Depending on your current location the weather outside may or may not be frightful, but a new episode of the DCAU Review is always delightful. This week the Good Brothers are discussing the second full-length feature film of the original Batman: The Animated Series run with the chilling title "Batman & Mr. Freeze: SubZero." The hosts discuss a bit of the history of the movie, how its' predecessor Mask of the Phantasm cast a large shadow, where the main crew had moved on and how the movie came about based on some attempted corporate synergy. The hosts discuss how the plot attempted to focus on Robin and Batgirl with mixed results, the use of the most state-of-the-art CGI animation that 1997 had to offer and why the movie's delay caused some confusion on whether the movie was canon to BTAS at all to a young Cal and Liam. The hosts also discuss the decision to start from scratch with the soundtrack vs. sticking with the established themes, another new voice actress for Batgirl and the ultimate legacy of this film in the DCAU zeitgeist. All of this and more, plus a preview for next week's inaugural series review on this week's all new DCAU Review!
