two of a kind is my favorite paul dini wrote the episode nice music montage and hynden walch is awsome

[ShadowStar]

This is where the competition is at its fiercest, but even here, there is a clear winner (in my eyes at least): "Seconds".

[creativerealms]

Man was it hard, Seconds, Riddler's Revenge, and Two of a kind, at the end Riddler's Revenge took it, just barely.

[Wonderwall]

Seconds for me. Best episode this show ever did for me.

[thedanmachine]

picked Seconds. I really love that episode.

[Mad Mod 49]

Riddler's Revenge, definately. It added even more to the already awesome Riddler, and knowing his origin makes his other two appearances even better.

[Batman91]

I was thinking "Riddler's Revenge", but "Seconds" is just awesome. Original concept extremely well executed. Really sweet ending too.

[ROBOTRON]

Tough set to vote on but for different reasons.

For all around "goodness", I picked "Rumors" no. 1.

"Riddler's revenge" was a close second because it had a deep involving story...which I like.

"Seconds" I liked, only because it paid homage to Temple Fugate (one of my fav chars in BTAS)...however a guy staring at a clock in his jail cell and slowly being able to control time...well is far-fetched even for a toon. I did like the fact he was outsmarting Batman even though he was an obvious klutz. He set his his life back on the right track at the end which was cool.

"Seconds" would be 3rd. A close 4th would be the Harley episode.

:sweat:

[dark knight acolyte]

A strange and timed-to-coincidence of the ability to control time really made it hard for me to suspend my disbelief when watching "Seconds," which did to its credit entertain.

Ultimately, I felt the Harley episode was fairly corny, and thus chose "Riddler's Revenge" for it's deeply involving origin story and dynamic verbal exchanges between Batman and Riddler while submarined in what I believe was a safe...

I think it was a steel container...you know the kind used for shipping things overseas via a ship...unloaded and piggybacked on a truck to its destination.;)

HAHA! One, two, three punch and knockout, eh? But yeah, that makes sense! :D

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

This one's also tough. Here's another great batch of good episodes. I ultimately went with "Seconds". Such a sentimental episode. But "Riddler's Revenge" gets a close second.

[dark knight acolyte]

Something about unexplained "time-control" really tempered my enjoyment of "Seconds." It took my suspension of disbelief and completely caused it to unlock. I wish I could have gotten past that; perhaps I'd enjoy the episode more.

I know that on its own, despite the complaint, it's a good episode. Perhaps I'm being a bit too critical of it...

[Krypton_Knight]

I went for Riddler's Revenge. Probably for the wrong reason -- it feels closer to a classic BTAS episode than any other episode of this series. But there are some other terrific ones here too.
