The DCAU Review

Liam and Cal continue with their month celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the Future Dark Knight Batman Beyond with a review of the final two-part episode of the series, "The Curse of The Kobra." Together the hosts dissect the plot which revolves heavily around setting up different story elements that may or may not make much sense to the long term Beyond story, visuals that seem to up the ante a bit on violence and several members of voice-acting royalty that appear in minor roles for the episode. The hosts also discuss the late-3rd season Bruce/Max acrimony dynamic, disappointment in the reveal of who Bruce decides to train Terry and some really unique soundtrack elements.

All of this and a preview of the upcoming annual DCAU Review Black Friday Special on this week's DCAU Review!
