The Terrible Trio & Harlequinade

The Terrible Trio & Harlequinade

Author: The Pensky File September 25, 2020 Duration: 1:07:54





This week on the BATTASS Podcast, Batman faces off against some truly underwhelming foes in half-assed animal dress up, and Harley gets driven to the brink by her love for the Joker in the episodes “The Terrible Trio” and “Harlequinade”!



First up, in The Terrible Trio, Thrill-seeking friends of Bruce Wayne decide to become master criminals. As the Fox, the Shark, and the Vulture (masters of land, sea, and air), the Terrible Trio run riot in Gotham, until that is, they come face-to-face with Batman. Uninspired villains at the very least, they put up way too much of a fight for Batman, and also escalate from theft to straight-up, cold-blooded murder at an alarmingly fast rate!



Next up in Harlequinade, Batman and Robin have no time to spare in stopping The Joker from detonating an atomic bomb, so they enlist the help of Harley Quinn to hunt the Joker down. Harley gets to ride in the Batmobile, as well as make sure her darling hyenas, Bud and Lou, are well-fed, all while holding out some hope that the Joker really does love her. And all this despite Joker’s ambivalence at her possible demise, too. What a guy!



Join Sean and Clay as they get into the nitty gritty of the episode Bruce Timm considers to be the worst episode of the entire DC animated universe. Luckily everything is evened out by a really good Harley episode with some fantastic animation, a bunch of costume changes, and the fun of watching Harley be an annoying pain in Batman’s ass!



We’ve got biplanes and burglary on Batman the Animated Series this week, so find your dearest loved one, attempt to kill them in a variety of over the top ways, and join us for this new episode of the BATTASS Podcast! Thanks for listening.

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.
