The Worry Men | Sideshow

The Worry Men | Sideshow

Author: The Pensky File August 12, 2020 Duration: 59:28





This week on the BATTASS Podcast, Mad Hatter goes a really long way for a racist ham sandwich, and Killer Croc comes oh so close to turning over a new leaf with The Worry Men and Sideshow!



First up, in The Worry Men, Veronica Vreeland has bought dolls for her friends which, once placed under a pillow, are supposed to relieve the sleeper of stress, but the Mad Hatter has implanted a microchip in them which transmits hypnotic suggestions into the sleepers’ brains. Batman fights Mad Hatter’s really culturally insensitive goons, manages to escape a guillotine just in the nick of time, and almost loses a fortune in the process!



Next, in Sideshow, Killer Croc flees from his prison transport and leads Batman on a chase through the wilderness. After throwing Batman off his scent, the reptile-man takes refuge with a group of retired circus freaks and persuades them to help him. We get a train-top fistfight, the cutest half seal, half boy you’ll ever see, and some beautiful forest landscapes along the way too! Does Batman ruin Croc’s one chance at turning over a new leaf? Or is Croc just a jerk through and through?



Join Clay and Sean as they discuss the finer bits of guillotine escape strategy, drawing Batman in the rural day time, freakshows, when a face turn is really a face turn, and the continuing question over how smart or dumb Killer Croc really is!



Batman the Animated series takes us to the great outdoors this week, giving us probably the most heartwarming story you could tell with a giant crocodile man at the center of it, as well as a story featuring the Mad Hatter where his goons’ gimmick is so racially insensitive they feel right out of a 1940’s cartoon, so take out all the money in your bank account, get your ticket for the freakshow and join us for this new episode of the Battass Podcast as they discuss The Worry Men and Sideshow!

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.
