Batman The Animated Series Retrospective : On Leather Wings & Feat Of Clay Part 1 & 2

SPEAKER_1 (0:02)

Hello, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the very first episode of Batman The Animated Series Retrospective. I am the Clown Prince of Podcasts, trust me now, and I'm joined by...

Kirkland Patzer (0:16)

I am the world's greatest butler, Kirkland Patzer.

Taylor Field (0:19)

I'm the blimp, Taylor Field.

SPEAKER_1 (0:21)

Yes, here we are. A retro, I've been waiting for a long time, we've talked, but I swear we talked about this even before podcasts started. Here's all the shows we do, here's all these things. Somehow X-Men happened first, Spider-Man happened first, some of Clone Wars happened first. The Animated Series I want to do the most, took us 12 years to get here, but we are here. This was supposed to be, and I guess still technically is, we were starting this in timing for the Batman, because the Batman, obviously the first, it should have been a couple of weeks ago, the second date, and then it should have been out next year. But then hopefully, fingers crossed, it's still out February, 2028, this will be a big build up to that. If not, then we're just having a good time, and we're building up to whatever the next DC Batman is. But what's gonna happen with this episode is, we're putting, all these episodes will eventually be on the public feed. This first episode will be on the public feed right now. So it's gonna be dropped, and then it's good to go, everything there. Of course, the ad free editions on Patreon. After this, it will be a Patreon, not exclusive, but early exclusive, till we record almost all the episodes, or all the episodes, and then we're gonna release them. We did the same thing with Clone Wars, and I think we did the same with X-Men as well, where we're gonna release, or we're gonna record them. We're probably gonna record an episode every month, maybe sometimes two, and it's gonna be what we're doing today, as we've done in the past, usually three to four blocks of episodes. And so yeah, if you like this, this is your nice little test, your nice little, or taste, not a test, could be a test, I don't know. It's your appetizer, it's like, hey, if you like this, we're gonna be doing this for the next year or so, just like X-Men, just like Clone Wars, this is a girthy retro, we're doing this in Batman Beyond. There's a couple movies as well in there, so it's gonna be a good time, but we're leading up to Batman, we're leading up to, there's some else Batman related to, even then, technically, in 2020, Dynamic Duo comes out, which is an animated Batman project. So if live action one doesn't come out, we have that, but that's kind of the rigmarole, and the other rigmarole for this episode, you might be wondering why we're doing these episodes. I think you can figure it out, we've got pretty smart listeners.

Obviously, we're doing the first ever episode On Leather Wings, but then we're doing A Feat Of Clay part 1 and part 2, because Clay faces on to each, which we will be reviewing. So I thought, obviously, it's a little down the line. As you've guys seen with the show, there is some storylines and some things that continue on, but then there's a lot of episodes that are very much the anthology of, hey, Batman's dealing with some fucked up shit, and this is what's happening this week. So I thought, okay, it's a good two-parter. So that's what we're doing today. We're talking about A Feat Of Clay, part 1 and 2, we're talking about On Leather Wings.

Kirk and Patzer and Taylor Field have not seen, I'm sure they've seen snippets or heard of things. So Kirk was-

Taylor Field (2:51)

I already watched the whole series.

SPEAKER_1 (2:52)

Oh, wow. He thought it was a one-episode retro, like we're going to talk about the entire, the whole week, and he's like, Madison, I got to finish this.

Taylor Field (3:00)

He's got notes for days.

SPEAKER_1 (3:02)

I got 90 episodes and three movies. But, well, no, then Taylor, you watched, I'll know, but I'll start you, Taylor. Taylor, what is your-

Taylor Field (3:10)

No, no, no, no, no, no, you're passing to Kirk.

Kirkland Patzer (3:12)

It's too late.

SPEAKER_1 (3:12)

You budged in front of him. It's too late. You pulled him at Hagen. Yeah, it's only me.

Kirkland Patzer (3:16)

It's my rule. With the retro on your own, I'm done.

SPEAKER_1 (3:18)

Yeah. You're Matt Hagen and Kirkland was like, oh man, we lost them.

Kirkland Patzer (3:22)

The self-removed. Those were rare.
