Another great Gentleman Ghost episode!

9.0

"Superb"

By jjsthekid, May 17, 2009

This episode was pretty good. Even though i didn't really enjoy the opening part, the main part was awesome! They use gentleman ghost alot in this show. Also, it was cool to se Dead Man and Green arrow. Even though Green Arrow appears alot. I loved how Green Arrow and his sidekick (Forgot his name) saved Batman! It if wasn't for Green Arrow and his sidekick, Batman would be dead. It's good that he survived. I wonder what happened to Gentleman Ghost when he got pulled into the ghost world? Oh well, i guess we will find out next time.

The opening is horrible, but the main part of the episode is fairly entertaining.

"Fair"

The opening with Kamandi, hated it. It wasn't funny, it wasn't exciting, it was boring and I was glad when it finally ended. The main part of the episode, was pretty good, but not withot some flaws. Let me just say that Gentleman Ghost is my second favorite villain so far in Brave & The Bold. And he's the best part of the episode, his voice is fanasticly done by Greg Ellis. I love the ghost puns as well. But the major problem in this episode, there were no laughs. I chuckled once, but didn't laugh. Okay, I know that isn't the main purpose of the show, to make people laugh. But this episode at times, didn't even feel like a Brave & The Bold episode. It was surprisingly dark in parts, by all means, there's nothing wrong with that. But there sould've been more jokes in it.

Michael Rosenbaum was fantastic as Deadman, we even got his death scene. Green Arrow and Speedy even showed up. This is the weakest episode so far, for me. But it has some great parts in it. And Gentleman Ghost and Deadman should return soon, because they're awesome.moreless

  EDIT SHARE
- Injoke: Green Arrow's comment "I am vengeance! I am the night! I am Batman!" comes from the Batman: The Animated Series episode "Nothing to Fear," that series' introduction of the Scarecrow.
  EDIT SHARE
- Character bios: Deadman, Kamandi, Speedy, Green Arrow, Gentleman Ghost, Nth Metal
  EDIT SHARE
- Wilhelm Scream: This famous scream, which is an in-joke for sound editors and widely used in movie and television productions, is heard as the Ratmen fall from the billboard Batman blows up with his Batarang.
  EDIT SHARE
- Injoke: The medium refers to Tom and Colin Baker. Both are actors in the British s.f. TV series Doctor Who, playing the fourth and sixth fincarnations of the Doctor, respectively. (The closed captioning erroneously states the last name as Beeker.)
  EDIT SHARE
- Injoke: Speedy saying "Holy involuntary acrobatics!" references the 60s Batman series, where teen sidekick Robin often made comments paraphrased by "Holy... Batman!" as in "Holy haberdashery, Batman!", "Holy priceless collection of Etruscan snoods, Batman!", "Holy atomic pile, Batman!" and so on.
  EDIT SHARE
- The billboard seen at the beginning, of a woman's head, hands, and legs coming out of a box, is a homage to OMAC v.1, Issue 1. The individual who makes up OMAC, Buddy Blank, is Kamandi's grandfather in the original DC continuity.
