The Darkseid voice actually ruined Superman/Batman: Apocalypse for me. Well, that and the shopping montage.

Except that Batman is in the unique position of knowing that Barbara idolizes him but doesn't actually know who he is. Since she, you know, dresses up like him secretly at night and fights crime. The moment he revealed himself to her it was game over for Dick, despite what he claimed his intentions were. As Dick said,

Batman is such a stupid asshole in this one. He's stupid because every single plan he comes up with seems to be just run in and then hide behind something when the villains start shooting at him. He's an asshole because to "help" Dick he steals his girlfriend. Mostly a good ep but I wasn't sorry Bruce got punched at

I think it would have been funny if in "Body Parts," right after the crew dropped all the gifts for Quark, Garak had run out and broken Quark's neck because Quark forgot to cancel their arrangement.

I'm surprised my favorite moment from this wasn't mentioned — the stare down between Batman and Knightwing. Bruce keeps showing up in Dick's loft and standing there all in shadow, trying to make a point about trust, and angrily answers the phone when Robin calls. The episode would have been better if it had done more

Yeah, maybe I haven't been following closely enough, but I needed that explanation of how the machinations of the Light and the Reach have been interacting with each other that was actually coherent, because I was starting to get really confused. Great episode.

The Ravens.

Also, it's hilarious to hear Volcana rag on him.

They did at one point, didn't they? But someone tipped off the Fringe crew and they ambered the lab up before the Observers got there making it look abandoned.

The Superman clip in that video is of an intentionally cornier Superman, because it's actually Bizarro and something's supposed to be a little off about him.

Nah, Wyman says that's episode 9.

It turned out that he wasn't that cool and actually had no clue what was really going on.

It's probably William Bell. It's always William Bell.

I don't know why they couldn't preempt a few of the constant reruns of the Big Bang Theory instead.

The series I think had its own story for the dinosaur, in the revamped New Batman Adventures Calendar Lady or whatever attacks him with robotic dinosaurs.
