  • Still going strong

    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.

  • Bravo!

    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!

  • Am I Blue?

    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

  • A great blend of opinions, history, and audio clips

    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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bonus Ep. 63 - Batman Gotham Adventures #6 - Last Chance
Q: What do you think Batman learned about all of this by the time Justice League Unlimited episode Dead Reckoning?
There must have been an off-screen adventure where Batman learned about Deadman and his ghostly powers, potentially through a connection to Nandaparbat or another encounter that clarified their relationship.
Ep. 351 - Elseworlds - The Batman - Thunder
Q: Do you think this is the best version of Maxie Zeus?
Visually, this version is more formidable than the classic version, especially given the technological advances and gladiators; however, the consensus remains that the Batman The Animated Series depiction is more iconic.
Ep. 350 - DCAU Character Spotlight - Ra's Al Ghul w/ Kevin Altieri
Q: How do you think Ra's al Ghul's name is pronounced?
Kevin Altieri clarifies that Denny O'Neill pronounced it "Ra's", aligning with the creator's intent, against other interpretations.
Ep. 350 - DCAU Character Spotlight - Ra's Al Ghul w/ Kevin Altieri
Q: What's your favorite moment from Ra's from the show?
Liam shares that his favorite moment involves the cape movement when Ra's al Ghul stands on the tarmac in Showdown, with the wind blowing his cape dramatically as he says, "We'll cross swords another day, detective."
Ep. 339 - Justice League Unlimited - To Another Shore
Q: Why is Aquaman not present in the episode?
Due to various Aquaman projects in the works, he had to be omitted from the episode, leading to the introduction of a new villain, Devil Ray.
