Join superhero scholar Joshua Unruh and film critic extraordinaire Caleb Masters as they slam straight into the second senses-shattering season of Batman: The Animated Series!

Finally a little spotlight for the Boy Wonder! In this two-parter, we learn more about how Dick Grayson came to be in the care of Bruce Wayne and how Batman gained a partner in his war on crime. Along the way, there’s discussion of parenting styles, the complicated dynamics between fathers and sons as children become adults, and how BTAS cleverly uses its continuity to add texture and depth across otherwise episodic television.

You can stream BTAS for free if you’re an Amazon Prime member, but if you’d like to purchase it, you can do so here.
