Batman - Gotham Knight

How do you screw THIS up?!

We continue our crossover series with Tooncast Beyond, talking about the DC animated original movies. This time it’s a coiler known as Batman: Gotham Knight. Incorrectly labeled as a bridge between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, the only stories this film seems intent on bridging are its own.

And that’s the weird part, folks, because beside the chronological link between each story, they have almost nothing to do with one another. Oh, but don’t let this blog entry spoil everything. You’ll need to listen to the show to listen to us really rip this POS apart.

Topics:
-Batman vs Duke Togo would break the universe
-OMG! KAWAII BISHOUNEN BRUCE WAYNE! (I wanna throw up after typing that)
-Anthology movies usually have an over-arcing plot. USUALLY!
-Neil adds a rating to the IGN Replacement Crew scoring system
-Mike gets up to answer the door.

As usual, our show is expanded, with hilarious pre- and post-show banter. Technical difficulties happen. We discuss sound elements. A toilet is flushed. Stuff you’re only going to hear on our show. And Married… With Children.

There is also special “bonus track” featuring audio from our first attempt at the video games episode. Lots of off-topic discussion kept the show from being released, but the best banter has been spared, with topics that were not covered in our released version!

Bonus content topics:
-An expanded discussion of Mario’s lore
-The two Sonics
-Kittyhawk’s Franken-Saturn
-Game manual artists
-Everyone’s dead in Lavender Town
-The Sakura Wars theme… My GOD! The Sakura Wars theme!!!!

We continue with our Animation Aficionados/Tooncast Beyond crossover with this very special episode about a very special movie. It’s Justice League: The New Frontier! This movie has all the characters we love in their classic incarnations. However, bucking the usual trend, Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman all take a back seat here, because the real star of this movie is Barry Allen! No wait, it’s Hal Jordon. No, actually it’s Martian Manhunter.

Oh, I don’t even know anymore! Just watch the film. It’s pretty good.

As with last week, our version of the show has additional audio. In our extras, we discuss Thundercats, Bill Paxton Pinball, and Nintendo Wii. Plus, Ben tries to break Mike’s brain with the Animaniacs clown… and SUCCEEDS!
