Having watched these cartoons over and over since childhood, it’s great to listen to a show that revisits these classic DCAU shows as well as the “Elseworlds” like young Justice or BATB. Highly recommend.
At the time of this review Cal and Liam have officially reviewed all 85 episodes of Batman: The Animated Series. I have listened to every one and these guys are the best in the business. Some of the episodes they were hard on surprised me but I never came away from a review without new thoughts and ideas. A few of their observations flat out blew my mind and made me go back and do my own rewatch. Bravo guys! Congratulations on this achievement!
Fortunately not when I listen to The DCAU Review. (I’m trying to make up for the DCAU Etrigan’s lack of rhyming.) I found out about this podcast thanks to the Watchtower Database, and I’m super glad that I did. I really enjoy listening as Cal and Liam assess each spotlighted DCAU episode by examining the individual aspects of plot, animation, music, and voice acting. I also appreciate that they extend their coverage beyond just the DCAU by applying their signature review style to episodes of... more

Jonesing for a podcast where a few people talk about some of my favorite animated Batman movies, I was thrilled to discover The DCAU Review on the last day of 2023. The Long Halloween Part 1 and 2, Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker, and Mask of the Phantasm are all covered along with many more movies and series. There’s a great blend of opinions, history, and audio clips. Great job, Cal and Liam.
