Terry’s Friend Dates a Robot & Eyewitness

This week on The BATTASS Podcast, Terry learns the limits of love and Commissioner Gordon can’t trust what she sees with her own eyes in Terry’s Friend Dates a Robot and Eyewitness! Stay for the show talk, stick around for the shop talk!



Per DCAU Wiki:



“Terry’s Friend Dates a Robot” is the twenty-sixth episode of Batman Beyond. It depicts the troubles that arise when Terry’s friend Howard illegally gets a synthoid that can double for a human. Fed up with being seen as a loser and sad no one will come to his house party, Howard believes that getting an attractive girlfriend will earn him popularity. When he goes to a synthoid factory with Terry, he finds he can get a custom-made robot that appears to be human. However, after Howard buys his new girlfriend, he soon learns that she’s completely amoral — as well as far too possessive.



“Eyewitness” is the twenty-seventh episode of Batman Beyond. It originally aired on January 22, 2000. Batman makes an enemy of Commissioner Barbara Gordon when she sees him murder a criminal in cold blood. Now he is a fugitive from the Gotham Police Department, led by someone who not only knows his secret identity, but knows every trick in the superhero book.



It’s always a fun time in Gotham when Mad Stan rolls into town, and this week we have what is definitely his best appearance yet. Even though his end is a bit disturbingly dystopic, he adds an explosive charge to the episode (HA! Get it?) and helps make Eyewitness one of the best of the season, if not the entire series thus far. More Mad Stan!



So, break out your best bomb vest, make a creepy golem girlfriend that is creepily submissive (until she isn’t), and join us for another episode of BATTASS Beyond!
