Eric saying that they haven't done Clayface in live action bc he's "really not like Batman" is a problem. The live action movies lean far too much on realism, making people forget about the fantastical side of Batman's mythos.

Fun fact: Studio Ghibli animators worked on this episode as well as the Batman/Superman crossover episode. Back in the day, animation studios would often help each other out on projects when their animators weren't busy in exchange for help later down the line. Gibhli and one of the studios that animated Batman and Superman the Animated Series did such a swap. Ghibli was going to need help with Princess Mononoke, so they lent their animators out in preparation for later cooperation. So, Ghibli animators were tasked with working on segments of episodes. That is why Annie looks like an anime character in this episode because she was literally animated by some of the best anime artists of the day.

Damn. 25 years later and this ep STILL stands out as amongst the greatest eps from the entire DCAU. In terms of emotional resonance, it's right there with Heart of Ice. The anime style you guys picked up on is really how I wished a lot of this new era of BTAS was. This is also Shirley Walker's masterpiece. Very Silence of the Lambs-esque in terms of horror, suspense, and tragedy.

One of the big hints that Annie wasn't a normal human was her art style. She was modeled after Mathilda, from Leon: The Professional. They also had the lighthouse, the same from the episode mudslide, so that keen eyed viewers would know what was going on. And Kane was a reference to Bob Kane.

bob kane the guy who refused to share any credit for batman's creation with bill finger until after bill died? (edit: and even then didn't allow his name to be credited) The Bob Kane who is known to have used ghost artists throughout most of his run on the character? The Bob Kane who made a deal with DC for exclusive credit rights for batman that simultaneously hurt Sigel's and Shuster's attempts' for creative control over superman after they approached Bob over a potential joint suit against Dc? That Bob Kane is a "wonderful man" in your eyes? edit: just for future context the original comment has now been edited. Originally it called Bob a "Wonderful Man"

@@ArlanKels no problem. I'd highly recommend watching Comic Tropes' video on the subject and if you have time the Documentary "Batman and Bill" for more information. In particular the latter also goes in depth into how an author named Marc Tyler Nobleman managed to to get Bill a name credit in all batman material starting with Batman V Superman.

A real emotional breaker of an episode, reminds me of the 2nd Hydro Man episode in Spider-Man TAS. You're not a real member of the Bat-family until you have your heart metaphorically ripped out at least once. Welcome to the club, Tim Drake.

In regards to the name “Kane”, Kathy Kane and Bette Kane had existed in comics as Batwoman and Bat-Girl but Kate Kane as Batwoman wasn’t around until the 2000s.

@R.J.Godzilla81 27 күн бұрын

@15:47 The name “Kane” is probably a reference to Batman Co-creator Bob Kane. I’m not sure if Kate Kane was a thing yet, I don’t think she was, so the sign most likely isn’t referring to her.

Clayface is definitely “Batman” it’s just most live action adaptations lean heavily into realism and ignore all the fantastical elements of Batman which actually outweigh the realism. Hopefully James Gunn’s DCU will lean into the fantastical instead of the realism.

@R.J.Godzilla81 27 күн бұрын

This is one of, if not THE DARKEST episode of Batman the animated series; and it’s one of my top 3 episodes. I hate the holiday anthology episode because it completely spoils this episode’s Clayface reveal/surprise.

@tornadochaser2457 27 күн бұрын

Even though I think it's cool that the series introduces the second Robin like that, as it feels ambitiously complex and twisty narratively, I would never sacrifice the Clayface reveal in any way, so I'd definitely call placing it earlier a mistake. I don't think you hate the episode by the way, just its placement. Don't penalise the episode for something it didn't do!

SELINA KYLE (Catwomen) Helena's Mother, Was killed by Live. Action clay face in the show birds of prey. That was Helena's origin story to become the huntress. It shows him in the later episodes in prison. Not the big fantastical version. You were probably expecting but considering it had an even lower budget than swamp thing for the time and age and quality of CGI relying heavily on just makeup. They did a very good job.

I assume that when he said that Clayface should be charged for murder he was just saying what he felt. I don't even know if the police new about Annie to charge him and even then she was just a part of him. Has Annie herself said, she is not even real. To Robin though, Clayface murdered Annie because he refused to accept that Annie wasn't real.
