The time has come, the boys of BATTASS have returned to officially kick off our coverage of season 2 of Batman Beyond! We take flight back to Neo Gotham with two monstrous tales of mutation, the season premier Splicers, and the Clayface-adjacent Earth Mover!



Per DCAU Wiki:



“Splicers” is the first episode of the second season of Batman Beyond. It depicts the trouble Gotham faces when a new fad arrives in the form of “Splicing”. After a scientist, Dr. Abel Cuvier, introduces a system of combining animal DNA with human DNA; it becomes a trend amongst the young people of Gotham. However, D.A. Sam Young works to outlaw the practice and is marked for death by Cuvier. Now Batman must deal with people enhanced with animal capabilities.



“Earth Mover” is the fifteenth episode of Batman Beyond. It depicts the emergence of a villain known only as the Earthmover. One of Terry’s friends, Jackie Wallace, continuously feels like she’s being watched and Terry soon comes across a man made entirely out of dirt. Things start getting worse as more and more of these dirt men start showing up. Soon, Terry learns that the real culprit is Jackie’s father, who is out to get his daughter back and revenge on Bill Wallace, who he blames for his condition. To save them both, Batman must face one of the most powerful beings he’s ever encountered.We’re back on the Bat for season 2 of Batman Beyond, and off to a good start! Will this season keep the standard high? Or will it crash and burn? There’s only one way to find out!



So, take some mutant animal hormones, bathe in some toxic waste, kidnap your daughter and join us as we kick off BATTASS Beyond!

Ever wonder what happens when two working comic book artists sit down to talk about the definitive cartoon version of the Dark Knight? That’s the simple, compelling premise behind BATTASS: The Batman The Animated Series Show Podcast. Hosts Clay McCormack and Sean Murphy bring their insider’s perspective from the drawing board to every discussion, breaking down each installment of the legendary series. Their conversations are less like formal reviews and more like you’re overhearing a deep, passionate, and often very funny debate between two experts who genuinely love the material. You’ll hear them trace the artistic influences in the show’s iconic style, analyze the sharp writing that appealed to both kids and adults, and share personal insights into why certain characters or storylines resonate so powerfully within the broader world of comics. This isn’t a rushed recap; it’s a thoughtful, episode-by-episode excavation of what made Batman: The Animated Series a cultural touchstone. The result is a consistently engaging podcast that feels both educational and entertaining, offering a unique lens on a show many of us thought we already knew everything about. New episodes from The Pensky File dive into a single chapter of the animated saga, making it a perfect companion whether you’re revisiting the series or discovering it for the first time.
