Batman Season 2 - Episode 35
In Batman's first episode of the second season, The Archer, a villain modeled after Robin Hood, escapes from Police Headquarters in a moving van from the Trojan Hearse Company, driven by Maid Marilyn. Together, with his band of "merry malefactors" - Crier Tuck and Big John (a play on Friar Tuck and Little John, respectively) - he pays a surprise visit to Wayne Manor. The inhabitants are gassed and cash is stolen. Later, the crew attacks Police Headquarters. When they are giving out other stolen cash they are apprehended by Batman and Robin. The Gotham citizens enriched by the muggers save them from arrest.
Almost Got 'Im is an episode of the first season of Batman: The Animated Series. It is notable for being the second episode where various enemies of Batman are seen together in one single episode; the first one being The Strange Secret of Bruce Wayne. The story is based around personal anecdotes of each of the villains and their confrontations with Batman, which is reminiscent of a specific story from the Golden Age of Batman Comics.(See Notes)
According to a press release from Daybreak Games, the episode will include both new and returning heroes and villains such as The Red Death, The Merciless, and The Batman Who Laughs. It will also include both single player and group-focused quests that take place in twisted but otherwise iconic areas of the DC universe.
"Almost Got 'Im" is the thirty-fifth episode of season one of the superhero adventure program Batman: The Animated Series and the thirty-fifth episode of the series overall. It was directed by Eric Radomski with a script written by Paul Dini. The episode first aired on FOX Kids on November 10th, 1992.

P.O.V. is an episode of Batman: The Animated Series which is about how the Dark Knight is perceived by others. Batman is effectively a secondary character in this story, yet at no point does this detract from what is a great episode.
Baby-Doll is a brilliant episode of Batman: The Animated Series, with a truly memorable ending. As with Heart of Ice and Feat of Clay, the story places its focus on the tragic side of the villain, to ensure a fully-developed character sits at the heart of the episode.
Mad as a Hatter is a curious story about an inventor and his worrying obsession with a girl called Alice. As the title alludes to, this is an episode featuring the Mad Hatter, and offers up some fun moments, a quirky villain, and a stand-out vocal performance from the late Roddy McDowall.
Scarface takes centre stage in another psychologically packed episode of Batman: The Animated Series, which makes for a wonderful watch. This is a story that often gets overlooked, but is truly one of the best episodes.
Over the Edge as a thrill-ride of an episode which barely lets up throughout its 20-minute runtime. It showcases amazing animation, stellar storytelling, and features two big reveals that make this a must-see episode for EVERY Bat-fan.
If you have never watched Batman: The Animated Series before, or you have simply missed some of the episodes listed above, I highly recommend you check them out. They are all superb stories, guaranteed to entertain.
Great episode of ODK! I loved Son of the Demon at the time, and still do, though I wish (like Killing Joke) it had been left alone as a one-off, a weird little dark alley never to be visited again. I realize, Batman having a son was just too good a story springboard to ignore, but I really do wish it had just ended there.
Fortunately, he manages to escape before they kill him and uses his dark surroundings to take out his enemies and leave Arkham Asylum, where they were being held. The premise is interesting, and the episode is well-executed with a number of villains. Also, we needed to put this episode on the list as it features the Joker in a peruke.
The story is somewhat cookie-cutter with Harley turning on Batman and Robin to reunite with the Joker, voiced brilliantly by Mark Hamill. But ultimately she changes course after realizing that he would have left her, all of her friends, and her hyenas to die when the bomb went off. It is Harley finally standing up to the Joker that elevates the episode (even if they do end up together in the end), earning its spot on this list.
Another episode for DC Universe Online was released this week to add the first of two big content drops from DC's Dark Nights: Metal comic book series. It's called "Episode 35: Metal Part I, and it contains more gear, events, and missions for players to partake in. As one of the biggest and most notable parts of the update, heroes and villains like The Red Death, The Merciless, and The Batman Who Laughs.
Daybreak Games released the big Dark Nights: Metal-fueled update this week and shared the trailer above to show what some of the new characters will look like in the game. The update's been released for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC, and it's only the first of what's to come from the game's Metal episodes.
However, the doom and gloom can be a bit much, so every now and then, the showrunners would lighten the mood. Some episodes were action-packed adventures while others provided a healthy amount of comedy. In fact, some of the most beloved episodes are some of the funniest.
The first episode of The New Batman Adventures, Holiday Knights is an anthology episode telling different stories in Gotham City on different days throughout the end of December. The stories are all entertaining in some way and bring laughs. It also gave fans a taste of The New Batman Adventures many character redesigns.
Joker poisoning Gotham with his laughing gas while Batman tries to thwart him - it's a very simple concept that many of Batman's escapades with the Joker tend to follow. It works well, especially in this case in the episode "The Last Laugh," where Mark Hamill's now-iconic Joker is both villainous but genuinely funny at the same time.
The Joker, Penguin, Poison Ivy, Two-Face, and Killer Croc having a poker night together - it's impossible for this concept to not bring laughs considering the drastic personality differences between the villains. Not only are they playing poker in the episode "Almost Got 'Im," but they each recall different stories on how they almost killed Batman.
From the banter to the amusing anecdotes, this episode brings the laughs without feeling forced. It showcases how well Bruce Timm and Paul Dini have written these villains; they are both outlandish and humanized at the same time.
Of course, the villains make sure the court case is rigged with different sorts of hijinks along the way. However, more humor is found in how the lawyer manages to overcome the villains and point out their own flaws. At the same time, the episode tackles the subject of Batman's methods and whether or not Gotham City actually needs him.
Mark Hamill shines yet again as the Joker, even starting the episode off with a delightfully wicked version of "Jingle Bells, Batman Smells." Dick Grayson AKA Robin gives wisecracks to both Batman and Joker along with a running gag about It's a Wonderful Life. The DC Animated Universe has many famous Christmas moments and they all wouldn't exist without this episode.
The episode "Harley & Ivy" is where it started, with the two villains traversing Gotham and getting into all sorts of trouble. From Ivy's deadliness and Harley's wackiness, all sorts of shenanigans happen that turn this pair up into an iconic one.
This is one of the best Batman-lite episodes, focusing almost entirely on a regular man named Charlie down on his luck as he becomes the target of the Joker after mouthing off to him. "Joker's Favor" brings lots of humor and suspense as Charlie can't tell if Joker is going to kill him or not.
Not only does the episode feature the first appearance of Harley Quinn but it ends with someone else besides Batman foiling the Joker. Hearing Joker scream for Batman's help is the biggest highlight that will make anyone's sides hurt from laughing.
Joker gets to shine as well whenever he appears. "Harlequinade" establishes the tension between Harley and Joker while showcasing how effective Harley is as an anti-hero. This episode was likely the beginning of Harley's path to become the icon she is today, starring in films such as James Gunn's The Suicide Squad.
DC Universe Online is headed to the dark multiverse in an upcoming episode that will feature The Batman Who Laughs. The episode was teased on the games official Twitter page with a 3d rendering of the Batman/Joker hybrid villain.
