The 1. 0 Best Episodes of 'Batman: The Animated Series'With over a hundred episodes produced from 1. Batman: The Animated Series is commonly regarded as not just one of the greatest cartoons ever made, but one of the best depictions of Batman in any medium in the character’s 7. Under producers Alan Burnett, Paul Dini, Eric Radomski and Bruce Timm and with a note- perfect voice cast led by Kevin Conroy as Batman, The Animated Series racked up classic after classic, with stories that were marked by being truly accessible and exciting for all ages. It changed super- hero media forever, and created a legacy that continues today with Timm’s work on the new Green Lantern cartoon. In short, it’s absolutely phenomenal and we love it. But even with the high standard of quality set by the series, there are some episodes that stand out beyond the others as the best of the best. So today, I’ve gone through the entire series to bring you Comics.

Alliance’s picks for The Ten Best Episodes of Batman: The Animated Series! The Forgotten. Story: Jules Dennis, Richard Mueller & Sean Catherine Derek. Director: Boyd Kirkland. Any top ten list for something as beloved as Batman: The Animated Series is going to provoke its fair share of disagreement, and I fully realize that there are people who are going to count my opinion as absolutely worthless for giving one of the episodes that’s commonly regarded as the worst of the series a top slot over classics like Harley’s Holiday or the award- winning Robin’s Reckoning. But to be honest, there are two kinds of people in this world: Those who think Cool Hand Luke starring Batman is awesome, and those who don’t. As much as you can decry this episodes as being a shameless, blatant. It breaks almost every rule of the series.

It’s not set in Gotham City, there’s no arch- criminal, there’s barely any actual Batman (most of the issue is spent with amnesiac Bruce Wayne), there’s a complete lack of logic in the fact that nobody recognizes one of the richest men in the world or puts things together when he goes missing and Batman shows up, and it even has scenes with actual sunlight. There’s a good reason why most fans of the series write it off, but it not only proves how adaptable the show’s version of Batman really was, it shows a crucial side of Batman’s character. The title of the episode points it out: The men who were abducted to work as slaves were forgotten by everyone — except Batman.

He’s not just a billionaire who gets his kicks by putting on tights and punching out guys who want to blow up the water supply, he’s a man utterly dedicated to saving those around them from the criminals who would ruin their lives. It’s heavy handed, it’s illogical, it’s goofy as all hell, but when Bruce Wayne remembers what he does and why he does it, and Conroy’s voice shifts back into his almost snarling Batman growl to tell the other prisoners “We’re getting out of here,” it also brings us one of the best moments in the entire series. Over the Edge. Story: Paul Dini. Director: Yuichiro Yano. While we’re on the subject of stories that shouldn’t work, we have Over the Edge.

Under normal circumstances, a story that ended with “but it was all a dream!” would be automatically consigned to the dregs, but here, it works. Part of that just comes from context. Paul Dini’s script is working with a world that has already established dreams, hoaxes and imaginary stories as viable concerns, both in the larger tradition of super- hero stories and on Batman: The Animated Series specifically. The truly amazing Perchance to Dream, in which Batman battles his way out of an dream world because it’s quite literally too good to be true, had not only set up the rules, but provided the perfect context for what happens in this one. But what really makes it work is its sheer brutality.

Like The Forgotten, Over the Edge lives up to its title: Batgirl’s death leads Jim Gordon onto a grief- stricken path of revenge that sees him declare outright war on Batman, discovering his secret identity, destroying Wayne Manor, bringing down Nightwing and Alfred in chains. It’s the worst case scenario for the good guys, and it’s not the villains bringing them down, it’s that they turn on each other out of vengeance. And unlike most stories that use the device, the fact that it all happens in Barbara Gordon’s dreams doesn’t detract from the drama — they add to it, and builds her character in an interesting way that before then, the show hadn’t really addressed. It reinforces the danger that she’s living with as a character. Not the physical danger of death or injury, but the emotional danger of the deception that comes along with hiding her identity from her father, and how it’s his trust in her and in Batman that’s at risk.

Created by Reinhold Weege. With Harry Anderson, John Larroquette, Richard Moll, Charles Robinson. An eccentric fun-loving judge presides over an urban night court and.

It’s an interesting exploration of character and consequences that doesn’t talk down to the audience even when it’s conveyed in sequences built on violence and shock value, a tightrope that only the best stories manage to walk. Showdown. Story: Kevin Altieri, Paul Dini, Bruce Timm and Joe Lansdale. Director: Kevin Altieri. Generally speaking, it’s a bad sign when Batman barely shows up in your Batman story, but Showdown is one of the most memorable episodes of the series, for a lot of reasons. For one thing, it’s got one of the best set pieces, and that’s saying something. Owing to the influence of the Max Fleischer Superman cartoons and movie serials of the ’4. Batman: The Animated Series was built around those dynamic, memorable set pieces.

Even mediocre episodes like Prophecy of Doom, in which Batman fights a balding con man duping gullible rich folks out of their inherited millions (basically the opposite of The Forgotten), features that incredible scene where Batman fights a guy in a gigantic planetarium where Saturn had razor- sharp, damsel- threatening rings. Why the hell did this small- time confidence man have a planetarium deathtrap set up? Who cares, Batman punched a dude right through Uranus!

In this episode it’s steampunk airships in the wild west raining cannon fire down on locomotives, which makes for a great visual — and despite the fact that the first frame of the opening credits had a blimp in it, it’s not the sort of thing you usually saw in the dark, art deco noir setting of Gotham City: The second thing Showdown accomplishes is that it fixes one of the few problems with one of Batman’s greatest villains: Ra’s al- Ghul. The first rule of good writing is that you show instead of tell, but because Batman’s adventures take place in the present — whenever that present happens to be — we just have to take Ra’s’s word for it when he says he’s an immortal who’s been kicking around for 5. By this point in the series, we’ve seen him go into a Lazarus pit and come out a little stronger and a little more nimble, but that doesn’t show that he’s an immortal. He tells us and we go with it. In this issue, even though it’s related as a flashback told by Ra’s, we’re shown everything, and made to understand that yes, this guy has been working these schemes for longer than Batman’s been alive. It both validates his claims and suddenly makes him scarier — if he was able to do everything he does in this episode a hundred years ago, what can he do with the resources that he has today? There aren’t a whole lot of recurring characters on this show that don’t have layers crafted into their personalities, and the hint of pleading that David Warner gives to Ra’s al- Ghul’s voice when he speaks to Batman, his worst and most persistent enemy, adds an immeasurable amount to the character.

The most memorable element of this episode, though, is who acts as our protagonist in the absence of Batman: Jonah Hex. Before The Brave and the Bold, before Justice League, before Superman: The Animated Series, there was Jonah Hex on Batman: The Animated Series, and our first hint of a larger animated DC universe beyond Gotham City.

Best Sponge. Bob Square. Pants Episodes - Top Ten List. Stephen. 2The Top Ten. Band Geeks. I LOVE THIS EPISODE! Band Geeks, Secret Box, Idiot Box, Best Day ever, and the camping episode should be at the top. This deserves to be number one.

I'm watching . Haha I love Spongebob and Squidward together! Best episode of T. V. V 3. 54 Comments.

Chocolate with Nuts. Best episode ever even better than number.

Ps who the heck put the ! And in the end he asks if he could buy all of their chocolate and Patrick is so surprised he dumps all the chocolate bars out of his pants and even poops out a kisses chocolate. This is the part where I crack up. There is one other episode not on the list that I think is hilarious, and it is Krusty Love, which should replace Best Day Ever. In the end of this episode, Sponge. Bob is so mad he curses at his own boss Mr.

Krabs in front of Mrs. Puff when she looks at a dictionary and her cheeks turn red and Mr. Krabs's mouth grows wide open. Funniest episode of spongebob I have ever seen! Though band geeks is great too especially that song at the end..

Best line ever next to My Names Not. How is this not number one? It has more memorable moments than any of the other old episodes. This episode has a classic plot just like camping episode or band geeks. The part where Spongebob runs over Squidward with the boulder was hilarious, and the song is simply priceless.

This song is loved by all Spongebob fans, and so is this episode. Watch Hot Shots! HDQ. If your a Spongebob fan that instantly means you've seen and love this episode. My favorite episode of Spongebob will always be this. It should be number 1.

This episode is SO funny! I love the part when Sponge. Bob is explaining to Squidward about a movie that he saw about pioneers and when he tries to convince Squidward to eat the coral instead of the the tasty pizza! The Krusty Krab Pizza is the Pizza for u and me. Perhaps my favorite line ever. This should be number one.

The Marshmallow shot through Squidwards clarinet and protruded at the back of his head gets me every time. Awesome song to boot.

Most hilarious episode. I'm 2. 5 years old, and every time I see this episode, I totally bust out laughing every time Squidward gets repeatedly mauled by the sea bear! Spongebob: I don't know.. I guess he just doesn't like you! Hahahaha PRICELESS! THIS EPISODE IS GREATV 1.

Comments. 5Frankendoodle. We'r watching it right now. Finland! Oh wait, they always do that. Number 1. 4 the night shift, is the graveyard shift in a different way.

So you may have mixed it up. Wicth makes this list have 6. Even though its mixed up, it is a great episode and you can check out the top 1. My top ten are. 10, suds. Graveyard shift. 8, rock Bottem.

RIPPED PANTS( including the song that makes me feel better. This is my favorite episode. This episode is so funny, and the plot is so amazing. Sponge. Bob Square.

Pants use to be such a good show, but there was an obvious decrease in the shows quality after the Sponge. Bob Square. Pants Movie.

I can't believe how bad the most current episodes are. The episodes clearly don't have the same great storylines that made the show so popular more than a decade ago. This episode deserves to be number one, it has always been my favourite episode. V 8. 3 Comments. 7Krusty Krab Training Video. WHY CAN'T WE HEAR THE KRABBY PATTY SECRET FORMULA?!?! This episode flat- out lacks a fourth wall, which is something I really love.

Also, People Order Our Patties is one of the funniest moments on the show. The first episode I ever watched, and the real best in my opinion (Sorry Pizza Delivery, Band Geeks, and Wishing You Well) - charlesjrosenbaum. Am I the only one who found this episode boring?

I'm 1. 8 now, and it's mostly used for privacy with my girlfriend, but I do exercise my imagination with it when I can. It filled my life with imaginaatioon. PERFUME DEPTARTMENT! Great Episode. Do we get business cards? Haha. THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST EPISODE OF SPONGEBOB!

I watched it a million times and I couldn't stop watching when Spongebob and Patrick howl with the Flying Dutchman! My friends were staring at me weirdly but I was hyperventilating.. That was a close one!

And that scene with Mr. Krabs cursing is hilarioius! My favorite part of it was when they first started swearing in the first place. Watch La Guerre Est Finie Hindi Full Movie there. If you noticed here, many of the best episodes have memorable humor.

Though I have a different sense of humor . I will nitpick that the humor takes over the story and makes less supportive, but hey, who doesn't love a good laugh? Spongebob: How the (Dolphin Noise) are you.

Patrick: Pretty (Dolphin Noise) good Spongebob - logan. V 6. 4 Comments. The Newcomers? Code Yellow? Unreal Estate. The Contenders. 11.

SB- 1. 29. I thought this one was hilarious, really cool with a lot of neat scenery. Squidward's even funnier than Sponge. Bob here! Squidward: Future!

This was one of the lines ever. This episode reminds me how much I miss the old Sponge. Bob. I grew up with Sponge. Bob and this has always been my favorite.

It should be in the top ten. Love the song: It looks like it's gonna be a wonderful holiday,Not your normal average everyday. Looks like someone fell my old coral tree,Sponge. Bob, Patrick why'd ya do this to me?! Lol. Love this episode. V 4. 3 Comments. 14. Survival of the Idiots.

Who are you callin' Pinhead for voting for this? Nobody, because it's so dang funny! There are a couple of funny episodes in Season 4, but the rest of 4 and up are all terrifyingly horrible. Not funny at all. But hey, check out seasons 9 and 1. Like Jammer. 19. 6 said, Who you calling Pinehead?

Who ya calling pinhead? That didn't help at all! Laugh out loud. Once There was an ugly barnicle he was so ugly that evreyone died. The End. Best Line Ever! Possibly my favorite episode, because of blue fish and The Ugly Barnacle. Once there was an ugly barnacle. He was so ugly that everyone died.

Dying for Pie. What the hell is wrong with you all? This episode's my favorite, and it's sad seeing it so low. My personal favorite!

And you kill'em. Too many one liners, just watch it. This one is a CLASSIC PEOPLE! It has a message to it and it's so sad when Sponge. Bob says he will die due to the carelessness of a friend. That is so sad my heart feels so heavy whenever I watch that part. Love this one is my favorite HOW IS IT NOT #1?!

Needs to be. I love the part when spongebob yells at the end. V 3. 6 Comments. 18. F. U. N. F. U. N to me is what Sponge. Bob Square. Pants is all about.

The episode is about Sponge. Bob feeling sorry for Plankton because He doesn't have a friend so He takes Him to Jellyfish Fields to show Him the meaning of fun and after they started hanging out together then Mr Krabs spots them and tries hard to break their friendship but one day whenever Sponge. Bob and Plankton go to the Krusty Krab Mr Krabs gives Plankton a Krabby Pattie then He takes Sponge. Bob to the kitchen spying on Him Sponge.
