Most disturbing Batman episodes

[Batmex]

Is the first three Clayface episodes, the way he was "born" Dagget(sp) men pured all that cream on him, that scene still distrubs me everytime I see it, then watching his human hand melting when they put him in the car, and when his freind finds him in.......

The episode where he's "falling apart" Batman's fight was pretty violent(the way Bats escaped by shooting his hook, bursting out of Clay's head)

And the scene were he falls into the water, he lookied way to scary as he falls.

Any coments?

I couldn't agree with you more!

Of course, there's no surprise there, considering my username!

I haven't seen him in NBTAS, does he still so "disturbing"?

You know that they didn't just pour it on him...they made him swallow it. Yummy.

Another disturbing situation is the flashback sequence in Return of the Joker. But wait till the unedited version comes out to get the full effect of the evil at hand here.

Oh, and Batmex, do you have to post pics at the end of every message? They're slowin me down and they're a little distracting.

I'd have to say that I find the Clayface ep more distubring than the ROTJ flashback stuff, though that wasn't exactly pleasant to see either. When they force fed that clay stuff to Dagget, it was kind of freaky. It freaked me out a little at least when they left him in the car and his hand is all dripping with the clay, all I could think was "ewwwwwww"

The ROTJ flashback, uncut, will give you chills. You would see this on the show, that's for sure. But that's part of what made it so damn good... there's this creepiness, anger, fear, and depresion that sets into all at once...

Yes, and when Batman sees for the first time what Joker has done and all he can utter is a terse "No," you realize this is his worst nightmare come to life and for that brief moment, he can't accept what has happened. Joker's uncut account, which comes a bit later, is even more repulsive than that first realization, partly because of the sheer delight he derived from the situation.

To think, the whole thing started as a sick family unit between Joker & Harley and ended in all kinds of death. A tragic ending for everyone involved. But everybody plays the fool. Sometimes.

Exactly, Terminatah... Batman's expression and Batgirl's words don't even begin to describe the feeling both they and the viewer get... and the "Home Movies" don't make it any easier either...

[Nightflower]

The Clayface episode was the first Batman episode I saw. I was eight years old at the time and it completely scared the heck out of me. I think I was afraid to go to sleep at the time :P

Can't wait to see RotJ uncut,:D

Yet those Clayface episodes are by far the creepiest(Remember when he started to melt in the train in front a kid?)

Terminantah; I learned to link sprites and pics a few days ago and I LOVE IT, CAN'T STOP.........HELP!!!!!!

I know I called it stupid, but House and Garden, when Batman finds the kid in a plant, spooked me because of the sheer bizareness of the scene. But then, the cheesy overly-done sci-fi plot twist might have done it, too.

[BLACKHEART]

I think it was wonderful that the Joker made home movies so that those moments would be forever saved in time. That way Bruce could go back and what them whenever he wanted.

You know what disturbs me? Farmer Brown

How did someone create him?

How did someone animated him?

How did someone write a story for him?

How did someone give him his own episode?

How did someone air the episode?

I don't know how I watched it.

Well, to quote an earlier post I made:

"Growing Pains" - Did they think it was a good idea to ruin Clayface by removing all of his emotions and turning him into some uncaring monster? I thought he was supposed to be a victim. I actually cared about him in previous episodes, but his portrayal in "Growing Pains" warranted no sympathy.

The Clayface episodes were sad, but the flashback in ROTJ is without a doubt the most disturbing Batman animated moment.

[James Harvey]

While ROTJ isn't a Batman episode, I have to agree that the flashback is the most disturbing thing I've seen in the animated Batman universe. It pushed the envelope a bit more and we say some true horror. It had me spellbound and terrified at the same time...

Another good reason to get that uncut DVD.

I jremeber when the fake poison Ivy melted away and those plant babies? I forgot about that one too.:D

Howdy all,

I think the closing scene of "Fire from Olympus" is pretty creepy and disturbing, though in a totally different way than the Clayface episodes. Just the full recognition of exactly how far gone Maxie is by the end of the episode, and the way the writers chose to depict it just weirded me out in the worst way.

Another of my favorite (if that's the word) disturbing scenes from the Animated Age is the bit in Mask of the Phantasm when the slimeball politician has gotten a dose of Joker venom, but not enough to kill him, so he can't stop laughing even as he's writhing in pain and probably wetting himself as he gets interrogated by Batman. Still gives me the willies.

--the first time I saw Mr. Freeze's severed head walking about on its own in "Cold Comfort". I uttered two words of four letters or less....

Ivy's plant mutants in "House and Garden" and "Chemistry" are also very grotesque. In the latter even Robin has to choke back vomit when she rips the guy's skin off....

[Failure]

In the episodes, house and Garden is definitely up there for disturbingness. Those kids that were being grown and then mutating? Definitely freaky.

But overall, I'd have to say it's the flashback scene in ROTJ also. Tim's creepy laugh explains it all. That totally got to me.

And talking about creepy laughs, Batman's laugh in Mad Love. Not necessarily disturbing, but wow, definitely chilling.

I think this would've been more intense if we had seen Maxie before he went insane. Like in a flashback or something. Yes, we have what's-her-name trying to remind him what he was like in the past, but it's not as effective. You guys think?

[GL2k2]

I gotta agree, that scene in ROTJ. Whew, can't wait for the unedited, that's priceless animation.

[Harley Fan]

I agree that the Feat of Clay Part I was definitely gross. Another disturbing scene was in the Bane episode and the venom tube control got destroyed by Batman's batarang and than Bane became so disgustingly pumped up that his eyes bulged out of his head and his heart sounded like it was going to burst. THAT was definitely disturbing. O_O


I have yet to to see ROTJ and I kick myself each time I hear soemone talking about it. I must buy the un-edited version when it comes out!

[nerium_oleander]

Gagging on the clay was pretty bad in and of itself. He's like drowning in it, and then it's like he's dead, but worse than dead cause he's melting too. *shudder* Another BTAS moment was Harv's reckoning (dunno the title ep, though I should, forgive me!) when Dent gets blown to Kindom Come. I was initially surprised that his origin had been changed in that manner to what seemed way more violent than the comic, but then I was thinking how truly horrifying the acid in the face might have translated to tv. It would be way cool to see, but Courtrooms don't work on stuff aimed towards kids I guess.

Of late I was pretty surprised in the BB ep with Freeze where the girl got iced and my mind kinda went, "Well maybe she can be thawed out..." and then the damn building exploded and it was like "Well, damn, not now."

Speaking of my Favorite character, (Two-Face) anyone catch Timm's Batman Black & White piece. Kinda sorta series related but seriously sick! (in a good way!)

[Bruce Wayne]

I agree with many of you. I like to remind you gyus of episode, Black out, i think, where Inque started to go down Terry's throat. Guh-Ros! ROTJ was the most distrubing though.

[Frank White]

House and Garden always did for me, when Poison Ivy started melting and she was like, I guess you got the best of ol Poison Ivy, it was freaky because I thought it was really her and she really died. In fact all the shows where I thought characters died freaked me out, The Laughing Fish and Mudslide.

Laughing fish was scary too, after the two men(and a cat) got poisoned by Joker, they looked really creepy(like the guy bellow).

That's why Joker's the best

[Nightwing]

I was worried MY mind's obvious choice wouldn't be mentioned, but I'm glad some people went with House and Garden. :) BOY was that freaky!!!

The Laughing Fish is an extremely close second. And it's an excellent episode because it really shows you how intricate Joker's plans are. It's not just laugh laugh shoot em up. :)

[Knight2]

I know it wasn't scary, gross, or horrifying like the above eps. mentioned, but did anyone find Perchance to Dream a little disturbing before we find out that it was just a dream? :(

[metaphysician]

I think a distinction has to be made between "disturbing" and gross, disgusting, etc.

Something can be disturbing without involving blood and gore, or similar grossness. Something is disturbing because of a fundamental 'wrongness' about it, something that is just not right, something that should not and ought not be.

For instance, the overdose scene in Feat of Clay 1 was a little disturbing, as was its aftermath. However, I find the climax scene in the second part to be even more disturbing.

I agree with some people, Perchance to Dream is quite disturbing.

However, the most disturbing thing I have ever watched would be the movie "Fallen," specifically, the very end. I don't know why, but that ending bothered me, alot ( and not in the unfulfilled potential area, either ).
