Talk:List of Batman: The Animated Series episodes

message: I would suggest that this show does not merit separate wiki pages for each episode, and that those pages are fairly repetitive now (each has a long list of reference links which are identical and therefore unnecessary).  The same is being done by consensus at List of Justice League episodes, where airdate information and the like can all go onto one page. Dyslexic agnostic 05:42, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Help needed in Justice League Unlimited 

message: The main reason is that authors didn't intent the order on wich the episodes actually aired.
Prove of this is the fact that they used the one they originally planned on the DVDs:
Disc 1 - On Leather Wings, Christmas With The Joker, Nothing to Fear, The Last Laugh, Pretty Poison, The Underdwellers, P.O.V.
Disc 2 - The Forgotten, Be a Clown, Two Face: Part One, Two Face: Part Two, It's Never Too Late, I've Got Batman in my Basement, Heart of Ice
Disc 3 - The Cat and the Claw: Part One, The Cat and the Claw: Part Two, See No Evil, Beware the Gray Ghost, Prophecy of Doom, Feat of Clay: Part One, Feat of Clay: Part Two
Disc 4 - The Joker's Favor, Vendetta, Fear of Victory, The Clock King, Appointment in Crime Alley, Mad as a Hatter, Dreams in Darkness
Whenever the series is re-run in order that's the followed order. The producers intended characters and events appear in certain order, I'd like to keep it as a way to pay respect. How ever the airdate is data we can't change. We'd be following the production order but still mentioning the airdate.

thread_title: Change order

message: I just finished filling the tables. In case you forgot it. Before me this page was a plane copy-paste of the episode synopsis you can find anywhere on internet...
It was I who design and did mos of this work:
# Redesign the tables
# Put all images (I also categorized each one), but on leather wings
# Added all the credits, airdate and episode number info.
#Created the format that will be used when the subarticles finally develope.
#Put all the annoying yapping you can read in this talk page :P
I basically took the page from this to THIS.  --T-man, the wise 23:52, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Finally, some pilotfish editing I can take (I don't approve it, but it was kinda useful to me though) Only be careful with the drastic changes. The citation needed and the part you took off were uncalled for. I understand what led you to believe so, but you can ask me first when you don't undertand or doubt something. If you're going to keep your pilotfish work against advise (and my wishes) I'd appreciate if you could tone down comments like "significant". It's just typo correcting, very necesary but is not major working as writting. Same thing with the naming those were massive edits you were making and you were wrong all along. Please, be more careful in the future.--T-man, the wise 03:13, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

I agree, I've been watching the episodes again and they are about 21 minutes long on average...

thread_title: Summaries

message: Many or all of the existing individual episode pages for this series appear to fail the notability guidelines for television episodes, and have been tagged accordingly.  These articles can be improved through the inclusion of real-world information from reliable sources to assert notability. Overly long plot summaries should be edited, to a maximum length of approximately ten words per minute of screen time. Trivia should be integrated into the body of the article, or removed if it is not directly relevant. Quotes and images should only be used as part of a critical analysis of the episode. You might also consider merging any notable information onto the show's "List of episodes" or season pages.  Otherwise, when these pages come up for review in fourteen days, they may be redirected or merged. If you want any help or further information, then come to Wikipedia:WikiProject Television/Episode coverage.   Thanks.  TTN 18:37, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: While some of them (On Leather Wings, Beware the Gray Ghost, and The Cat and the Claw for examples) probably could stand to have an article on there own, I agree that Wikipedia may not be the most appropriate place for full-page episode articles on this. However, World's Finest should not be merged with this page, as it is (production-wise) an episode of Superman: The Animated Series (I also think it should have enough real-world notability to stand on its own, being a near TV-movie like thing).--Tim Thomason 03:14, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I cannot believe the individual episode pages were removed from Wikipedia.  What was the point of doing that???  My friend and I used those pages as a reference point for a bi-weekly podcast that we do.  Now we can't use them anymore, because, hey, some guy didn't like them.  Good job.  I'm sure Wikipedia is MUCH better off for not having those pages anymore.  What an utter disgrace.

replies: text: But the separate articles weren't replaced with plot summary content on the list-of-episodes page.  They were replaced with nothing.  If, as you say, the guidelines say the content should be edited and moved, deleting the content entirely is clearly the wrong move and it's clearly going to upset people.

message: Why are the Static Shock crossovers listed so high o nthe lsit.  I thought that they'd be towards the end after The New Batman Adventures.  I've always assumed that Teen Titans was part of this continuity, an episode of Static states that Robin is "with the Titans", and that Robin joined the Titan's after Joker died and Batman forbade him to be Robin (necessitating it for him to go on his own).  I know this is OR, but this order of this list (to an extent) seems to be so too.  Emperor001 (talk) 18:38, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Continuity

message: Why are the episodes not listed in order of airdate? The article doesn't seem to explain why the numbering is not consistent with the airdates, but at a glance, the airdates have a better chronology order, given that POV (which is listed as episode #7) involves the Ventriloquist, who was introduced in Read My Lips, which is listed as #64. I also find it bizarre that this issue deosn't appear to have been raised in this talk page.--Macca7174talk 12:12, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: "POV" doesn't involve The Ventriloquist at all. Just FYI. And, even if it did, going by "airdate" still places "POV" in front of "Read My Lips". Lastly, going by airdate doesn't make any logical sense. Breaking it down by Production Date does mainly because of the overall story chronology. You can't start with "The Cat and the Claw, Part 1", then wait ten episodes for the conclusion. I never understood that order. 76.102.129.73 (talk) 20:31, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

message: "The Lion And The Unicorn" is credited to "Diane Duane, Philip Morwood and Steve Perry".

message: "These episodes and the last nine of the first season were released in the correct production order as part of the Batman: The Animated Series Volume Three DVD boxset. Select episodes of the second season on the DVD boxset feature the first season's opening theme, mainly the ones that don't feature Robin"
Not sure I understand, but is this only for the DVD release?  Were all episodes for season 2 originally broadcast with the Batman and Robin title card (not specifically the one shown on the DVD release)?
Similarly, how were The New Batman Adventures originally telecast?  The DVD offers the option of displaying the Batman / Superman Adventures titles, which I understand to be a rerun of previously aired episodes or the original "Batman" no titlecard openning.  I find this rather confusing overall. --RedKnight (talk) 16:45, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: "Were all episodes for season 2 originally broadcast with the Batman and Robin title card" No. The five episodes that aired in May 1994 had the first season intro. The WB aired The New Batman Adventures with the Batman / Superman Adventures titles. --Meadyforzbs (talk) 20:03, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Season 2 title card 

message: "Due to character introductions and pacing, the original air dates are generally considered the preferred viewing order for the series.[1]"  
Has anyone looked at the citation for this assertion?  Not only does it come from an internet forum and not a reliable source, but the source given doesn't even support the assertion.  Whoever put this line in had a problem with reading comprehension.  The first post in the forum discussion is asking what the preferred viewing order for Batman is, and says while he knows the the airing order is *usually* the preferred viewing order (for shows in general) he knows this isn't always the case.  That seems to be the entire basis for the citation, as the responses to his question all indicate the production order is the preferred order. 24.214.53.75 (talk) 01:20, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

message: What are the canonical sources for the episode titles? I'm rewatching and noticed that the title-card titles for episodes 10 and 11 are "Two-Face" (no part number) and "Two-Face: Part II" (with roman numerals). The DVD liner notes have the versions we have in this list, "Two-Face: Part 1" and "Two-Face: Part 2" (with a part number for the first episode and a normal two). Do we treat the DVD liner as being canonical over the episodes as their aired? Or should we adjust to match the title cards? JRP (talk) 18:32, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

message: The New Batman Adventures is considered a separate series from Batman: The Animated Series. It started airing two years after the original series and features a different animation style.

message: There is a mistake in this Wikipedia article. The last line of the introductory paragraph to Season Two (1994–1995) says "The entire second season was released on DVD as part of the Batman: The Animated Series Volume Four set." This is false. The episodes described after are all on the Volume Three DVD set, not the Fourth. I have it in front of me... They are numbered episodes 10 (Sideshow) to 29 (Batgirl Returns) in the set. I'm new to Wikipedia can someone please double check this and change it thanks. Caszper (talk) 00:50, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mistake in Season Two description 

message: The episodes should be listed in order of Air Date, sectioned into respective Seasons aired, with Production Date information included as entirely secondary.  This is an obvious, normal way to present the information, and it's what everyone expects when they look up the list, so that they can then find and watch the episode they'd like, as it is in the actual collection of episodes aired.  
Wikipedia is currently wrong and other sources have it right.
