Nothing to lose your head over...

Episode 49: Batman Gotham Knight

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!!!!

Can you guess which one? (Hint: It wasn’t Superman)

Episode 34: The Apocrypha of the DCAU

Weeaboo The Series

I think I'm turning Japanese. I really think so!

This ep, we are joined by JT from Saskatoon and the ever vocal Thomas Revor to discuss the DCAU Apocrypha: the lost books of the DCAU bible (Static Shock, Zeta Project, and Teen Titans).  These shows are NOT in continuity. We even have Tara Strong’s own word for it. (Thanks, Blanchard. You get a cookie this week.)

An apocrypha is a collection of stories that has been tossed aside from a main canon for a variety of reasons. The shows we talk about tonight are jettisoned from the DCAU continuity not just because we may feel that they’re inferior, but also because they have deviated stylistically and creatively from the main canon. Zeta started out as a spin-off of a DCAU property but found its strength in being its own thing, whereas Static Shock’s only claim to DCAU connectivity lies in a few desperate crossover attempts as its popularity waned. Teen Titans, however, has a restraining order keeping it from going anywhere near the DCAU.

Show Topics:
What do the Gordanians have to do with the price of tea in China?
Shaq, the Backstreet Boys, and the Hoop Squad
Oh no! There goes Tokyo. Go go Teen Titans!(?)
Sexualizing underage cartoon characters
Lauren Faust for the win!
