Wha........????????????  Does anyone know if/when this aired in
Northern California (on Fox 2 or any others)?  I could've sworn that
Part One of "The Cat and the Claw" last Saturday morning was the first.
I saw nothing in the newspaper regarding anything previous to that.

I have four on tape so far (and until today thought they were the only
four that had aired   ;-(       ):

       9/5/92   The Cat and the Claw, Pt. I
       9/6/92   On Leather Wings
       9/7/92   Feat of Clay, Pt. I
       9/8/92     "  "   "  , Pt. II

Any help appreciated.  E-mail is cool....

All the guys who normally work the control room were big fans of Cher

I think you missed:
-Batman drops passed-out crook into a rooftop pool from the Batwing, and
the crook neither hits the bottom of the pool and hurts himself, nor
drowns from inhaling water (lets see YOU hold your breath after you
faint), but instead swims to the surface of the pool immediately.

-Cosmetic company puts out a revolutionary new product that acts as a
home face lift kit, and neither the FDA nor the AMA bothers to check
this thing out.  (How many plastic surgeons do you think are going
to sit back and let this thing be marketed?)

Of course, the entire thing boils down to two words:  Marv Wolfman.
'Nuff said.

Miraculously fast cell reproduction?  But WHERE does he get the energy to
perform his feats, given that he need neither food nor sleep?  Electrical
charges, perhaps?  Note the way the little lump shifted around every time
Bats prodded it with the probe.

Now, a gripe of my own:  creating claws and bone-like structures is one
thing (after all, they're made of cells), but METAL CLAWS?!

Okay boys and ghouls, the time has come for us to decide on a

Suggestions: BTAS, ANIBAT, Hmm...maybe someone who watches the

Remember, a Subject header shouldn't be a common combination of

OK, admit it: when you first saw the opening credits for BATMAN, THE
ANIMATED SERIES, you said:

    "It's THE TICK!  Look at that jaw!"

Of course, hearing the guy they got to do Bruce's/Bat's voice only confirmed
your suspicion.

A couple of other observations:

    Boy, sure are a lotta evil industrialists running all over Gotham.  Gosh
    darn Republican administrations.

    Batman would actually say, "How's it goin?"   To Gordon?  I think they
    out to remind the dialog people that Bill and Ted come on *afterwards*.

    The animation isn't gorgeous throughout, but they know when to throw in
    a good sequence.  I actually thought the look of the show (backgrounds)
    looked a bit more 50's than 30's (ala THE SILENT INVASION), but on
    second looks, I have to agree -- there's some nice work there.

    They're moving the voices around some.  Hammill plays the Joker and an
    evil industrialist.  Ron Perlman as Clayface (har-dee-har-har.)  Clive
    Revill (sp?) or Efram Zimbalist Jr as Alfred.  Ed Begley Jr. as a
    henchman.  Ed Asner playing a really wonderful villain's voice.  And so
    on.

But what a chin!

	The animation on the new Batman series is mind-blowing.  Spectacular
lighting effects, neo-deco stylings, actual motion.  Some very intense scenes
in the opener.
	The voice artistry is extremely well done.
	The whole mood is very true to the comics, and it is worth noting that
the aspects of the series not lifted from the comics came off the worst 
(Isis and Red Claw, from the opener).
	The dialog has some real clunkers, though, some lines just too precious
for words.
	Overall, beats the hell out of anything else on weekday afternoons.

I'm not.  Any announcement of new work from Alan Moore is a GOOD THING.
