#Batman #TheBraveAndTheBold - The Knights of Tomorrow

A really interesting and well made alternate version of Batman's history. Really liked the turn it takes part-way through. One thing this show this show has done well is use Joker in unique and interesting ways.

#JusticeLeagueTAS - Tabula Rasa, Part 2

Again, the Lex/Amazo dynamic worked really well here. I liked the direction it took in the latter half, and how it leaves things open for a potential continuation down the line. Also, Martian Manhunter's side story was nicely done.

#Batman #TheBraveAndTheBold - Cry Freedom Fighters!

Introducing these cheesily patriotic characters works better here than it could have IMO. And part of that is because of the contrast that Plastic Man brings. The episode was a lot more fun because of him.

#JusticeLeagueTAS - Tabula Rasa, Part 1

Really liked the double-villain set-up here. Getting to see Lex brought so low on a number of levels was interesting. And Amazo works as a more physical threat, leading to a great action sequence and cliffhanger.

#Batman #TheBraveAndTheBold - Plague of the Prototypes

A fairly light episode, even by BatB standards. I liked the idea of this one, especially once Proto is forced into action. Nice to hear another Adam West performance, so soon after "Chill of the Night!"

#JusticeLeagueTAS - Twilight, Part 2

Great conclusion to the arc. Again, good use of Darkseid and Braniac, with great action in that regard. But the best part was seeing Superman at his most tense, along with the confrontation with Batman. So good.

#JusticeLeagueTAS - Twilight, Part 1

Season 2 is off to a great start. Love the way it follows up on not just one, but two major Superman villains, and seeing Superman's conflicting reactions to that. Also nice how the others (especially Batman) respond to all that.

#Batman #TheBraveAndTheBold - The Criss-Cross Conspiracy!

The revenge story with Bat-Lady is interesting. But the body-swap aspect added a nice bit of fun, especially thanks to some sly one-liners and great voice acting. They've really let Diedrich Bader shine this season.

#Batman #TheBraveAndTheBold - Emperor Joker

Another really good episode. The mix of Bat-Mite and Joker works well to create an off-the-wall story, with some really fun and creative gags. And like with the Music Meister and Birds of Prey episodes, we get another great song.

#Batman #TheBraveAndTheBold - Menace of the Madniks!

An interesting story idea with Booster Gold and Ted Kord's Blue Beetle, though not the best. The main thing I liked was the time travel aspect, and how it looked at Ted Kord's friendship with Booster and Batman.

#Batman #TheBraveAndTheBold - The Mask of Matches Malone!

A really interesting episode that has a fun twist on Bruce's character and the organized crime in Gotham. Not to mention the great use of the Birds of Prey.

#Batman #TheBraveAndTheBold - The Last Patrol!

A pretty interesting idea for a Doom Patrol story. While some parts were better than others, I liked seeing the disbanded team forced back together. The last half in particular was good, as we see their hero status get tested.

#Batman #TheBraveAndTheBold - Requiem for a Scarlet Speedster

Really good Flash team-up episode. Really liked how they handled the different Flash characters, and Reverse Flash. Also, the effects of The Flash's powers were well used to make the plot more interesting.

#Batman #TheBraveAndTheBold - The Siege of Starro! Part 2

A really good continuation. The battle in the second half was really well done. And the episode had a surprisingly good use of B'Wana Beast's character.

#Batman #TheBraveAndTheBold - The Siege of Starro! Part 1

After the build-up, this has lived up to its potential so far. Starro's an interesting villain, and I like how it forces Batman to lead this team of smaller heroes. Some really good action and character moments.

Still need to watch the second movie, but I'm sure that will be great too. I really liked the first one.

At least it will lead to one hell of a year for DC movies.

#Batman #TheBraveAndTheBold - Gorillas in Our Midst!

The definition of dumb fun is "a Batman team-up with Detective Chim vs. a team of gorilla villains." Not the greatest (and pales in comparison to the previous episode), but I enjoyed it for what it was.

#StarTrekDS9 - Past Tense, Part 1

It's interesting how, while focusing just on the homeless crisis, the writers made something that resonates so well with the way the country's going now, even taking place in 2024. And the episode itself is really well done.

#StarTrekVoyager - Non Sequitur

It seems pretty strange that they put this episode so soon after "Projections," since it seems so similar. I don't think this is quite as good, partly because of the acting, but it's still decent.

#Batman #TheBraveAndTheBold - Chill of the Night!

By far the episode with the most emotional weight of the show so far (though not without lighter moments). Seeing Batman confront his past like this was great. And Diedrich Bader really nails the stronger moments in this one.

Donuteater111 @donuteater111.bsky.social · Aug 29

#Batman #TheBraveAndtheBold - The Power of Shazam!

A fun adventure with Captain Marvel and Batman. Dr. Sivana and his kids decent campy villains. But what made it for me was getting a glimpse at where Shazam's powers come from, and the intro to Black Adam.

#TheNakedGun #TheNakedGun1988

Watched this for the first time. Really liked it. Kind of reminded me of Get Smart, but its style of slapstick and comedy does enough to set it apart. Leslie Nielsen was great in the role, and the supporting cast does a good job too.
