Batman - 1x17 See No Evil - Group Reaction

[@ThousanWhite]

The Elizabeth Moss connection as the voice of Kimberly with The Invisible Man is some INSANE trivia.

[@rhaspodel]

The Invisible Man/Saw director probably knew about her role in this episode or it's just pure coincidence.

[@jorgegodoy6824]

@@rhaspodel He may I think, because the invisible suit idea is similar to the movie

[@Johnlindsey289]

I’m sure he’s a fan of this series

[@MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive]

Johnlindsey289 Who isn’t? Even adults I have known who aren’t big fans of cartoons, comics, and superheroes have fond memories of watching B: TAS.

[@Heritage367]

In the original story of The Invisible Man written by H.G Wells, the chemical that allows him to become invisible also drives him crazy. So this is very much an update of the original story.

[@jonmercano1138]

I thought the chemical causing madness was a movie addition and in the novel he’s just kind of drunk with power

[@SomeRandomMario]

"she knows cuz he just came from downstairs, that's how she knows" lmao Mikey a savage

[@phousefilms]

Ironically, Kimmy, Ventrix's daughter in this episode, is voiced by Elizabeth Moss, who just recently went against the "The Invisible Man"in the latest remake.

[@Dreamwever10]

Mickey’s comment at 14:17 cracked me up 😂 “you’ve seen too much.”

[@ChocoGxd]

love when Mikey Is there 😂

[@manuelperez6241]

This episode back in the day when it came out I was a kid, scared the crap out of me. Something about the music and the invisible guys creepy face and eyes.

[@martianmanhunter37]

Andrea Romano is probably the best casting director in American animation history. All of her shows are impeccably cast. It's always the right voice whether the choice is obvious (Adrienne Barbeau as Catwoman) or outside the box (Mark Hamill as the Joker). Through her work with Warner Bros in the 90's she spearheaded the transition from the cartoony voice acting of shows like Scooby-Doo, Transformers, He-Man etc to a more natural, radio drama reminiscent, "serious" voice acting style that has become the standard in all non-comedic cartoons.

[@orboobleck5366]

I did not realize until you pointed it out the change in voice direction. There was quite a jump in quality in the 90’s. Cool to learn.

[@tehdipstick]

I mentioned in a comment for the "Be A Clown" episode that the reason Jordan looked off was because they hadn't figured out how to draw children yet. They did better in "I've Got Batman In My Basement" and "The Underdwellers", but from what I remember Kimberly was the first child character Bruce Timm was really happy with when it came to the character design.

[@R.J.Godzilla81]

When you mess with kids, Batman takes that extra personally. This is one of those episodes that you don't really appreciate as a kid, but when re-watching it as an adult, you realize just how good it is. This is why Batman the animated series is not only the best animated superhero series, but is one of best animated series PERIOD!

[@Johnlindsey289]

It’s always been one of my favorite episodes since I was ten when it first aired

[@jstarwars360]

Forgot about this one. Next Week: Holy crossover Batman!

[@Amadeus_A]

I do think we are supposed to feel sympathetic towards the villain even a little bit. To me, that's been the main theme for the Batman rogues' gallery; no matter how evil the villain is they always come from a place of sympathy. Harley Quinn's domestic abuse, Mr. Freeze's lost of a loved one, Two-Face's mental health, etc.

[@sgcastle8389]

"All it takes is one bad day"; the bad day that made batsy the hero; made the other the villains, we could all relate to that.

[@fabulousmyriad267]

The selling point of BtAS was Batman's compassion towards the Rogues Gallery...and the writers actually fleshing out the characters of Mr Freeze, Mad Hatter, Harley Quinn, Clockman,Babydoll etc.

[@BaeBunni]

@@fabulousmyriad267 i mean so many btas characters are loved they are in the comics, even small characters like condiment king and lock-up

[@Avenger85438]

Aside from the scifi and superhero elements, this episode gets disturbingly real with the desperate and dangerous parent trying to kidnap his daughter from her mother.

[@gibbs615]

I remember this episode. See the thing is for Ventrix it's already been way too late for any redemption with his wife and kid ever since he became a corrupted criminal who would never change and that invisible suit only made him worse. It was just a good thing Kimmy was raised and taught well by her mother.

[@WhiteFangofWar]

16:20 'Damn it, Clark always makes this look easyyyy!' Finally a one-off villain who isn't a pure hate sink. He's still nasty though, unlike Mr. Freeze who repeatedly warned Batman not to get involved. Ventrix doesn't seem to get the idea that his wife wanted a separation because of his habit of thievery.

[@rhaspodel]

There are some great Batman Beyond notes in this. Bruce used this same invisible technology to update into his Beyond suit; a future Batman Beyond villain will used a similar suit that allows him to go through solid objects (the Beyond episode "Sneak Peek"); plus an added bonus, the actor who voiced this villain voiced Walter McGinnis, Terry's father. By the way, "Peakaboo" quote I love that. Batman is so cheeky.

[@GreatGarloo]

That sound clip at the end. Now you have to watch the 1933 version of The Invisible Man starring Claude Rains and Gloria Stuart (Old Rose from Titanic). The special effects still hold up and Griffith is a wonderful villain. You should all react to it. It is a short one at 71 minutes. This Batman episode was great too. I remember being amazed at the animation in it.

[@Ani8900]

Fun fact: the assistant janitor that explain how the invisible suit worked or rather the invisible plastic, is the same guy who voiced brainy Smurf in the original Smurfs cartoon, and certain other cartoons that he may have started

[@jeremy1860]

This one really creeped me out as a kid, and still does today if I'm being honest 😟

[@kevinstull8552]

Elizabeth Moss also played one of President Bartlett's daughters on the television series The West Wing.

[@MiniSerloneBurger]

I can't wait for you guys to see next week's episode!!!!! It is one of my favorite episodes of the entire series!!!! I know that you'll enjoy it too!!!!!!!

[@JedHead77]

The dad was voiced by Michael Gross, one of the *nicest* TV dads on Growing Pains.

[@rhaspodel]

He also played Terry McGinnis's father in Batman Beyond. True fact.

[@Dagenspear]

"What are the odds?" God is funny that way.

[@questworldiangreenknight7455]

This episode creeped me out as a kid, I want a live action version of the invisible man that’s based on this plot 😳

[@terrybriggs6649]

Not every father... there's no coming back from some shit no matter how much you atone.

[@TheDeconstructivist]

Yeah, Momma Ventrix isn't purely the good-guy in this situation. Daddy Ventrix is a jerk and a thief, but supervised visits or something should have been on the table. Taking a kid away from a parent completely (and telling a child bad things about the parent) can absolutely be bad for a kid. She wants revenge on Daddy Ventrix, but the kid is gonna suffer. To be clear, her decisions are the lesser of two evils (compared to his), but she could have handled it better for the child's sake.

[@eastsidereviews727]

Yo I think this is what future Batman uses in the new Batsuit in Batman Beyond!

[@normansmith9009]

probably an improved version of this tech, one that's not poisonous to terry

[@KEEPTALKIN8215]

Hopefully after this series they move to the rest of the DCAU, that would be amazing.

[@ArlanKels]

After the weak villain Red Claw we swung into the Invisible Man and then we swing into the best man in Batman history next week. Beautiful times.

[@anthonyhudak9363]

A show you should consider reacting to is the TMNT series from 2012. It's one of those Nickelodeon shows that's "not a kids show" more so than Avatar

[@TheJokerAkaCirque]

Moreso than Avatar? That's a bold claim. Might have to investigate

[@anthonyhudak9363]

Go ahead and trust me let's just say there are episodes that make you question it's a Nickelodeon series

[@JonCombo]

Love the animation on this one.

[@TheeKorovaMilkBar]

17:38 Just wait until they introduce The Creeper.

[@DonUmbra2346]

I did not remember this series having so many villains that weren't from the usual rouges gallery. And these have been some good episodes.

[@TheJokerAkaCirque]

This was a long series, they had to have some monster of the week types to fill out the schedule. Part of the reason stuff like Joker episodes work is cause he doesn't show up all the time (and other characters show up even less- Two Face only gets three storylines that aren't villain teamups)

[@WhiteFangofWar]

@@TheJokerAkaCirque Exactly, it would get old if it were the same set of rogues causing trouble all the time. I noticed that a lot of the one-shot baddies like Boss Biggis and Red Claw are devoid of the sympathetic qualities the rogues have, but Ventrix is a bit more relatable.

[@waterbeauty85]

Micky's remark about "not perfect" invisibility makes me want you to watch "Predator" (1987).

[@JimmyXWolvie]

Hey Normies, PLEASE make sure you all watch Batman Mask of the Phantasm before moving on to season 2 of the series.😉

[@mandalorianprotector77]

Why does it seem that everyone with the name ventris is a villain in shows. Should I be concerned my last name is ventris.

[@WhiteFangofWar]

You're fine, just don't wear an insanity-causing invisibility suit and don't get thrown into a dimensional vortex by your partner and return as a creepy child for revenge.

[@robertkenny1201]

I wouldn't be surprised if Ventrix inmates murdered him for child endangerment, since he's never seen again after this episode.

[@dungeonmaster16]

if i remember right this episode does kinda connect into batman beyond on how the new batsuit cloak tech is established. the cloak suit/fabric here is a early prototype of it. also if reading this batman beyond been added to hbomax not to long ago. if you want and have time you can watch it now without needing to fully complete this or after superman and justice league animated series. they do mention some past things but in a way new viewers can know whats going on without needing to know alot or fully on it.

[@amaelboisson5439]

You say Ben Affleck's Batman murder people, well Keaton's Batman too, and he enjoys it ^^ This episode feels so creepy, it's so well directed and animated, one of the best episode of the show :)

[@Ratchet2431]

My problem with Batffleck's writing is: Why The Joker is still alive in that universe? It makes no sense.

[@Crimson28]

Fun fact: Batman later solves the toxicity problem and incorporates the invisibility into the Beyond suit

[@NappyJChan]

i cant remember what university it was but i did see that they can make really small things invisible.

[@DorkKnight99]

HOLY SHIT, Elizabeth Moss was the kid?! Great fucking catch, guys!

[@EspanolBot]

Yeah, she's in this movie as a kid, and then 27 years later she's in another project involving an abusive stalker in an invisiblity suit.

[@spikedpsycho2383]

trivia: the stealth plastic would return in "Batman Beyond"

[@rhaspodel]

Funny, Bruce probably condemned this toxic plastic yet still used this invisibility technology to update his suit for Beyond.

[@MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive]

rhaspodel He may have found a way to make it safe.

[@XMrJust]

This Episode was so scary

[@Avocado11]

I wonder how many people working on properties like Hollow Man or Spider-Man 3 got ideas from this episode. 18:43 Hit her with his batawang. Next one is a good one, posters from that episode are all around in Arkham Knight.

[@hasthehighground8560]

After you guys finish Batman the animated Series I recommend you watch the other DCAU shows. Superman the animated series, Batman Beyond, Justice League.

[@JedHead77]

Keaton’s Batman murdered people. Affleck *looks* like Batman in the comics. There are many side-by-side comparisons, and its uncanny.

[@stdinkov]

It's all good but I just don't understand why there is a times on the left of the TV screen. It doesn't show the real points where the episode/s scenes are placed. Is there any specific reason?

[@bencebotye3904]

Don't take me wrong, it's good to see yet another original villain. However may because of his face, or the absent of any emphaty block me to root for this guy! I can imagine a different version of this. About an ex-criminal coming out of jail, and trying to reunite with his family, only using the suit so he can see his daughter. But ultimately the system pushing him back to the way of crime. This is still a great episode, the animation is amazing, and like Suraj sad the voice acting is on top!

[@GabrielCarloImperial]

Just remember the old saying. She be careful what wish for

[@darr12100]

Can't wait til you guys watch feat of clay.

[@SnarkKnight1]

The tough on crime/people with a record are irredeemable attitude is present all throughout this show and Batman Beyond and it really dates them as being written in the 90s.

[@Kladyos]

Batman offers redemption plenty of times, just not everyone accepts it. Remember the episode about the drug dealer who came clean after his son became addicted? That was earlier this season and proves you wrong.

[@dungeonmaster16]

11:10 well there isnt much on who played lucius. besides morgon the only other lucius fox in live media from my knowledge is the actor in gotham series. side thing: in dc future state comics for The Next Batman lucius son is the batman in the story. note: if a hardcorist fan replies and gets prissy someone else is batman this is a alternate timeline/earth of future state. bruce is still main batman in main continuity.

[@gutz1981]

As much as they wanna play this dude as a villain, why on earth should he reform is no matter what, he will never see or be with his daughter? I never thought this was "Just" to keep kids away from their fathers. If there is never a middle ground given, then fathers like this dud have no reason to not wanna go to extremes.

[@Scott-ql2kx]

Are you dumb? He sure could have seen her if he reformed. He didn't, wouldn't, and never gave any sign that he was ever going to do so. Not to mention he also had a restraining order, and constantly grabbed at his ex-wife while she was near him, so it's not like he was some regular divorced dude lmao.

[@gutz1981]

@@Scott-ql2kx Are you dumb? You really think its so simple in that "Just reform and you will see your daughter." This guy may have been a petty criminal and never been any kind of abuser and that is all any judge would need to grant a restraining order and give full custody to the mother and NEVER let this dude see his daughter if the mother said "I want him out." There are stories of mother in-laws convincing their daughters to leave their husbands because a psychic said the dad was doing something "nasty" to the kids. And the daughter believed it and mother and daughter convinced their kids to "Hate daddy" and force the judge, despite no physical evidence to take away the k!ds. Even the judge wrote a letter to the kids to read when they turn 16 that he was sorry he took their father away, and that there was no evidence, but he had to do it and that the kids should try to reconnect of their own accord." Look it up, you will see a number of different stories of how kids are taken away from dads and in number of cases, after losing hope, those dads go to extremes to either see their kids or get them back. So no, I am not dumb. I am allowing myself to accept that there may actually be other possibilities to a story as to why a father would go to such extremes.

[@manuelperez6241]

Little girl reminds me of movie Poltergeist.

Okay Batfleck was alright, the killing was iffy yes but that's not on his acting that's on his script, he was still kickass and a suave billionaire, no Kevin Conroy of course but still not a Clooney. Also I have to note that the Animated Superman series was epic too, some classics there and in Justice League Unlimited, not to mention Batman Beyond and Teen Titans ironic that Elisabeth Moss voices Kimmy and then stars in The Invisible Man, the 1933 version is also the 7 o clock movie in the episode's Drive In
