do we get a new episode tomorrow?

New.  "Tests"
Bruce tests Katana's loyalty; Batman battles Anarky.

While the show continues to use different villains from the usual, the episode stories themselves aren't that special, in my opinion.  Still, the finale to Batman vs. Anarky was cool, even if the writers make the same mistake as the TDK writers by thinking anarchy and chaos are synonyms (All these guys are comic fans, right?  Haven't they read V for Vendetta?  Alan Moore, via V, clarifies the difference).

Plus, more Tatsu is always good.  I'm not expecting her to become Katana in the next couple episodes, but hopefully she'll get to use the sword and take on the persona soon so she'll have more to do than hang around Wayne Manor and investigate things we already know.

I'm curious if they'll bring the Joker onto the show, would they go with the comic canon that Anarky is his son?  This Anarky seems to be around the same age as Batman, so Joker may be older, if he's this guy's dad.
That awkward moment when you remember the only Batman who's never killed is George Clooney...

damnit i missed it again! >:( >:( >:( >:(

Isn't that one of those unconfirmed things? Apparently Denny O'Neill was opposed to the idea and it was supposed to be unproven - though the Anarky series was discontinued before it happened.

for me the jury is still in deliberation after three epis. i'm struggling to get into it, as much as i want to.

anyone else love the wonder woman shorts they show during a commercial break though? i have never liked wonder woman but these make her so badass lol.

I have only seen the first episode. I don't have any desire to keep going. In fact, I've recently started re-watching BTAS.

Watched a few episodes. Wrote a brief review elsewhere, posting here too:

I'm not at all surprised that the villains this show has opted to use aren't more widely known; none of them are that interesting IMO. Anarky in particular struck me as a very, very, very watered-down, "kid-friendly" knock-off of what Nolan and Ledger were going for with the Joker. I would extend that "uninteresting" sentiment to Katana as well, and I don't care for the characterisation of Alfred. Of the episodes I've seen - the humour isn't funny, the dialogue overall is dull, the voice acting is hit-and-miss (and unfortunately, Batman's misses more often than it hits) and the animation is, frankly, terrible, with uninspired design and unemotive character work. The focus on the detective side of these characters is refreshing, but it's not nearly enough to make up for the many defects of this show. IMO.

so is that an endorsement or not? :P

I was thinking about this show today, and how I need to sit down and binge watch it. It's one aspect of Batman media in recent times that I haven't properly explored, and will seek to do so.
