Ep. 82 – Batman: The Animated Series – Night Of The Ninja

Episode 82 is here and it finds the Good Brothers wrapping up their stay in the retro-futuristic Gotham City of Batman: The Animated Series. This week the boys review “Night of the Ninja”, a tale that sheds some light on Bruce Wayne’s past and part of how he trained to become the Batman. Our hosts discuss the choice to make Kyodai Ken’s motivation go beyond straight revenge, another reference to a Batman ’66 plot device, more fleshing out of the Robin character, why Bruce was needlessly secretive about the Ninja and the uncharacteristic respect paid to Japanese culture found in this cartoon compared to others at the time. All of this, plus a breakdown of the excellent soundtrack and a full scorecard on this week’s 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:Plot:Cal: 5/10 – Liam: 6/10Voice Acting:Cal: 7/10 – Liam: 7/10Music:Cal: 10/10 – Liam: 9/10Visuals/Animation:Cal: 6/10 – Liam: 6/10Final Tally:Cal: 28/40 – Liam: 28/40Please send any feedback our way via our Twitter @DCAUReview and be sure to like us on Facebook
