performance as a multiple personality disorder. Additionally there's talk about who constructs the villains' death traps and why it makes sense that Batman is a trained ventriloquist and so much more on this week's DCAU Review!Be sure to subscribe to The Podtower on YouTube for more content from the #DCAUReview and other #DCAU content creators like them!Also be sure to subscribe to the DCAU Review on Spotify, Google Podcasts and Apple Podcasts and please consider leaving us a 5-star reviewPlot: Cal: 10/10 – Liam: 9/10Visuals/Animation: Cal: 9/10 – Liam: 8/10Music: Cal: 10/10 – Liam: 10/10Voice Acting: Cal: 10/10 – Liam: 10/10Bonus Point: NoneFinal Tally: Cal: 39/40* – Liam: 37/40**Top Pick
