This week on the BATTASS Podcast covers A Bullet for Bullock and Trial! Sean and Clay also get into how Sean lifted his idea for White Knight DIRECTLY from the Animated Series.
First up, in A Bullet for Bullock, After surviving several near misses, Gotham’s toughest cop Harvey Bullock realizes he needs Batman’s help to discover who is behind the recent attempts on his life. Bullock gets a front-row seat to all the crappy ways he’s treated people in his life, and Batman helps him follow the clues to the mystery assailant, but the real culprit can be found looking back at Harvey from his own mirror! Will Bullock change his ways? Fat chance!
Next, in Trial, Gotham’s new DA is out to arrest Batman, but they both end up captured and put on trial by a gang of criminals instead. From there on it’s a cavalcade of costumes in a kangaroo court as a jury of Arkham’s craziest inmates throws the book at Batman! Forced to watch the proceedings chained to a seat in a straight jacket, Batman better hope his DA defense attorney has what it takes to make a sensible case to villains with no sense at all!
Join Clay and Sean as they discuss the finer bits of Joker’s costume changes, how hard it is to draw cars, Harvey Bullock’s creep-factor, a distinct lack of fire-lit Batman, and whether or not Sean stole all his Batman ideas straight from Batman: The Animated Series!
Batman the Animated gives us one really good episode and one ok episode this week, as Harvey’s story doesn’t fully live up to its potential, while Trial is so much fun it’s hard not to like it! So be a jerk to your neighbor, put on your best old-timey judge’s wig, and join us for this new episode of the Battass Podcast!
