Ep. 267 - Batman: The Animated Series - Harlequinade

After another multiversal adventure last week, the Good Brothers return to the DCAU with a month of Batman: The Animated Series reviews for the month of July and it's only fitting the month kicks off with a bang as they review the all-time classic "Harlequinade." Hear the hosts discuss a plot that borrows heavily from Merrie Melodies shorts and the oddball comedy 48 Hours with light being shed on Harley's not yet established backstory and a DCAU musical number precedent being set. The hosts talk plenty about Paul Dini's brilliant comedy and Arleen Sorkin's role in bring "Say That We're Sweethearts Again" to the episode. Additionally, Cal & Liam talk Shirley Walker's score which shied away from traditional BTAS themes and leaned heavily onto the source material in only the way that Ms. Walker could. All of that and a discussion on Ms. Sorkin's incredible one liners, something one host noticed for the first time ever and much more await on this week's all-new DCAU Review!
