Afterward The Creeper would appear in Justice League Unlimited as member of the extended Justice League, which I'm surprised that the League actually decided to include him on to the team in the first place, sadly all of his appearance are small cameos and and he didn't even get a single speaking role on there, which is a real shame since Creeper is such a interesting character and I would of love to see him interacting with the other League members and even see him get a focus episode since Creeper would be such a wild card.
Well I guess this is supposed to be the closest thing to a Freakazoid crossover and I don’t know why he took that 🩹 out and I would have wish we got that How Batman met Hawkgirl.
Also it was to that someone was able to spook the Joker
The Creeper gave me Deadpool vibes as a kid when I first watched it. A wacky anti-hero…
Great episode overall but the Harley scene was the best😊😊😊❤❤❤
Again, please please please PLEASE continue Bat-May with Batman Beyond
Creeper: "Wow! I like a girl who plays rough!"
Robin: "But- She just tried to kill you!"
Creeper: "You're young; you'll learn"
That added with "Don't you want to rev up your Harley?", and "Want a taste of my pie?" was clearly the writers throwing in some innuendos for the adults watching cause they knew the kids wouldn't get it xD
The Joker feeling genuinely terrified of the Creeper is one aspect of the character that definitely needs more attention. It's quite funny to see the Joker getting a dose of his own medicine by having to deal with a guy he created who is just as (or even more) lunatic than he is. I bet his thoughts as he tried to get rid of him were: "So this is what Batsie feels every time he has to deal with me... Damn, I'm truly an *sshole."
It's worse since the Creeper is borderline bulletproof and crazy agile, meaning he can take anything the Joker throws at him and easy catch up when he runs away.
I like the idea that his mere existence implies that the Joker was already a bad person before he fell into the chemicals, and that realization is what terrifies him.
Hell with how Uber villian joker became to match Batman,
Seeing joker and Batman show fear in the pre new 10’s is oddly refreshing.
@@changvasejarik62 Agreed. Some days, a simple nobody like Charlie Collins could scare the Joker and make Batman laugh. Nowadays, both have become OP.
@@wjzav1971 hell I remember an issue of jli where the joker turned himself in because things were getting too weird.
(Not impossible in the original JLI)
There were two moments in this episode that I always remembered.
The first one is when Creeper effortlessly uppercutted Batman in the jaw without even looking at him, while at the same time flirting with Harley Quinn. That moment caught me off guard when someone else does what Batman has done before.
The other is at the very end, when The Joker, in a state of fear, grabs Batman by the cape and calling the Creeper a lunatic. It's a short and simple scene, but it's not everyday where you see the Joker be afraid of someone else.
Even better was the Creeper telling Harley that he's "one of a kind" right before imitating Batman's signature backhand (Bat-hand?).
"He's a LUNATIC!!!" Joker calling someone else crazy, and being terrified! Hysterically funny!
The times when Joker has turned to Batman for safety and protection from someone else has always been an interesting plot point and Mark Hamill always makes it convincing with his delivery. My favorite time when joker is at someone else’s mercy has to be “Joker’s Favor” when Charlie Collins confronts a fleeing Joker in an alley with one of the Jokers bombs in hand. Collins is nothing special, by the episodes own description he’s a non descript, timid no-body. And there he had Joker on his knees begging. Even though it a few seconds later turned out to be a dummy and was a ploy by Batman to get Joker to give up all the information he had on Collins and to leave his family alone, I still appreciate it as a point that someone considered a “nobody” came closer than almost anyone else to killing the Joker for good. The creeper, like Collins in “Joker’s Favor”, was another instance where one of Joker’s victims came back to bite him in the ass.
"She just tried to kill you!"
"You are young, you will learn"
A really cool dialogue between Tim and the Creeper. Tim's face only makes this exchange even funnier, as it totally says: "Dude, the closest thing to friends of my age I've ever had were a girl made of mud and a witch boy whose cat can turn into a freaking furry. What else am I supposed to "learn" according to you?"
Could elaborate on the "a witch boy who's cat can turn in to a furry" part?
@@dedalionarts6077
I mean Klarion the Witch Boy
@@Lindord ahh that guy. I thought Young Justice was his first appierence.
I guess I was wrong.
The Creeper casually backhanding Bruce is way funnier than it has any right to be. It's so simple yet so unexpected.
Bats got a taste of his own medicine there.
@@daliborjovanovic510 bats: so thats how it feels like
Sent him flying
Imagine Bruce using a dart gun to sedate creeper instead of a zydrate gun due to him remembering how creeper just decked him
To me, Beware the Creeper is the equivalent of combining Batman and the concept of Jim Carrey's The Mask...and somehow works XD
Joker: _”HE’S A _*_LUNATIC!!!”_*
Still gets me every time I watch this episode (😄)!
Batman's like: what's that make you?
@@welcometothemetaverse2523 I know, right (😁)?
I love this episode "yellow skinned wacky man!" Has stuck with me my entire life. It also made me a big Creeper fan afterwards, its amongst my favorites in the whole series
This version of Creeper actually turned out to be a prototype of the Freakazoid character which would come out not long after this. I kind of like the idea of what basically amounts to a good guy version of the Joker, I'd like to see this concept explored more.
Thanks for bringing it up. Glad others remembered this bit of trivia.
Yeah, Bruce Timm said this. The original concept of Freakazoid would of been a show more like this episode. A more serious, dark superhero cartoon, but with a really goofy superhero who annoys and pranks villains. Basically, a good guy Joker.
While I love Freakazoid, and how it satired WB superhero cartoons of the time, I do wonder what it would of been like if they stuck with the original idea, instead of making it another Animaniacs style variety comedy show. (Though, Freakazoid Season 2 became more focused on Freakazoid and more episodic.)
The girl with Squidward's personality from the clothing store scene was the best part of this episode, being a minor character as memorable as Louis, the sympathetic little guy from the Fleischer's short film "Superman: Destruction Inc.". A girl like her who doesn't care at all about what she sees would be the perfect match for Bruce and other heroes whose love life is a disaster because they have a ton of difficulties trying to reveal to their girlfriends their secret identity.
I know, right?!
"I live in Gotham, Mr. Creepo, or whoever, I've long since seen weirder shit than you."
It interesting that she is voiced by E.G. Daily
I would’ve loved to see her and the creeper interact more.
@@stephonmanny7555 At least she treated him better than Harley. Jack should have tried to seduce her instead
I'll have to respectfully disagree, this has always been one of my favorite episodes in the show. The Creeper and his antics were hilariously twisted, and I simply loved how he scared the crap out of the Joker.
Well, it happens, there are some episodes I like he found a bit meh too
Disagree w/ what? He never said that people can't like this episode.
@@jp3813 Duh, I disagree with his opinion that it this episode was a miss.
@@xLoLRaven He said that it was a miss for him. Never said that it was a miss for everyone else.
I agree
The Creeper is such a fun character. Wish we got more of him in the DCAU.
Me too.
It would have been interesting if they did. Could you imagine the Creeper becoming a permanent staple to the Bat Family like Harley or Huntress? Seems they would be going with a Good Joker theme with him.
Me too.
I love how he has this deep voice, when almost any given chance wirters go for the derivative choice and do the squeaky jester voice. It also informs the direction and makes him a bit more interesting as something like a parody of those comic book "get buff quick" ads, and a more threatening sexual element.
Not to read too much into the sex, just that, if he was the standard it would just come off as a pervy kid. It's just present in the character without taking over as "his thing" like Johnny Bravo, almost like it stays contained when it's lampshaded as jsut one part of the character.
He's the Deadpool of the dc universe
3:12 It's pretty funny how the guy playing Batman in the recreation literally wears the original first suit the caped crusader had in his first appearances. Also, the goofy way its low-budget cloth is applied to the body looks a bit like the Batman from the 40's serial movies.
Billy West really went into the voice booth and said "Yeah, Stimpy works" lmao
Sounded more like Fry to me.
Stimpys voice was inspired by Larry
Well when I was a kid, I used to see Billy West do his Three Stooges impressions and that's exactly how he got his Ren and Stimpy role. He did Larry impression and Kricfalusi did a Peter Lorre impression.
The fact he can do the three stooges always impresses me since I can never get Larry right.
@@Brasswatchman the reason I said Stimpy more was the slight nasally manner he made that "invitation only" 😂
The new origin of the Creeper at the hands of the Joker, which would later be adapted in the main continuity of the comics, was a truly creative decision by DC. Both characters actually have quite funny chemistry every time they meet. My favorite moment between them occurs in the novel "Crisis on Infinite Earths", in which both lunatics discuss, with their classic cruel banter in between, in front of all the DC heroes and villains on the Watchtower Monitor how the truce between vigilantes and criminals to defeat the Anti-Monitor will be carried out, with Barry Allen opining with utter despair that having the Joker as an ally instead of the Creeper might not sound so bad
Hah! "Chemistry". I see what you did there.
The second Creeper series had a couple of issues where Creeper infiltrates Arkham pretends to help Joker take over only for them to have a disagreement over The Beatles and declaring war on each other with each other.
@@batman369ablenow I want to see more Creeper comics.
The Creeper is my all-time favorite comic book character. He brings this spontaneous energy to the table that acknowledges how goofy superheroes can be without needing to turn towards the camera like Deadpool. To me, he embodies the spirit of older comics- they had their silly moments, but still pose good stories, characters, and ideas.
I mostly remember this episode as being essentially an unofficial Batman/Freakazoid! crossover.
Also as being, I think, the only time in the series where Batman gets treated to his own trademark Offhand Backhand maneuver.
Nice.
I was going to make the same comment that The Creeper is more or less The Freakazoid and I love it.
The part where Batman tries to intervene to help Harley just to get nonchalantly punched by The Creeper still gets me.
@@TheBlargMarg I wander do you think with the Creeper's debut in Batman was the inspiration for Freakazoid with how cartoony(well more cartoony) he was in this episode!?
@@TheBlargMarg other way around, but yes
@697 I'm pretty sure the Creeper was first. If I recall, he originally appeared in the comics.
Harley: 🎶Happy Anniversary, Mr. J. You're really swell and OK. It's seven years to the day... Take the night off, let's play🎶
Apparently this version of Creeper was inspired by Freakazoid (or vice versa). Bruce Timm and Paul Dini were asked by Spielberg to create him and they wanted Freakazoid to be a serious action show with comedic undertones, but Spielberg wanted full comedy and thus Timm and Dini left that show
Interestingly, Freakazoid still had some serialisation going on. Primarily with Guitierrez & Roddy episodes.
Okay so THAT explains my childhood where I wondered of the Creeper was just a Freakazoid homage. I didn't know about Creeper's actual comic history and all at the time.
Vice Verse. Creeper debuted in 1968 and originally wasn't insane.
Kind of shocked we didn’t end this with, “Ok, I love you, buh bye!”
But yeah, a shame we didn’t get more Creeper. Would have been fun if we saw him more, but I guess it was fine with what we got.
That quote is the thing I remember most about this episode. It's such a great delivery and caught me off guard when I first watched it. 😆
Definitely a missed opportunity
It's a shame that Creeper was introduced when TNBA was already in its last episodes. It would have been great to have him as a supporting ally of Batman. I also would have loved an episode where the Creeper and Batman help Etrigan stop Klarion again, with the three vigilantes forming a group called something like "Gotham's Demonic Trio"
Or maybe have Batman and Etrigan team up against Ra's al Ghoul (aka the "Demon's Head")
It is a shame, but I think because of the change in art and this season having not as many hits as the OG probably caused it to be less popular.
I swear Mr J I didn’t encourage him.
That's okay. I know you're a one man loon."
"There's only room for one clown prince in this town. How would you like an all expense paid trip to Metropolis on Air Nitro?"
😂
And then later...
Joker: HE'S A LUNATIC!
That's OK poo I know you're a one man loon😂😂
This episode alone, got me into writing and I love it
The Creeper was basically a villainous version of what the original idea of Freakazoid was supposed to be. It doesn’t entirely work, but not all experiments do.
Well actually Freakazoid was going to be a more serious hero but when that idea didn't jive they just leaned full on into comedy which was to the show's benefit if you ask me.
Afterward The Creeper would appear in Justice League Unlimited as member of the extended Justice League, which I'm surprised that the League actually decided to include him on to the team in the first place, sadly all of his appearance are small cameos and and he didn't even get a single speaking role on there, which is a real shame since Creeper is such a interesting character and I would of love to see him interacting with the other League members and even see him get a focus episode since Creeper would be such a wild card.
Maybe Batman was actually the one to recruit Creeper into the League.
@@lordblu4316 If I remember correctly, anytime Creeper is a part of the Justice League it's because Batman vouched for him. The other heroes and the public in general find him off-putting but Batman knows Creeper's potential and apparently trusts Creeper enough to put on teams with other Gotham-based heroes
I love how they depict the Creeper here and really wish we could have seen more of him.
I remember the first time watching the episode and the opening minutes giving me chills. I felt so bad for Ryder given that he was Joker gassed and then pushed into the chemical vat SO MANY TIMES by the Joker. Then he gave him the exploding cigar before he winded up down the drain as the vat emptied out.
Kinda had me angry that yet again there was an innocent victim of Joker's madness and why he needed to be put down. I guess that shows how well written the opening scene was to get me that worked up over a character who made a few minor appearances as a news reporter throughout the season.
Then we see Ryder get his revenge on Joker by the end of the episode and I LOVED IT! Even better was Batman coming up with an antidote to help Jack get his life back; we know he decided to be a hero instead given the ending of the episode combined with his appearances in JL Unlimited.
Ironically enough, for as insane as The Joker claims to be; he unintentionally created a force of even greater insanity than himself!
This might be my favorite DCAU episode the part where jokers goes to Batman and calls the creeper a lunatic is one of the most underrated joker moments ever
This character was the inspiration for Freakazoid. I will always love him for that.
🎵He drives the villains crazy, cause-
Joker: "HE'S A LUNATIC!"
I always thought it was the other way around. That's really cool.
Jeff Bennett voiced the Joker in Batman: the Brave and the Bold! Please review it!!!
I can’t believe he didn’t mention creeper was in that show too
You just know the VA for the Creeper was having a ball recording this episode
That's just Jeff Bennett being Jeff Bennett!
@@mitchfletcher2386 big time dude.
I love this episode, it's so hilarious! The Creeper is like a combination of Jim Carrey's the Mask and Freakazoid.
"Ahh harley got a boo boo" hits creeper with the hammer
"Ahh creepo got a concussion "
😄😄😄
I like that the joker thugs are an omage to the three stooges
(,please do reviews for the three stooges ep)
I freaking love this episode its in my top 5 because here's a hero so crazy he gives Joker a taste of his own medicine and begs Batman to keep him away from him its hilarious
Fun fact: The Creeper was created with the intention to be a heroic version of The Joker.
Also, The Creeper crazy personality and his physical designs (including the color scheme) were used to create the character Freakazoid from the animated TV show of the same name, which was also another show produced and directed by Bruce Timm and Paul Dini.
This isn't true. At least not the first part. Creeper was actually completely sane in his original comics and pretended to be a giggling demon from beyond sent to punish the guilty. It wasn't until the eighties that the character was made genuinely insane.
Batman: "Who are you?"
The Creeper: "They call me... Yellow-Skinned Wacky Man! But I prefer The Creeper"
Robin: "Someone call Arkham, quick!!"
Joker: "He's a lunatic!"
Really wonder how this episode would look in the older animation style. Gotta say seeing the Yellow Eyed and Teeth version of the Joker freaking out would probably make this funnier.
Creeper here reminds me a lot of Freakazoid. Makes me curious how the two would interact if they were to meet.
Imagine if these two met Deadpool at a cafe. How crazy would the trio's interaction be?
Well, Freakazoid was written by Timm and Dini, so it makes sense that they feel similar. I tend to see Creeper as what would happen if Freakazoid existed in a more realistic and darker world.
well his theme fits Creeper
th-cam.com/video/rpQjsGJ5YJA/w-d-xo.html
OH, this is one of my favorite episodes! It says something when the Joker calls the Creeper a lunatic!
I met Billy West a couple of years ago at a convention. Great guy and he signed my Larry Fine t-shirt.
I could see this Creeper as a freakazoid in the Batman universe.
My favorite moment from this episode is when Joker, Harley, and Creeper are about to crash into a trash heap, the first two look appropriately terrified but the latter is too focused on biting one of Harley's jester hat things to care.
Dude was down bad
It's a shame Creeper never got a spotlight episode in Justice League Unlimited
What a memorable episode! I like the idea of a TV documentary on the Joker; I would watch it for sure! And there was so much else that's stamped on my memory: the return of the Joker's mime-thugs (I love the Three Stooges too, and appreciate that Mo, Lar, and Cur had become less menacing and more silly); Harley vamping it up in yellow custard; both Joker and Harley getting their clothes torn by the Creeper's chaotic attacks; and, of course, Jack Ryder's traumatic transformation, including his attempt to resist the laughing toxin and his mutation into a superpowered and even more insane variation of the Joker as a result of the combusting chemicals. Speaking of torn clothing, I also appreciate realism of Ryder's entire suit disintegrating in the vat, and the idea of him running around in just his underwear and a feathered boa suits his character very well. And I laughed when Creeper kept lusting after Harley even after she nearly killed him, and when Harley bragged about giving him a concussion.
By this point I was pretty much over Batman for a while, having switched my obsession to STAR WARS (which was resurging in popularity because the special editions of the OT had just been released and the prequels were about to come out). But I tuned in to this show occasionally, mostly for the Superman segments since I now preferred the science-fiction style to the crime-drama style of Batman. I missed this episode the first time around, but I did catch it years later; I did see "Joker's Millions" durng the show's original run, and I found that episode just as good as this one.
“I can’t believe it’s not freakazoid “
I wish the Creeper had a solo episode in JLU
And I was waiting for this one
I love that theres DNA of the Creeper in the initial conception of Freakazoid with Bruce Timm's early character drafts having similar Creeper energy (though not that very first creeper draft, thats a massive chungus Creeper XD )
Props to Billy West as Moe, Larr, and Curr! He was perfect! Excellent impersonation of each Stooge!
Am i the only one that always busts out laughing at not only Bats getting a taste of his own bat punch but the grunt he makes?
7:20 This episode was hilarious seeing Joker nearly wetting his pants facing someone that Out Crazies him was gold 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Btw his henchman was based and looks and sounds like Moe, Larry and Curly if the 3 Stooges....Billy West does a good Larry Fine voice as he played Stimpy from Ren And Stimpy!
And Philip J. Fry in Futurama.
@@xgray2012Plus Doug Funnie.
Jeff Bennett also voiced Ragdoll from The Batman, a triple-jointed thief and rival to Catwoman. Maybe next year Bat-May can tackle 'The Batman' and other animated Batman Shows... unless he has plans for Super-May.
Only one more to go…
An end of a era is truly coming to a end.
And a new one is just Beyond.....I'll see myself out
Justice is coming and the series will be in a League of its own, truly Unlimited.
Without this character, then the show Freakazoid would’ve never been made and that’s a fact
You know the creeper is a force to mess with when he straight up uppercut Batman in one hit
Harley rising up out of the pie ass first is the most memorable part in this episode
Gotta give props to Buttercup and how she handled that unruly customer there
The fact that this episode inspired the show Freakazoid! I like it.
Are you sure that it's not the exact opposite?!
@@xgray2012 yeah this episode came out first.
I hope that this isn’t the end. Would love to see you do more of the DC May U!
That’s not a bad pitch. He could go into the Superman series all the way to Justice League Unlimited and cover the related films as well; he’d have content for about a good 7 years.
Thanks. And it bypasses the awkwardness of they’re not being a good way to fit May into Justice League and Static Shock.
@@julesthief He might start with Batman Beyond since it is technically a continuation of the original and new series.
Whenever I watch this episode of the Creeper it gaves me Jim Carrey vibes as well as Freakazoid which I can only assume the Creeper was the inspiration of that cartoon show which I love. I do hope 1 day we get another installment of the Creeper in his own series or even movie at some point.
You would think someone would learn to cap those vats after a while
My favorite line and one I still quote to this day, "And now the weather, partly gaga with a slight chance of schizophrenia"
I really like Tim Drake's character. And yes, like you also said in a previous video, I think Tim would have become the new Batman if Bruce didn’t so strongly forbid him from super-heroics again (though I wonder if he did some super-heroics anyway). I think it's implied in the flashback in Return of Joker, as told by Barbara Gordon, that Tim wanted to be Robin again, but Bruce completely refused.
Also, Tim is really far older than he looks in that flashback from Return Of The Joker. We know those events are the last in the "present" timeline of the DCAU. It happened after shows such as Justice League and Unlimited. So, it's fair to say that Tim Drake was a young adult (17 or 18 years old, I would say) by the time that tragedy happened to him, even though he doesn’t look such. But they aged him up a bit in his Static Shock appearances.
By the way, I highly recommend the DCAU tie-in comics Gotham Adventures. Plenty of Bat-family fun! Batman Adventures Vol. 2 as well. By the way, the writers of that comic, who also worked on the shows, said that they planned to eventually have a story of Tim escaping the Joker, to show that the events we saw in the flashback of Return Of The Joker are not the certain fate of the character, it’s not written in stone.
Ultimately, I recall John Stewart's wisdom in the Justice League Unlimited show, after he discovers that he will have a son with Shayera in the future. He refuses to simply go back to Shayera, he stands his ground about how he believes that the events in history are not written in stone, and he won't let so-called fate decide his life decisions, with the future of his relationship being ultimately left open by the show. While he does go back to Shayera in the Infinity comics, his point still stands: it wasn't merely fate, but his own real strong feelings towards Shayera.
I believe the same philosophy of John Stewart is also how the creators and writers see all of the DCAU shows, films and comics, and also their advice to us fans as well. The DCAU is not meant to have a story clearly written in stone and fully consistent, it was never conceived or planned that far ahead, it always played loose with continuity.
Which of course doesn't mean that we can't have fun trying to fit the pieces together, or at least trying to understand as well as possible all the inconsistencies and points of divergences in the timeline (like how the Aquaman from Superman The Animated Series is drastically different from the Justice League shows). Watchtower Database is a great TH-cam channel for these discussions.
A favorite moment of mine from this episode:
Robin: "Which way did he go?"
(Loud explosion)
Batman: (dryly) "That way."
3:01 I think this may be the only time mask of the phantasm was ever acknowledged on the show
I was excited waiting for this episode to come
I hoe this isn't the end of Bat-May. I would love a continuation either going through Justice League or, since he mentioned it regularly as a lighter interpretation he enjoys, Brave and the Bold which is underrated and deserves more love and respect. Also it had a great short story before the title featuring the Creeper which made me a fan of this character. I'm going through this series finally so I am looking forward to this myself.
Creeper is a great opposition to Joker's whole "One Bad Day" thing. Jack was given a treatment like Joker's but even worse, but still came out as... perhaps abit mentally unstable, but still a good guy.
Would've been funny if they did more episodes if they did one where the Mad Hatter tried one of his mind control chips on Creeper, and it just didn't work because of how nuts he is.
I'm gonna miss Bat-May.
But at least we still have the Twilight-Tober Zone for a while.
The only man who can out crazy the Joker
I remember this episode. I totally shipped the Creeper with Harley back in the day. I still kind of do. lol
finally, ive been waiting for this review
One of my favorite episodes, glad to see it finally get covered!
Harley Quinn: "Happy anniversary, Mr. J / You're really swell and okay / It's seven years to the day-hey / Take the night off, let's play..
The Joker: Harley...
Harley Quinn: Wanna try some of my pie?
Harley Quinn: "I'm sure you want seconds"
YEAH! I've been waiting for THIS one!
Thanks for the video
I loved the Creeper. He was almost like a prototype Freakazoid with the Joker elements thrown in. Of course, this is easy different than he is in the comics. Still... I liked it.
It was going to be a creepershow but then they made it more of the wall funny, so they changed it to a new character, Freakazoid
The scene where the Creeper nonchalantly just one-shotted Batman behind him as if he were just flicking an ant off his shoulder sent me into hysterics!
Dude just casually did something most villains dreamed they could!
The scene in question:
th-cam.com/video/QGnoGeA-Kw0/w-d-xo.html
Loved the episode and cant wait to see the finale tomorrow!🎉🎉🎉🎉
Joker got a dose of when you f around and fight out
Man, I was really looking forward to your take on this, and I can't deny I'm sad you didn't find it as funny as I did. I've been waiting for this episode since the beginnings of Bat-May. To me the humor was on-point, the timing was hilarious, and we got great lines like:
Drake: *"She just tried to kill you!"* Creeper: *"You're young, you'll learn."*
Joker: *"How about it, Batman? You broke my face and got seven years bad luck. Are you going to try for fourteen or are you going to raise that anchorman out of the ocean?"*
Drake: *"Which way did he go?"* _[huge explosion]_ Batman: *"THAT way."*
We all have different tastes, I guess. I was sure it'd be a recommendation from you, ah well. Looking forward to the finale. :)
I like the Creeper as a sort of middle ground between Batman and Joker. Growing up this episode gave me a sort of 'channel the madness' vibe, which I never saw again until Soul Eater. The impression that Jack Ryder would be a vigilante going forward, embracing his new state, was a cool idea.
I love this character. I don't read the comics so I can't make any comparisons, but based solely on the cartoon I wanted more of the Creeper. I don't think he would have worked as a regular character as that Gotham Knights art would suggest, but I could have seen him show up a few more times. It would have been interesting to explore how Batman handles this deranged anti-hero, and with Bruce Timm and Paul Dini it feels like he was a somewhat more grounded and dangerous Freakazoid. There's something about the idea of a man with a cartoon brain existing in a mostly realistic world that feels both hilarious and frightening, because you never know what he's capable of.
Such a great episode
While I'm excited to see this, it also makes me sad as tomorrow will be the LAST video of Bat May and the last time Kevin Conory will perform as Batman
I'm a sucker for some well-done screwball comedy, and this episode really made it work. Jeff Bennett is such an amazing voice actor and I loved how off-the-rails he played the Creeper.
"Breaking news! And if you broke it, you have to pay for it. And now the weather: partially ga-ga with a fifty percent chance of schizophrenia!"
Will Batman continue next year with another Batman animated show? Ive really enjoyed these breakdowns.
Quoth the aptly-named Scooby Doo villain: "CreEeEeEeEper!" I can't believe tomorrow wraps up BatMay. At least we'll still have TwilightTober Zone (and possibly a month dedicated to the Stooges?!)
That clothing store clerk was numb to Gotham City's craziness
It's nice to see at 4:43 how Creeper might have looked like in BTAS style, whcih makes you wonder how other characters from DC animated universe could look like in this style.
Shocking to see Batman the recipient of the no look punch.
For me it one of myh favorite episodes....While its not the BEST espiode from a long way. I love how from it we got Freakazoid as a concept. Sometimes I just want a fun episode that i can just sit back and enjoy.
I would totally love to see Bat May style reviews of the rest of the DCAU and movies. Even if it comes to an end here, I would love to see a different themed month going forward.
Love everything about this episode. Probably in my top 5 of the series.
Although I think he works best in small doses, it might have been nice to see Creeper as a sort of wacky foil to the Bat Family, kind of like how Deadpool is with the X-men, he annoys them all but he’s quite useful due to his powers.
I really like this episode in spite of itself. Completely outlandish but the Looney Toons aspect eventually won me over.
'You have to wonder what it'd be like *IF* Creeper and Deadpool were to ever team-up...
I get some definite Animaniacs vibes here, and Bruce Timm actually turned down an offer to produce for that show, so this provides a hint of what that might have been like.
