Revenant & Babel

What this episode covers

This week on The BATTASS Podcast, we’ve got a couple villains we’ve seen before making their triumphant, and not so triumphant, returns to Gotham City! First up Willie Watt, the boy with the big construction mech best friend returns to rile up the ladies of Gotham High in Revenant, and then Shriek blasts back onto the stage and makes the citizens all tongue tied and terrified in Babel! Per DCAU Wiki: “Revenant” is the eleventh episode of the second season of Batman Beyond. It depicts the return of Willie Watt. Strange things that start happening at Hamilton Hill High School, and the students, particularly the girls, assume that the ghost of a past student is responsible for the occurrences. However, Bruce Wayne and Terry McGinnis think otherwise, and Terry (as Batman) goes undercover to discover what’s really going on. After investigating, Terry soon discovers that his old enemy, Willie Watt, has been using some newfound powers. “Babel” is the twelfth episode of the second season of Batman Beyond. It depicts the return of Shriek. Finding a way to blanket Gotham City with his sound vibrating technology, Shriek alters the sound waves carrying human speech to make it seem as if people are speaking gibberish. The city is threatened with chaos, and Shriek demands that Batman surrender himself to him. Now Batman must decide whether to sacrifice himself for an ungrateful population or to find a way to stop Shriek himself. While Willie Watt isn’t exactly an all-time Batman villain, Shriek has managed to work his way up the list and might possibly be the best of the Batman Beyond villains, so it’s a pleasure to see him back for another go round! So, get your ouija board, pretend to be a ghost, make that tuning fork sing, and join us for another episode of BATTASS Beyond!!
