Ep. 78 – Batman: The Animated Series – Eternal Youth & Perchance To Dream

The month of November is here, and Cal & Liam kick off a month of Batman: The Animated Series reviews with a double feature! Never before have there been two polar opposite episodes featured on one podcast as the Good Brothers discuss the episodes “Eternal Youth” and “Perchance To Dream.” First, the brothers have what can only be described as shared disdain for a bizarre episode featuring #MyAlfred and the never before seen or heard from again Maggie. The brothers are fairly harsh in their criticism and comparison to a lost Batman ’66 episode but this episode does bring about the largest score disparity to date and for only the second time in DCAU Review history, a point deduction!Up next the guys discuss one of the most universally loved episodes where we learn what it would be like if Bruce never put on the cape and cowl and instead lived solely as Bruce Wayne. Cal and Liam talk about some great subtleties in the soundtrack, the psychology of Batman’s ability to be happy, and talk foreshadowing throughout the episode! Of course, they have full scorecards for each episode and an exciting preview of next week’s all-new DCAU Review!Please be sure to subscribe to us on Spotify, Google Podcasts and Apple Podcasts!Click Here To Download The Entire Episode!See Cal & Liam’s entire scorecard for this week’s episode by clicking below:Eternal YouthPlot:Cal: 1/10 – Liam: 0/10Voice Acting:Cal: 4/10 – Liam: 3/10Music:Cal: 5/10 – Liam: 4/10Visuals/Animation:Cal: 8/10 – Liam: 3/10Bonus Point: Bonus Point DeductionLiam -1 (Bad Execution, No Fun)Final Tally:Cal: 18/40 – Liam: 9/40Perchance To DreamPlot:Cal: 8/10 – Liam: 10/10Voice Acting:Cal: 10/10 – Liam: 10/10Music:Cal: 10/10 – Liam: 8/10Visuals/Animation:Cal: 6/10 – Liam: 7/10Bonus Point:Liam +1 (Dream Foreshadowing)Final Tally:Cal: 34/40 – Liam: 36/40Please send any feedback our way via our Twitter @DCAUReview and be sure to like us on Facebook
