The Time Robin Went Too Far... 

Who Is Your Favourite Robin Villain?

As intense as this episode was, I wish they could've done more with Crazy Quilt in the comics today aside from Kevin Smith's gross attempt

Personally, I would love for the Batman Rogue's Gallery to start attaching to other members of the Bat Family. There was a fun throwaway line about Kiteman trying to become Spoiler's nemesis in Wayne Family Adventures, and I think that there is real potential for other villains to connect differently. Two-Face and Red Hood always seemed ripe with possibilities to me.

What's always fascinated me about B:TBATB is that a series with a bright and campy Dick Sprang-esque art style ends up having a lot the tragic and bittersweet history from the comics. This is a world where there was a prior Justice League that disbanded, a JSA that lost a team member, prior Blue Beetles that died, and a Robin estranged from Batman. It's a lot of lived history and depth you wouldn't think of from just a general synopsis of the show.

Honestly, there are so many villains that get thrown away and used as jokes due to the perceived goofiness of their costume/gimmick, Crazy Quilt, Killer Moth, the Cavalier, so it's always wonderful to see them get some good stories.

I love that Richard uses on theshow, during his last years as Robin, the outfit of his Golden Age adult version from the Golden Age. Pretty cool homage!

I love The Brave and the Bold. The utilization of lesser known characters is very appreciated.

I think a Music Meister retrospective would be fun. He's a character that premiered in BTBATB and only has a handful of appearances (since he's a sound based character he can't really be in to many comics). It would be like the Livewire retrospective. Shadow of the Bat and Night of the Batmen would also be cool episodes to highlight.

I liked the way The Brave and the Bold had the relationship with Batman and Robin being like a parent that still treats their adult child like a kid. Plus it was nicer than how they showed how Green Arrow treated Speedy. 😁

One of my favorite aspects of 2014’s “Son of Batman” DCAU adaptation is that Deathstroke is really a Damian villain. That felt like a nice callback to Slade being a Titans villain. But it was also very organic, how DS’s ambition to lead the League of Shadows put him in conflict with Damian. Batman’s really secondary in that conflict, and it’s a nice way to center the “new” character in Damian.

Well, that's why I love the history of Batgirl and Killer Moth. No matter what Batgirl, a Killer Moth will play a role somehow someway in a story with them. Babs had a few, Cass got her's at last in Batgirls (originally she had one but it was never published. A "lost" Cass Batgirl story involving Killer Moth in his Charaxes phase targeting kids), and Steph just got ANOTHER Killer Moth story this past week in that Beast World: Gotham one-shot.

I remember Crazy Quilt getting a mention in DC Super Hero Girls. He was a teacher at the school instructing students on costume design. I thought it was tripppy having villains, but unchallenged experts in their fields, teach. Like of course you'll have Weather Wizard teach fighting in inclimate weather or Crazy Quilt on the finer points of costume design.

Loving all the Batman: The Brave and the Bold content of late

I remember hearing all of the debates about Teen Titans' Robin's identity. I remember hearing that he was supposed to be Dick, but his costume, use of a staff in battle, and a few other things made him seem like he was more based on Tim. I don't know enough about it to be sure though.

This is my go-to TBATB episode to show people that the show is so much more than just Silver Age camp (even though I adore the camp, don't get me wrong.) It's still the lighter hearted good for the sake of good Batman, but has *such* well done character dynamics between him and Robin, making their father son dynamic feel.....like a father son dynamic. Love it.

Ones to look at: Batman's strangest cases. Which I mentioned the other time as my favourite. It does after all have Lord Death Man. And then there's Mitefall. The final one. Which gets so much into why shows get cancelled. And it has Ted Mcginley, so what's there not to like? Plus a wonderful final scene.

Love these Brave and the Bold episodes. I recommend "Legends of the dark-mite", "The Super Batman of Planet X", and Requiem for a Scarlet Speedster". Honestly, all of the episodes are so much fun and good.

Crazy Quilt is one of those characters that should be a throwaway, gag character, but has more pathos and potential the more you discover about him. I hope he gets a break out adoption like Mr. Freeze in Batman TAS or Kite-Man in Harley Quinn someday

I think it would be interesting to see something from the 2003 The Batman series. I always remember liking that one. It's not quite as good as 90's Batman but I think it has a charm to it. Said series always felt like the middle bath between Batman: TAS and Brave and the Bold. Kind of serious at times but also kind of campy. Actually, I think it went more campy the longer it went, and much like Brave and the Bold it wasn't afraid to use more obscure villains. Hi spellbinder, cluemaster, clock king(Sort of.)

@10:37 "It's also nice to have the dynamic where someone hates Robin more than Batman" Nobody hates Robin more than Batman does, NOBODY!

I'm all on board with more Batman: The Brave and the Bold videos. Aside from hoping there's a possibility for a focus on the series version of Aquaman, I'm also looking forward to seeing coverage of the 'Evil Superman' episode.

I love the animated Brave and the Bold! This Robin was very good. It filled some gaps between the various DC changes. But my favorite will always be "The Man From Gotham!"

I'd like to see a video on Beware the Batman. Maybe about Magpie's duology episodes and how they expanded on her character compared to the comics or other villains like Professor Pyg, Anarky, Humpty Dumpty, etc. Also, it's the show's 10th anniversary, so that would be cool. Though I'm also enjoying the Brave and the Bold videos and more would be great!

Batb was such a fun watch. I’m stoked you’ve been diving into it and letting people know it slaps

Oh my gosh, new favourite wig! And sounds like I should probably give the Brave and the Bold cartoon a watch at some point. Sounds like they strike a good balance between having interesting character based stories and staying fun and lighthearted.

I'm glad you're getting into brave and the bold could you do the Christmas episode with Red Tornado it's my favorite

You got to do the "Hail the Tornado Tyrant" episode... Is one of the best episodes for me because it has Red Tornado and just emotional gut punch at the end. 😢 I am loving all of the deep dives you're doing on Batman Brave and the Bold, keep up the hard work!

I got into Tim Drake as Robin through the third miniseries so KGBeast has always stood out as a Robin villain for me.

Cool to know Dick had villains when he was Robin.

I am loving the dive into Batman the Brave and the Bold! I did not know the comic history of this episode! Super fun and no one ever talks about Crazy Quilt, the unsung bad guy of of those crazy classic comics

This would be a great nightwing origin story movie. I've been wanting one for ages

I did not know about that one-off Crazy Quilt that appeared in Blackhawk. Interesting! They do look similar (right down to the moustache!), but he doesn't have the helmet or light gimmicks that his predecessor had. Probably just a coincidence...a bunch of writers, all constantly trying to come up with new villains/gimmicks, are bound to hit on the same ideas once in a while (how many "Sandman" characters have there been at this point?). The guy who fought Robin is pretty explicitly the same one who took on the Boy Commandos, though, and that kind of "villain crossover" was unusual back then. I see that first CQ vs. Robin story has been attributed to writer Ed Herron, and I believe Herron also worked for the Simon & Kirby studio...maybe he had a hand in those original Crazy Quilt stories, too, and thought that CQ was worth re-using once the Boy Commandos series had ended?

Id love to see you look at that super sad final episode of the series, the one that really leans into breaking the 4th wall with all the crazy shenanigans.

Cool video 😯 never knew Crazy Quilt was rogue of Robin 😮 Dick’s challenging transition and necessary step for getting away from Bat-shadow. The “World’s Finest: Teen Titans” comic was showed Batman does try to respect Robin, but Batman has a strict code for Dick/Robin 😑. Also, in Titans: Beast World, Batman has kind words for Nightwing. 😊

Honestly I think since you’re on a Batman TBatB era and it’s Christmas, you should do Invasion of the Secret Santas from S1. I think it utilized the revolving door of side characters well for what the episode was and caught me off guard rewatching it

Please discuss the "Siege of Starro" storyline! (The 2-parter itself, and the events leading up to it.) That storyarc was, for me, the high point of Batman: Brave & the Bold (despite the sad ending); slowly building bit by bit in the background, worsening all the while, and then BAM! Starro! The Faceless Hunter! The diaper truck! (😁) How can Batman and his allies get out of this one? And what allies--if any--are left? 😊

Thanks Sasha for another Brave and the Bold. You rock!

That doctor that worked on Crazy Quilt in the comics bears a strong resemblance to the famous surgeon Steven Strange.

Love your work! I hope you’ll explore other less talked about animated Batman stuff like Beware the Batman and The Batman 2004!

Love to see Mitefall, it’s such a fun episode, and it’d be cool to spotlight ambush bug. It has a favorite batman moment in there for me “Batman, you have to listen to me, this isn’t you! Bat mite is pushing you away from who you really are!” “Go away!” “I give up. How am I going to convince you of what’s real or not when you don’t even know you’d never use a gun.”

I enjoy the Batman brave and the bold content. It deserves it flowers. Great video! 👍🏾

Never knew this was a real story! Neat!

The Robin episodes of BTBATB are my favorite episodes from that series. The evolution of Robin from "Boy Wonder" to "Teen Wonder" to Nightwing is by favorite character maturation. Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman and every other DC hero were locked in time and would nerve get any older or evolve but Robin was allowed to grow and evolve as no other character could. I've been down a Bronze Age rabbit hole lately. And the Robin Bronze Age Omnibus has been awesome for me. I really love those solo Robin backup stories. I would love for DC to collect all of Robin's Golden Age solo stories in another Omnibus. Don't know if you have ever covered it but I would love to see you cover the evolution of the relationship between Batman and Robin(Grayson) in the comics. The behind the scenes shenanigans are equally as interesting as the on the page events. Robin's "growing pains" is a fascinating time in the character's history.

My mind is only Nicolas Cage's Big Daddy from Kick Ass screaming Robin's Revenge in a loop after seeing the thumbnail

Agreed “Once a Grayson always a Grayson “ was a lot.

I like the idea of a Silver age Villian having a vendetta against Robin, and id like to see this explored in other media.

I’m gonna be honest due to me only ever watching brave in the bold on network television as a child. I never even knew that Robin was in the show because I never saw episodes of him so this was genuinely such an interesting video to watch. So I guess what I’m trying to say is thank you and keep up the good work❤️

Birthday Spanks? Gotta love the "...Or Papa Spank era of Batman.”

Thanks for another great episode. The enthusiasm in infectious.

I am surprised how casual everyone is to robin blinding a guy. Like, batman paralyzing a guy is what drove him to retirement in Batman Beyond. I'm wondering if this batman, in that situation, would retort "with crime you can't just... Walk it off" and go off to eat some hostis fruit pies.

Id like to see the different media depictions of Batman as a Green Lantern. And how he stacks against Hal and Guy.

"Quiet, Dick...or Papa SPANK!"😂😂😂

I am fairly certain every single Adam West show villain used the "Boy Blunder" line. It is so cliche that they should have done the Roxanne "twenty something betters" bit on this guy.

Thank you for covering more B:TBaTB! I love this series

seriously loving your hair colorings, you rock the multicolored look perfectly

I like the portrayal of Dick Grayson more here than in Batman the animated series. He was always so angry in BTAS.

Your wig and Crazy Quilt is putting my color correction into maximum overdrive.

The "one to grow on" spanking thing always makes me think of Michael J. Fox. He hosted a PSA series on Saturday mornings in the 80s using that phrase as a tagline. Wouldn't fly today, lol! I always enjoy your vids, thanks so much!

I would really like to hear your thoughts on the Music Meister. Everything from the sound track and the balancing of tone are a blast. And have Neil Patrick Harris as the titular villain is the cherry on top.

"Nuance, my favorite spice" Has Sasha the Salt Vampire moved on to a different seasoning?

I love this episode! the relationship between Batman and Robin is my favorite part.

I think it's the same logic as candles, where you spank up to the number and then add one for good luck.

Birthday spanks aren’t something I’m that familiar with but I have had birthday arm punches. Usually it’s one for each year plus “one for good luck” and “one to grow on”

I had almost completely forgotten about ol' Quilt. But if he thought he was bad off dealing with Li'l Dickie, just imagine this D-lister trying to deal with DAMIAN WAYNE!‼️😆🪦

Fab video though a Brave and the Bold video about Aquaman would be OUTRAGEOUS!

I know this will get lost in the sea of comments, but thought I'd make the suggestion anyways: I would love for you to do a sort of retrospective going over the series finale of Brave and the Bold (which has Bat-Mite going meta as the mouthpiece of both the creators and audience about why this series was ending and what new form the Caped Crusader could appear in next) and the transition (and subsequently uphill battle) into Beware the Batman, an underappreciated but favorite series of mine that was cut down short due to many of the same reasons Bat-Mite pointed out in B&B's finale. I just think it would be interesting to go over not only a lesser acknowledged part of Bat-history but also analyze how fandoms can evolve, subvert, and even mire the very things they love (for better and worse). Great video btw, love all the B&B coverage with some top tier episode choices. (But seriously, hearing any of your thoughts--good or bad--on Beware the Batman would be awesome!)

The sidecar was the best joke. In that horrible old 'Legends Of The Super-Heroes' live action, at one point, both heroes end up having to ride in the sidecar - I love that Batcycle.

Bonus birthday spanks 1 for good luck and 1 to grow on..... Never made sense to me.

Now I really want to go back and rewatch the entire Brave and the Bold animated series. But I did learn something. I didn't realize that Crazy Quilt wasn't always a Batman villain. I'll have to look up the original stories, especially the Blackhawk story. As for other villains to cover, how about Calendar Man, or Killer Moth. I always have the impression that Killer Moth was a Batgirl villain.

Okay, now I need a video deep diving into the birthday spanks. I too am not familiar with the concept

Dope video. I actually just watched this episode not too long ago, so this breakdown is a nice little treat

Adult Robin in this episode reminds me of Robin's falling out with Batman in the original Teen Titans cartoon

5:35 😂😂 b&b was savage af fore no reason

Ok, now you HAVE to do an episode on the Nightwing episode

I recall that Crazy Quilt from the 1940's was a villain who seems to always fight kid heroes besides Robin he fought The Newsboy Legion.

I would love to see Crazy Quilt and Professor Ojo team up against the teens! Also, birthday spankings! You spank up to what they are currently turning. Then an extra for good luck in the coming yeah. (Sorta like you take the pain now so there's nothing left but good to balance your new year).

oh nice my birthday and you pop one out haha love ya girl thanks for the vids!

I remember when Crazy Quilt bleachef Robin's costume. I'm that old.

I'd like to see Sasha's take on Mayhem of the Music Meister episode 25 of season 1 because that musical based episode is so ridiculous. Few times I saw the idea of joining Superhero genre with musicals really working but the show embraces the ridiculous of it so proudly it is difficult to not laugh.

The only thing crueler than depriving an artist of his sight is making bad puns as you do so.

"This leaves no wiggle room. This is Dick." 😂

If you want to stick with Batman the Brave and the Bold, I'd love to see you do the last episode with Paul Reubens as Batmite and Henry Winkler as Ambush Bug.

I mentioned both these stories before, but since you're taking requests: My favorite Robin story was never adapted from the comics: Batman Chronicles: The Gauntlet. I also would like to see you review the Super Powers Team episode "The Fear" as it's a different take on Batman's response to Crime Alley. On the Brave & The Bold front there is that story where Joker gets Bat-Mite's powers and gets really dark in killing Batman over and over. Alternately one of the episodes that shows how thirsty all the women on this show were for Batman, even Platinum/Tina of the Metal Men, whose...got daddy issues of her own let's just say, in the comics.

Which episode should you cover next? Every episode with Aquaman is great. Fall of the Blue Beetle Deep Cover For Batman/Game Over For Owlman Legends of the Dark Mite Siege of Starro 1&2 Requiem For A Scarlet Speedster Darkseid Descending Mitefall Sidekicks Assemble When OMAC Attacks/The Fate of Equinox Inside the Outsiders Menace of the Madniks Battle of the Superheroes Triumvirate of Terror And last - Bold Beginnings - I know I already said any episode with Aquaman, but I specifically refer to the intro adventure with Space Ghost... Because Space Ghost! (Modified from previous post)

I forgot how similar Crazy Quilt is to Rainbow Raider.

I have no idea but this robin suit always stood out to me in every adaptation idk why but it fits best in the brave and the bold style would be a good figure

One of the reasons I love B:TB&TB is the use of C-List Bat Rogues like Crazy Quilt. The Dr. Double X episode is a big favorite.

If you want something really campy and fun, the legion of substitutes special from the 80s is zany fun.

You could probably cover the Starro arc. That would be interesting.

Earth 2 Robin suit is cool, seeing it used was cool.It was originally intended for 70s Robin i believe, but it didnt qork out, Im pleasd Earth 2 Robin put it to use.

The hair choice was perfect 👌

Your batman voice is sooo good 🤣

If you’re looking for great bat-fam episodes, try The Knights of Tomorrow. It’s fun, interesting, and Bruce grows a mustache.

The first rule of birthday spankings is don't talk about birthday spankings.

you are getting way too much mileage out of that Titans clip XD

I'm just intrigued by the way you change up your look for each video.

Crazy Quilt is awesome and needs to return to comics. I can think of several ways of souping him up power-wise, that feed directly into his abilities and modus operandi

You've got more hair stylings than I've got shirts. Well done.

I had a Whitman edition of Batman 316 as a kid.

The episodes that I'd you to explore are: Music Meister, Trinity and Freedom Fighters
