  What is the best episode of Batman: The Animated Series? And perhaps more spicy, what is the worst?

  “The laughing fish” is basically the Joker being a Karen to a copyright clerk for an entire episode

  Still the best depiction of Batman and his world to this day.

  "I failed you. I wish there were another way for me to say it. I cannot. I can only beg your forgiveness, and pray you'll hear me somehow, someplace... someplace where a warm hand waits for mine"

  Dick&apos;s falling out wasn&apos;t just because Bruce knew Barbara was Batgirl. That was the straw that broke the camel&apos;s back because in that same episode he missed Dick&apos;s College graduation, called him while he was on a date with her, and went too far during the interrogation that episode.<br>The whole point of that episode was that Bruce was focusing so much on the Batman side of his life that it ruined his relationship with Dick. Dick had a similar arc in Robin&apos;s Reckoning but the two patched things at the end.

  Batman “condemning” Clayface isn’t out of some rigid moral structure, but because Matt Hagan is a dangerous criminal who cannot be permitted such power without limit. Even before he became Clayface, Hagan committed crimes on behalf of Roland Daggettto continue his addiction to the chemical that allowed his face to appear unblemished, and he was willing to go so far as to be an accessory to murder (if not straight up murder) an innocent man for him. While the tragedy of Hagan as an addict and a victim of Daggett is there, we cannot let that overshadow what a bad person he is. The isotope wouldn’t restore him to human form, but permit him unprecedented control over his powers, which would surely permit the morally corrupt Hagan to be unstoppable. &nbsp;Batman was willing to help him, but not on Hagan’s terms. And to further drive the point home on how much of a monster Hagan was, he attempted to murder Batman by suffocating him, going so far as to laugh maniacally at his horrific act.

  I don’t necessarily have a favorite episode of BTAS, but an episode that I think is underrated is a Bullet for Bullock. I like it because it explores Bullock, a character that’s more for comic relief in the show. Another aspect I like about the episode is its jazzy musical score.

  I always loved that Simon Trent was the only man Bruce ever revealed his identity too voulentarily. Its just such a sweet note to end on, Bruce telling him without stating it out right, as if to say &quot;your a good man, I know you&apos;ll keep this secret safe&quot;. Agh Grey Ghost is such a good episode.

  One of the episodes that i liked most, it was &quot;Joker&apos;s Favor&quot;, by the fact that it also showed a real life lesson, about be careful to insult to random person in the streets, because you can&apos;t be sure if this person is a thug that only want an excuse to harm someone, a gangster that carries a gun, or a psychopath that won&apos;t doubt in kill you, for insulted them.<br><br>Much like happened to Charlie, whom to cussed out the Joker, ended in serious problems with the clown prince of crime, leading him to moves other place to lives and changed his name, showing that he was living with fear, as result for his rashness to insulted someone in the streets.

  My favorite part of Joker’s Wild is that they acknowledge how making a Joker themed casino in Gotham is pretty insensitive. That always bothers me when they show merchandise based on supervillains in superhero media
