Beware the Creeper & Judgment Day

This is it, we’ve made it to the end! This week on the BATTASS Podcast, Sean and Clay have made it to the end of the Batman: The Animated Series road as they cover the final two episodes of the “classic” era of animated Batman, the raucous Beware the Creeper, and the litigious Judgment Day! There are a couple of pretty flamboyant costumes in these, one in bright colors, and the other…well if goth can be flamboyant, The Judge is probably it.



First up in The Creeper, reporter Jack Ryder makes the mistake of trying to walk a mile in the Joker’s shoes, and ends up at the bottom of the very same vat of chemicals the Joker did! However, this time the chemicals turn his skin a sickly yellow, and doom him to an existence as a never-ending Jim Carrey impression! A few unwanted sexual advances on Harley later and Jack, now The Creeper, is right in the Joker’s crosshairs!



Then in Judgment Day (the episode that is definitely not Mask of the Phantasm), there’s a new vigilante on the block dressed in dark robes, appearing through smoke, brandishing a big bladed weapon (again, definitely NOT the Phantasm), and he’s taking out criminals in a much more violent way than Batman deems reasonable (once again, separate character, zero connection to the Phantasm). Batman is pushed to his limit as he has to figure out the identity of this new vigilante and come to terms with what it means for him when he finds out how they’re connected (just want to stress again, this is not the Phantasm)!



It’s been a long road, getting from there to here for the BATTASS Podcast, and Sean and Clay would both like to thank everyone who’s been along for the ride, and enjoyed our discussions of the episodes, as well as our tangents that veer off into any number of varied topics, art-related, hentai-related, or others!



So get your best red fur boa, polish up your oversized gavel, and join us for Beware The Creeper and Judgment Day! And we’ll see you in a few months for BATTASS BEYOND!
