Oracle, Nightwing, Harley, Matt Hagen Clayface, Brandon Rough voicing Everywhere Man, Kevin Conroy voicing Dick Grayson's father etc...

...Wow, either Capizzi took those crticisms of "Braniac Attacks" to heart or he's seriously trying to redeem this show

[DrSpengler]

Some of that sounds pretty interesting. Thank god Dini is writing the Harley introduction episode. It'll be interesting to see how they play her relationship with the Joker, seeing as how Kevin Michael Richardson plays such a different angle with the characters voice (which I like). I'll tune in, maybe give the show its 5th or 6th chance.

[ThirdMarioBro]

Still hate the show, but Harley is enough to get me to watch out of sheer curiousity. Kenvin Conroy voicing an extra bothers me though.

[Brodie]

Harley looks cool, love the huge hat things.
Future Freeze looks cool.
Nightwing looks too big...Looks too buff. But has the very thin waist. Im not sure how I feel about the hair...

[cowabunga14]

All these characters look pretty nice, but where's Two-Face? I guess my favorite villain won't be appearing on the cartoon anytime soon. I'm giving this show a chance even though I've only seen one episode.

Oracle already??? Does this mean Batgirl was shot last season? I hardly watch it

Nightwing?! Wait a darn second here... Didn't Robin just become his sidekick?? Oh.. I see they're doing some stuff in the future.

Superman is Everywhere Man? WTF is Everywhere Man???

But.. Martian Manhunter and Harley Quinn!! WOOT!!

There's going to be a futuristic episode looking at what the characters will be like, in any case this is one time I'm glad one version of Barbera Gordon gets stuck in a wheelchair. Batgirl in this series is that god damn irritating.

[Doppleganger]

Wait! Wait! Wait! Back up. Back up.

Spoiler:

Barbara Gordon was shot?

This sounds kind of interesting if they are going to introduce

Spoiler:

Oracle

but dayum still sounds kind of weird how they introducing her so quickly.

Harley Quinn?! Really?!

Okay probably still not enough to make me watch this show but it has me intrigued.

There are apperantly eps that will be set in the future...hence the Oracle and Nightwing references.

It happened back in the 80s I believe. I have that comic somewhere, just to lazy to look it up

[Raven]

Yeah it was in the killing joke, Barbara was shot in the spine (um I think....) by the joker.

Me and my being too overly cautious. Well of course I know Oracle is Barbara Gordon I was just being cautious. Too cautious I guess.

To quote Snidley Whiplash
"My sentaments exactly, Dudley!"

The Batgirl seems like a long line of "We have to have a positive female role model on every boy's cartoon, and make girls' cartoon stars vacuuous bimbos" which I ranted about on another post somewhere before. She's basically a grown up, Caucasian version of Jade from jackie Chan Adventures and little else.

I have hope these episodes will get better, and I like how the original Batman TAS voice actor at least has a cameo. All and all I'm still not a huge fan of the show, but sometimes it's pretty good.

[Drtooth]

They all sound pretty interresting, though 44 is definately an unoriginal concept...especially after the "Plant Zombies" episode last season.

[Ra]

Oh yeah! I've been waiting to see what Harley looks like for "The Batman". It actually sort of looks like a doodle I did after seeing the end of Season 2. I know this show has potential, and some of its episodes have proved worth the horrid Season 1 (With the exception of the two-part Clayface episode.) I mean, until I saw The Big Chill, I have never heard so many bad ice puns in one episode. Still, episodes like Strange Minds and The Laughing Bat showed true potential. Besides, the new Robin design makes me happy since it looks almost identical to the design from Teen Titans. So...yeah, a staisfied fangirl here. Well, at least until we see an episode from this new season

[Drtooth]

When was season 3? Is season 4 the upcoming season, or will that be a year later? I'm confused.

The third season was the one that introduced Batgirl

[Drtooth]

I thought that was the second season
