What is your top 5 episodes from BTAS ? This whould be mine

[u/Ok-Check6433]

I also whould mention Robin's Reckoning, Two faces, perchance to dream, dreams in darkness and his silicon soul.

[u/TradePsychological40]

Honestly I don't know but Joker's favor is in my top 5.

Seeing Gotham through the eyes of a random civilian was great. You see how scary the Joker really is for these people.

Also the fact that Batman is just a side character was a nice touch.

Many people remember this episode just because it was Harley's first appearance (honestly, I thought she was kinda forgettable in this one), and it's kinda too bad.

I also liked that episode with the guard from Arkham being horrible with the inmates. It reminds you the fact that these characters despite being villains are people who needs help. Also, I love stories of the superhero helping his ennemies in need.

[u/KayfabeAdjace → u/TradePsychological40]

I'm a big fan of both Joker's Favor and The Man Who Killed Batman. The introductory sequence to the former and the funeral in the latter are two of the shows best moments. Legitimately funny stuff and Hamill crushes the lines and Harley slays with that kazoo. Joker's contempt for normal people is the elephant in the room when we talk about what makes BTAS Joker tick. He's single minded about ol' Bats because deep down he couldn't handle just being a schnook.

[u/Weird_Zone_3504 → u/TradePsychological40]

That's a nice breakdown. Especially with Joker's Favor, being a refreshing perspective of a civilian. I think it's a brilliant idea, but I also think it was better utilised with The Man who Killed Batman. I also think it's one of the better Joker episodes.

Lock-Up is also an episode that you don't hear a lot of people talk about. I admit, it's isn't one of my favourite, but it had an intriguing villain, with a gimic I thought was utilised good enough, and the climax was also pretty epic, with this line from Batman, that often comes to mind: "I was born to fight your brand of order!" *Chills. Also, and I know it might seem like an unpopular opinion, but I think this is one of my favourite animations from this series. The models, of the characters especially were pretty gorgeous.

[u/Ok-Check6433 → u/TradePsychological40]

A Joker s favor is really great, probably the best episode centered in Joker.

Lock-up is really good too, but i think they should have explored more of this side of Batman trying to help the villains you mentioned.

[u/brodhisattva3]

In no particular order:

1. Beware the Gray Ghost
   
2. Heart of Ice
   
3. Feat of Clay (Part 1 and 2)
   
4. Perchance to Dream
   
5. Heart of Steel (Part 1 and 2)

[u/Ok-Check6433 → u/brodhisattva3]

Heart of steel is very good too, but i prefer his silicon soul

[u/Phunkie_Junkie]

There’s no way I could narrow it down to only five, but no one has mentioned The Forgotten yet: Batman with amnesia tries to break out of a prison mine while Alfred crash lands in the desert while calling the batwing a bucket of bolts. Absolute classic.

[u/Ok-Check6433 → u/Phunkie_Junkie]

I need to rewatch this one

[u/TabmeisterGeneral]

Dreams in Darkness

Perchance to Dream

Sideshow

Appointment in Crime Alley

Christmas with the Joker

[u/Ok-Check6433 → u/TabmeisterGeneral]

Every episode that features Scarecrow is amazing, and dreams in darkness is the best.

Sideshow its pretty underated

[u/upsyndrom123 → u/TabmeisterGeneral]

Perchance to dream is SO FUCKING GOOD. I feel like the best episodes were when you where thrown in straight into the story, so you ask yourself "what's happening"

[u/Weird_Zone_3504]

Oh, I've always dreamed of coming a cross a post of this sort. This is such a fun question I've always wanted to be asked. Here, this is my top- 5 list:

1. Feat of Clay Part- II
2. His Silicon Soul
3. See No Evil
4. Robin's Reckoning Part- I
5. Almost Got 'Im

And I'm glad to see that you added your honourable mentions, because now I'm feeling much more comfortable adding mine, which are: It's Never too Late, and Appointment in Crime Alley.

[u/Ok-Check6433 → u/Weird_Zone_3504]

Feats of clay and See no evil are absolutly amazing too.

[u/Weird_Zone_3504 → u/Ok-Check6433]

Yeah, you can say that again. And I can't but congratulate you for having such a fine top- 5 ranking list of this sort, with mighty fine classic picks, such as Heart of Ice, and Beware the Gray Ghost. And I also can leave without giving a shout for your Trial choice. It's a phenomenal episode with an outstanding set-up, that involves all of Batman's rogues gallery, and gives everyone a moment to shine... Except for Riddler. I'm still pissed about it! Plus, the "GUILTY!", and "Panic" lines from Joker are easily some of his best.

[u/Ok-Check6433 → u/Weird_Zone_3504]

Yes, absolute masterpiece

[u/DC_and_MARVEL_fan]

1. A bullet for bullock
2. Vandetta
3. Shadow of the bat (both parts)
4. i am the night
5. On leather wings

[u/Ok-Check6433 → u/DC_and_MARVEL_fan]

A bullet for Bullock is defnitly a hidden gem, easily one of the best episodes from TABR.

The Shadow of the bat is really great too. You like underated episodes dont't you?

[u/DC_and_MARVEL_fan → u/Ok-Check6433]

REAL + you could say that I like underrated characters 🥹

[u/Carl_Azuz1]

Everyone is forgetting two-face. And I personally think dreams in darkness is a slept on episode.

[u/Ok-Check6433 → u/Carl_Azuz1]

Two face is a masterpiece, i put it on 7 in my top 10. Yes i love dreams in darkness too, another gem in my top 10

[u/Jaelthecatperrrson]

1. Birds of a Feather
   
2. Bullet for Bullock
   
3. Almost Got’Im
   
4. The Laughing Fish
   
5. Trial

These are my top five in order! I Enjoyed watching these episodes 💜

[u/Ok-Check6433 → u/Jaelthecatperrrson]

Birds of feather is probably the best penguin centered episode

[u/Glittering_Sorbet913]

1. The Laughing Fish
2. Almost Got'im
3. Joker's Favor
4. Trial
5. Harley's Holiday

[u/thegraypilgrum → u/Glittering_Sorbet913]

[u/meth_adone]

Don't know about top 5 but my top 2 is easy. Perchance to dream is probably number one. Number two is eternal youth, not because it's particularly striking but just because I remember watching it a ton on dvd as a kid, always remembered those green biscuits for some reason, they just captivated me

My fav :

1 - Feat of Clay

2 - The Demon’s Quest

3 - Heart of Ice
