What are some of the DCAU's Most Forgettable Moments?

[James Harvey]

The DCAU has had many of memorable moments, moments that fans will never forget (e.g., “Heart of Ice,” “Apokolips . . . Now!,” “Legacy,” and many, many more). As much as we appreciate these series, we can still poke a little fun at some of the more forgettable instances in this fun little universe. But what about the not so great moments which litter each series? What are some of your favorite “not so good” moments from the DCAU?

Let’s have some fun with this thread!

[90'sCartoonMan]

There were some in the later episodes of Batman Beyond, but the first that springs to mind is the Fingers episode.

Now, I love me some monkey fun. Grodd, Ultra Humanite, they were all great. Sadly, poor Fingers winds up on the lower rung of the evolutionary ladder. I can't really remember what that episode was about, come to think of it...a talking monkey, right? Named Fingers?

In any case, Justice League made that episode (especially the ending) even more forgettable because it introduced the existence of Gorilla City in the DCAU (and showed Bruce there, no less).

[Cortez2301]

"I've got batman in my basement" was,without a doubt, forgettable.Also in "christmas with the Joker" I hated that pie trick and also every moment when Batman or robin said something corny.Also taking down the nutcrackers and destroying those mini helicopters was like something in the animated 60s show.

[Peter Paltridge]

"Monkey Fun." I thought the point of the '96 Superman cartoon was to GET AWAY from the strange and lame plots that Superman was often associated with.

Hmm....I really have to wonder. In every incarnation of Superman, right up to Smallville, there have always been really cheesy ideas following the guy--sooner or later, no matter who's writing and what decade it is, he has to battle a giant ape or a laughably lame villain in fruity clothes or a vampire that sucks fat instead of blood. Can't ANYONE wean Superman offa this stuff?

King zrz: You have to remember "Christmas with the Joker" was the first Joker episode in production. And I didn't think it was that bad....he was darker than usual, watching that woman cry because her mother was on the train and still laughing it up....and Joker used crazy props all the time, even in the later shows.

[Magmafire2374]

A lot of the earlier Static Shock episodes were not that good (season 1 mostly). The series did pick up though, and having crossover episodes did help to give it lots of credibility.

Come on! Monkey Fun rocked, dude!:p...Well...It did.....

Anyway, there were many episodes of the first JL season which I struggle to remember. It was only until the second season that the show became truly memorable.

Let’s have some fun with this thread!

You win the internet with that pic. That had to be the lamest scene in the whole show, alos it becomes void when all he does is kick the penguin so what was the point of dueling him? Also the attack pattern alpha or whatever that Batman gave Robin, which i believe was throwing a bomb or something lame like that.

[MacGyver]

"Christmas With the Joker" for the exact reasons king zrz mentioned. Joker was great, but Batman and Robin were horrible.

"I've Got Batman In My Basement"- I don't really need to explain this one do I?

"The Forgotten"- Great music, but after that, it all falls apart. This like a 20 minute PSA to help the homeless. Granted, the Static episode "Jimmy" could be viewed as a 20 minute PSA for gun safety, but at least that was well written.

"Prophecy of Doom"- Just plain stupid.

"Chemistry"- Pheremones to attract Bruce or not, he'd never fall for this. Ever.

"Unity"- As much as I like Stephen Root, he's just no Bill Dautrieve here. I just couldn't wrap my head around this one and why it exists.

"Static Shaq"- No. Just no. This shouldn't exist.

"Romeo in the Mix"- Why is Static a Romeo fan? Isn't Romeo's appeal 10 to 13 year old girls?

"Hoop Squad"- Another bad episode with guest stars. This was the dumbest idea for a group of heroes ever.

There are so many more, but I honestly feel some physical pain thinking about some of these episodes.

[James]

I hate picking on Static Shock - it's such a popular series to bully, but I think the weakest and most forgetable episode for me is..

http://www.worldsfinestonline.com/WF/staticshock/episodes/31leaguept2/19.jpg

League of their Own.

Terrible. Not even horrendous terrible (in which case it would be memorable). Just a bland tale that verges on Static becoming the League's Mary Sue. It's predictable, all playing in favour of Static, while the League plays a silly second fiddle and there is not a scene in which you can't guess how the next will play out. Dull, silly, out of sync with the characters and just a waste of time. No redeeming features here and I can honestly say beyond the Mary Sue moments, I can't remember any specific scene. So it must be forgettable. And it was two parts. That's a lot to forget, but I'm better for it.

So don't watch whatsitcalled. It's.. something. I can't remember.

[Caswin]

That had to be the lamest scene in the whole show, alos it becomes void when all he does is kick the penguin so what was the point of dueling him?It was a desperation move. He used the screwdriver at first because it was the only thing available to put him on even footing with Penguin. I've never seen what was wrong with that scene; his belt was gone, Penguin was attacking him with a bladed weapon, and a screwdriver is perfectly plausible. Why not?

Also the attack pattern alpha or whatever that Batman gave Robin, which i believe was throwing a bomb or something lame like that."Operation: Cause and Effect". Throw a bomb and it explodes. Yeah, that was stupid.

[Cortez2301]

I've never seen what was wrong with that scene; his belt was gone, Penguin was attacking him with a bladed weapon, and a screwdriver is perfectly plausible. Why not?Come on.Didn't you at least recognize the stupidity of that fight for 1 second? He still could have grabbed Penguin's arm and gave him a good punch even though he was unconcious for a while.I really hated that scene.

[Simon Trent]

Quote:


Have you ever tried to fight with a screwdriver before? It's not a very good weapon, since you have to cover about half of its length with your hand in order to maintain a solid grip on it. It's akin to having a duel with only your keys against the other guy's sword. The only reason Batman won is...because the episode was almost over and they couldn't think of anything else.

Anyway, I wouldn't say that battle was forgettable, since it was really confusing and strange -- the kind of confusing and strange that sticks in your mind and haunts your every waking moment like a silent specter portending your own mortality at the hands of a duck wearing a tuxedo.

Speaking of confusing and strange -- Riddler's Reform. The whole thing, from Batman's demented ramblings that turned out to be correct to the Riddler's vain antics in front of the mirror to his nervous breakdown as he tries to figure out Batman's riddle of how he survived the bomb. Because, you know, Batman has never escape from a death trap before. Right.

I loved that episode.

[Dens Maris]

Despite the avatar, I'm going to say a good deal of Hawk and Dove. All I remember is something about Wonder Woman being strangely mad at the start, and Hawk and Dove in a barfight, and...uh...Ares looking cool...Ed Asner in there somewhere...love and peace at the end?

Bah. Ares and Ed Asner, there, only two good things about that episode. ;)

[Alex Weitzman]

I don't know. I forgot 'em.

[Stu]

I thought Far From Home was a waste of time. It didn't really serve any purpose except show just how stupid and annoying Supergirl is. It's filled with questionable characterisation and just plain stupid scenes. I've never really liked The Legion Of Superheroes and this episode did nothing to change my mind.

[90'sCartoonMan]

Hmm....I really have to wonder. In every incarnation of Superman, right up to Smallville, there have always been really cheesy ideas following the guy--sooner or later, no matter who's writing and what decade it is, he has to battle a giant ape or a laughably lame villain in fruity clothes or a vampire that sucks fat instead of blood. Can't ANYONE wean Superman offa this stuff?

Some of us like that, though. Superman is an American icon. He has to meet Santa Claus and fight Muhammad Ali and everything because he's Superman, you can tell many stories with him, even cheesy ones. I liked the fact that "Monkey Fun" was an hommage to older Superman stories.

This thread is kind of hard, I mean, unless we pick specific moments (like, I dunno, Alfred fixing up the Batmobile), there's usually at least something in the episode to note. Not to pick on MacGyver, but he has a handy list...


"Christmas With the Joker" for the exact reasons king zrz mentioned. Joker was great, but Batman and Robin were horrible.

First Mark Hamill as the Joker (and also, is it just me but haven't there been, like, 3 DCAU episodes where someone fights a giant wooden soldier?)


"I've Got Batman In My Basement"- I don't really need to explain this one do I?

Can't defend this one.


"The Forgotten"- Great music, but after that, it all falls apart. This like a 20 minute PSA to help the homeless. Granted, the Static episode "Jimmy" could be viewed as a 20 minute PSA for gun safety, but at least that was well written.

Alfred action!


"Prophecy of Doom"- Just plain stupid..

That I agree with.


"Chemistry"- Pheremones to attract Bruce or not, he'd never fall for this. Ever..

Last speaking role for Nightwing.


"Unity"- As much as I like Stephen Root, he's just no Bill Dautrieve here. I just couldn't wrap my head around this one and why it exists.

Seeing Supergirl's home life, I suppose. Doesn't mean it couldn't be better, but it was nice seeing her get the spotlight.


"Static Shaq"- No. Just no. This shouldn't exist.

"Romeo in the Mix"- Why is Static a Romeo fan? Isn't Romeo's appeal 10 to 13 year old girls?.

Didn't see either of those.


"Hoop Squad"- Another bad episode with guest stars. This was the dumbest idea for a group of heroes ever..

This episode gets credit for being one of the most popular choices for "Worst Episode in the DCAU" among fans.

I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade (except maybe Martianinvader's), I'm just having trouble remembering things that I forgot.

[DisneyBoy]

I can't remember any specific scene. So it must be forgettable.

Ahh James, how wrong you are. I'm by no means a Static Shock fan, but you can't claim that this entire two-parter was overly geared in favor towards him, when it really, really, really could have been much worse.

You looking for a Mary Sue Justice League story to pick on?

http://www.worldsfinestonline.com/WF/jl/guides/comic/13.jpg

One dimensional characterizations and the newbie saving the day, being publically honored, and then offered a membership card. It just doesn't come more "Mary Sue" than that.

"League of Their Own" part one goes to great lengths to find a good reason to have Static be useful to the League, not the other way around. I really doubt you knew at the outset that they'd need him to recharge the Watchtower. And beyond that, all the Leaguers act like themselves. Static isn't treated like a god, unless you're going to accuse the story of making him the hero. Well, duh! It's his show! Of course they aren't going to bother bringing in the League if they're not going to let Static prove himself somehow worthy as a hero.

The animation was crisp, fluid and dynamic, Brainiac taking over the Watchtower was memorable and Static wasn't over-glorified. If this "newbie" story doesn't please you even a little, I'd say you're unpleasable.

[sdp]

I just want to defend I've got Batman in my basement because by the end of the episode it had a nice moral in the story, a kid helping batman while it sounds tacky I feel it was executed very good, I enjoyed rewatching it on dvd when Vol.1 came out.

I'm not saying its a great episode but there are other more 'mature' stories that are forgetable, this one was a nice change.

[Cortez2301]

But then he wouldn't be Superman as we know and love him ;). And I still think that the Fleisher shorts are brilliant, by the way, just based on the animation.

[The Penguin]

I'd just as soon forget every minute of "Moon of the Wolf." B:TAS had a lot of great episodes that didn't involve a noted Batman villain, this was not one of them.

[James]

James wrong? OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Two wrongs don't make a right, however more importantly, I'm too right to make a wrong.

I'll respectfully come back to DB's points when I have a little more time.

[James]

Okay here we go. This is for fun. DB is quite in his right to stand by his love of League... I can stand by mine. Personally I find it no understatement that it was the worst DCAU story I've ever seen. It felt it was - to coin a phrase - painted by numbers. I'm glad I had forgotten its terrible aspects.. until now. So thanks to DB's full and concise comments I am able to defend my forgetful righteousness...


"League of Their Own" part one goes to great lengths to find a good reason to have Static be useful to the League, not the other way around. I really doubt you knew at the outset that they'd need him to recharge the Watchtower.

Well this in itself is very contrived. It just reeks of a million and one kid show set ups. "OMGZ our combined powers and intellect cannot save the Watchtower - there is only one kid who can save us now!!!!11".


And beyond that, all the Leaguers act like themselves.

Do they? The fate lies in the hands of the child hero of the show they are guest starring in? Doesn't this automatically put the world's most powerful force slightly off kilter? That the combined powers of the Leagues rely on one small time child? The JL are instantly relegated in their role as guest stars from the get go and it weakens them to the point - to me - the story was just beyond silly. The whole story is set up in favour of Static and to the detriment of the JL. With the JL being such a powerful group, it just comes across as very contrived.


Static isn't treated like a god, unless you're going to accuse the story of making him the hero. Well, duh! It's his show!

To the detriment of the other characters. I'm sure there was a way to involve him in the League activity without making him the sole saviour not just of their current situation, but the actual end finale with Brainaic. Oh, let's not forget how he pretty much takes out the League in part two. Ah, now I remember why I made myself forget this story, it's just silly and by the numbers, it's simply best to forget it.


Of course they aren't going to bother bringing in the League if they're not going to let Static prove himself somehow worthy as a hero.

And in no small way. Sorts out their Watchtower problem, manages to out do them when turned on him and then has a key role against Brainiac. Well, that's one hell of a hero. But it also seems one hell of a stretch too.



The animation was crisp, fluid and dynamic

I recall that I felt it was fairly weak at the time, but my memory is genuinely fairly poor on this episode to validate that. Hence this was my original choice. I don't remember being impressed compared to any other Static/DCAU.


Brainiac taking over the Watchtower was memorable

If I had spectacles, please imagine them popping off my nose from shock. DB, Brainiac is always taking over things. The Watchtower seems to get infiltrated fairly regularly. I can't see how either circumstances combined would make it memorable. The fact the comics have the Watchtower infiltrated on the tuesday of every month and Brainiac take something over on the Friday doesn't help matters here.


Static wasn't over-glorified.

I can't think how he could be any more glorified than he is in this story, so I'm pushed to imagine a more over glorified situation.


If this "newbie" story doesn't please you even a little, I'd say you're unpleasable.

I am unpleasable when it comes to Mary Sue. Terrible woman. Keep her out of my bed please.

[Arsenal]

How about the barfight in Hawk and Dove?

Two members of the Justice League use their powers to beat the stuffing out of some barflies. It's difficult to take heroes seriously when they're beating up drunks on their introduction.

Couldn't they have borrowed some third-rate villain from DC's annals instead?

Oh yeah, and who paid for the property damage?

[HaagenDas]

Anything with Madhatter, Clock King, Killer Croc, most Superman villains, Grodd and Max from BB.

[Caswin]

And in no small way. Sorts out their Watchtower problem, manages to out do them when turned on him and then has a key role against Brainiac. Well, that's one hell of a hero. But it also seems one hell of a stretch too.I'll grant taking on the League as pretty darned out there, but he has versatile electricity powers - it can't be too much of a stretch that he can fix the Watchtower and have a part in taking down a robotic villain.

[Shantosh9500]

I would say Static Shock episodes The Usual Suspect, Hoop Squad and Replay. Those are such horrible, horrible episodes. There is nothing good about these episodes

[James]

I'll grant taking on the League as pretty darned out there, but he has versatile electricity powers - it can't be too much of a stretch that he can fix the Watchtower and have a part in taking down a robotic villain.

It's what I call icing on the cake. For me the overall elements just made the whole tale as contrived as some fanfiction that gears the characters, plot and resolution artificially around the one central character. It's a bit like that tongue in cheek Buffy tale when Jonathan makes that spell that makes him the hub of the world. It just didn't work for me to the point I had to induce an alcohol overdose to forget the pain.

And just to clarify, I do like the Static character. It's not a slamming attack on the concept or cartoon, but just this particular attempt to bridge the two universes that felt awkward and a little lazy.

Damn you all. Why can't you just let me forget?

[Wonderwall]

I thought the whole Static Shock show was forgettable. I only enjoyed Static in JLU, and he got eaten by time. The episode when he met the league made me cringe, luckily he never showed up in JLU except for the already mentioned appearence. The animation I remember being very poor, and the digital coloring didnt help. The story was lame, I didnt buy the reason they needed Static then I still dont now. And Brainiac, whos idea was it to pitch his voice to the point where it was unrecognizable. One of the worst episodes ever for the DCAU.

[ReijiAzuma]

A few Batman episodes I honestly can't believe nobody has mentioned yet:

1. Be a Clown

2. Critters (It burns!)

3. Moon of the Wolf

Oh, and Justice League's War World episode.

Well, the reason they weren't mentioned is because, well, they were forgettable, and they were so forgettable that, well, we forgot.

[Caswin]

2. Critters (It burns!)Bad? Debatable. Forgettable? Hardly. You say yourself, "It burns!" Hardly something you'd forget. And that's not even touching on the 'ninja farmer' aspect...

Why all the hate for "War World?"

[Simon Trent]

I liked War World. It could have used some more humor though.

[BigFatHairyDeal]

By no means did I dislike the episode, but I thought "Dark Heart" was pretty forgettable. Sure, that episode was referenced several times afterward regarding the space cannon and the tech Brainiac/Luthor stole, but as for as Omega Level alerts that one just didn't seem too compelling.

Agreed with "Monkey Fun." The only reason I remember it was because the idea (both the cartoon and the comic) kind of stunk.

In retrospect, BTAS had some forgettable episodes, too, but much in part because they featured some no-name villains. That's a good way to make an episode forgettable. Plus, I don't own the DVD's, and the show's been off the air for years. Out of sight, out of mind...

[The Penguin]

A few Batman episodes I honestly can't believe nobody has mentioned yet:

1. Be a Clown

2. Critters (It burns!)

3. Moon of the Wolf

Oh, and Justice League's War World episode.I mentioned Moon of the Wolf. (http://forums.toonzone.net/showpost.php?p=2293418&postcount=22) You might be first on those other two though.

[James]

Bad? Debatable. Forgettable? Hardly. You say yourself, "It burns!" Hardly something you'd forget. And that's not even touching on the 'ninja farmer' aspect...

I would say that "Critters" is the very last story anyone could class as "forgettable". It gets more mentions than pretty much any other tales, albeit negative ones.

Personally I thought it was a lot of fun, but that's me. I appreciate it's unpopular, but unforgettable, nah.

I must confess I quite liked War World. Overlong maybe, but some good animation, nice fights and a fairly decent pace. Not an episode I would ever put in my top 20, but I do at least remember it.

[James Harvey]

Just a reminder to keep this thread as fun and light-hearted as possible. And remember, this thread doesn’t just pertain to just "bad" episodes, but also various "forgettable" moments in even the best of episodes. Have fun with this thread!

[jv2k]

I had to read through this topic before I could remember episodes that I forgot. So in no particular order:

Moon of the wolf(batman TAS)
That episode where alfred goes to that poison Ivy resort
The legion of superheros JLU episode
and Patriot Act(JLU)

[stwasm]

I can't remember the name of Justice League episode, but it's the one where Batman had an adventure with Zatanna and, near the end, he had to sing on stage. That was just embarrassing! That was straight out of Adam West singing "Buttercup." :ack: :rolleyes:

[Livy1213]

The legion of superheros JLU episode
and Patriot Act(JLU)I liked Patriot Act if nt just for Speedy's appearance. Him and Green Arrow were hilarious together. Made me wish we could have seen him again.

I think my list has to be...
Zatanna (She annoyed me to no end and the ep had a very lame plot)
Any or most episodes with Catwoman.
The Underdwellers (The kid they took in was cute but the ep was lame and very forgetable)
I could never forget Hawk and Dove only because it was, unfortunatly, the first JLU episode I ever saw and I thought it was terrible. Put me off of the show until only recently.

[TuxedoKamen]

Granted, it's not a high-art piece, but was I the only person who liked "I've Got Batman in My Basement?"

[The Penguin]

Granted, it's not a high-art piece, but was I the only person who liked "I've Got Batman in My Basement?"I think it's kind of fun. It may not deserve love, but I don't know that it deserves quite all the hate that it gets.

[TuxedoKamen]

I think it's kind of fun. It may not deserve love, but I don't know that it deserves quite all the hate that it gets.

Fun, yes. Like I said, it doesn't compete with the high impact eps, but I really think it was meant more as a "put your brain on recharge and enjoy" type thing.

And as for the screwdriver scene, Bruce had been seriously poisoned. It makes sense that his coordination might not be top notch when he first woke up. You don't throw all your strength into a punch you might not land. It might get you killed.

And really, wouldn't being killed by the Penguin be kind of an embarrassment? :P

Besides, Sherman and Roberta were cute.

Roberta: "Ugh. Men."

[Captain Clown]

What a sham of a thread! Every one of you remembers the things that you're mentioning.

For me, the least memorable moment was that one episode where that one dude kind of did something for a second -- it was kind of quick so you probably wouldn't notice it if you weren't paying attention, and I wasn't. Anyhow, the point is that whatever it was, it never stuck my mind.

Oh, I remember that! It was hilarious; one of the best moments of the series.

Which episode?Please tell me.
World's Finest, Part One, the scene in which Batman discovers that Clark Kent is Superman.

[klammed]

I can never seem to recall the scene where Terry finds his father's house all vandalised or something. Alot of BB eps were actually pretty forgettable, all things considered.

[Cortez2301]

World's Finest, Part One, the scene in which Batman discovers that Clark Kent is Superman.Oh thanks.I thought the psoter was actually telling the other guy "touche".This is hardly forgettable.It is actually one of the most classical things I've seen.

[TuxedoKamen]

For the sake of being honest, I was, but wow, that WAS a cool scene.

[Cortez2301]

For the sake of being honest, I was, but wow, that WAS a cool scene.It was a cool ending to the episode too.Batman never lets anyone find out his secret without him finding out theirs.

[James Howlett]

Aside from the fanbase, I think one of the more forgettable moments DCAU is the Batman episode where the circus animals from where Nightwing performed as a kid was pretty horrible. There was one good moment of tension between Nightwing and Batman and the rest of the episode was pretty horrible especially the end scene with the Gorilla jumping on Mad Hatter. I also thought the Superman episode where that Maxima girl tries to get Superman to be her mate was a waste of a half hour. It was a cute premise but I found that it fell flat repeatedly.

[M.O.D.O.K.]

Well, there is a B:TAS ep. where Joker.... or was it Penguin:confused: ?, went to the Myor of Tokyo's house in her daughter's Hanukkah party, and Joker/Penguin dressed up like a hairless monkey to distract the people, but wanted to kill the mayor. However, the monkey was foiled by Adam West. The neglected daughter followed the monkey, not knowing it was Joker/Penguin... or was it King Tut? Tut teached the girl how to be a monkey, but used her to kill the mayor. Adam West/Spider-Man stopped King Tut, and before punching him, he said "It's clobberin' time!", and punched Tut.

Was the episode called Be a Wrestler? I don't know, since I was busy thinking to myself.

[BigFatHairyDeal]

World's Finest, Part One, the scene in which Batman discovers that Clark Kent is Superman.

Not to get too off-topic, but it seems that the two guys found out each other's secret ID's too easily. Shouldn't Batman have known that Superman has X-Ray vision, and lined his cowl with lead foil or something? Shouldn't Superman, with his superhearing, have heard the little transmitter on his cape beeping? Now that I think about it, they probably could've embellished a bit on how the ID's were solved by each hero. I guess despite the nice exchange in dialogue, I'd rather forget that scene now. :sad:

Has anyone mentioned any other BB episodes?

Like "Terry's friend dates a robot" or "Unmasked" (i think it was a horrible episode to end the series) "Sentries of the last cosmos" and "Countdown"?

I think Terry's friend dates a robot is pretty much forgetable really. Unmasked was ok, but i prefer to forget it. I mean, the only scene i actally liked was the end where Terry's face was actually the action figure, anything else, well, will someone hit me in the back of the head?

Coundown? pretty much pointless really. I mean i like Zeta and everything but i dont want him be back. I love stan and all that cause he's hilarius but I thought the show had funny jokes that shouldnt be forgetten like
Ro: "Ew, that rat is barking at me"
Batman: "That's Boom Boom."
So i guess that would make up for the lame plot.

Well actually i think that all those bad episodes would have been worse if Terry didnt have that humor of his. But that only bumped up the rating to forgettable rather than tar and feathered.

Not to get too off-topic, but it seems that the two guys found out each other's secret ID's too easily. Shouldn't Batman have known that Superman has X-Ray vision, and lined his cowl with lead foil or something? Shouldn't Superman, with his superhearing, have heard the little transmitter on his cape beeping? Now that I think about it, they probably could've embellished a bit on how the ID's were solved by each hero. I guess despite the nice exchange in dialogue, I'd rather forget that scene now. :sad:

Not sure why Supes didn't hear the beeping, unless he has to specifically listen for that sort of thing (with as much as he can hear, he must consciously supress most of it most of the time).

As for Bruce's mask, an interesting point. In the comics I think Batpeople line their masks with lead or some other material that scrambles X-Rays.

How could anyone call Batman singing "Am I Blue" on stage because Wonder Woman turned into a pig, a FORGETTABLE moment?

Terrible Trio, Forgettible villains, a forgettible damsel in destress, poor animation. Everything about this episode was forgettible.

I don't know. Given his staunch anti-gun feelings, Bruce wielding a shotgun has always kind of stuck out in my mind.
