Ep. 246 - Batman: The Animated Series - Trial

The Good Brothers return to their Batman; The Animated Series reviews with one of the most memorable episodes in the entire BTAS run with a review of "Trial." The hosts discuss how this episode that was originally pitched to be a full-length movie fits nicely into a 22 minute episode while establishing the Janet Van Dorn character and a large representation of the Rogues Gallery. Hear the hosts speculate on the Bruce/Van Dorn relationship, discuss the predictably hilarious bits of episode's co-writer Paul Dini's humor showcased throughout the 2nd and 3rd acts, and the notable lack of various villain themes used in the Harvey Cohen soundtrack. Plus, Cal & Liam delve deep into the large voice cast which ends up being a bit of a family affair for one of main cast members and a murders' row in the rest of the cast. All of this and a preview of next week's BTAS review await on this week's DCAU Review!Ways to support the Podcast: Subscribe to the DCAU Review on Spotify, Google Podcasts and Apple Podcasts and please consider leaving us a 5-star review Subscribe to The Podtower on YouTube and like the videos Buy the Pod a coffee or grab some merchFinal Scores:Plot: Cal: 10/10 – Liam: 10/10Visuals/Animation: Cal: 7/10 – Liam: 7/10Music: Cal: 7/10 – Liam: 8/10Voice Acting: Cal: 10/10 – Liam: 10/10Bonus Point: Cal +1 (Title Card)Final Tally: Cal: 35/40 – Liam: 35/40   Music: Near End Action by Alexander Nakarada (www.serpentsoundstudios.com) Licensed under Creative Commons BY Attribution 4.0 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
