The Demon’s Quest

The Demon’s Quest

Author: The Pensky File July 15, 2020 Duration: 1:04:48





This week on the BATTASS Podcast, the Demon comes to Gotham, and then goes to the middle east, and then goes crazy as Ra’s Al Ghul makes his grand entrance onto the Batman the Animated Series stage in “The Demons Quest”!



In Demon’s Quest Part 1, Batman investigates the mysterious kidnapping of Robin, when he’s asked for help by a shadowy figure named Ra’s Al Ghul whose daughter Talia has also been captured. Ra’s appears to be an ally, but he’s not all that he seems as he’s revealed to be the very one who set the kidnappings in motion! After Batman rejects Ra’s offer to take over as the Demon’s Head, he and Robin are trapped inside a crumbling cave!



In Demon’s Quest part 2, Batman travels to the middle east in order to confront Ra’s al Ghul and his plan to annihilate half of all life on earth in an attempt to create a utopia where nature is once again the dominant force on earth. Batman grabs a sword and loses his shirt as he and Ra’s have an epic sword fight on the lip of a roiling Lazarus Pit, and a timer ticks down toward Ra’s ultimate goal of global destruction!



Join Clay and Sean as they discuss the Batman’s chest hair (or lack thereof), fluctuating bust sizes, Ra’s penchant for waiting in corners for hours at a time, and when is a giant panther TOO giant?



Batman the Animated Series’ episode “The Demon Quest” welcomes a classic villain to the fold this week, one who will prove to be a recurring thorn in Batman’s side, and whose villainy spans millennia. Plus, Liam Neeson! So pull on your favorite Anubis mask, take off your shirt, cue up the Lawrence of Arabia soundtrack, and join us for this new episode of The BATTASS Podcast!

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.
