12. Disappearing Inque 44. Out of the Past

The Batman

A completely separate show from the rest with different voice talent (*Kevin Conroy is unfortunately not Batman*) and a different set of crew working on the latest cartoon version of the Caped Crusader. It has only been three years since Bruce Wayne decided to become Batman and the various members of the rogue gallery are just beginning to emerge.

I will try to watch the new episodes as they come on television although I missed many by forgetting what time this show is on. I think Kids WB changed the time slot to 7:30 am (impossibly early!). Otherwise, it is still on Saturday mornings. Let me just say that I got a bad, bad impression from episodes that I did see. I mean, you have a Bruce Wayne that looks like Jackie Chan's long lost brother and a backwards step in character development for Mr. Freeze, who is now just a two bit crook. Ah well, at least The Edge performs the theme song. U2 and Batman = coolness

1. The Bat In The Belfry 2. Traction 3. Call of the Cobblepot 4. The Man Who Would Be Bat 5. The Big Chill 6. The Cat and The Bat 7. The Big Heat 8. Q&A
