Batman: Caped Crusader - The Stress of Her Regard

After seeing Harleen Quinzel (Jamie Chung)  as a recurring character in the previous episodes, you knew sooner or later we were going to get a Harley Quinn episode. Far less wacky than her introduction in Batman: The Animated Series, the version we get in Batman: The Caped Crusader plays on the psychologist’s cold calculation and drive to make the wealthy men of Gotham City pay. Both Batman (Hamish Linklater) and Barbara Gordon (Krystal Joy Brown) will uncover how the psychologist spends her free time breaking down the minds of men, brainwashing them, and driving them insane.

Delicious in Dungeon - Griffin/Familiars

Leaving the comfort of the Golden Country, the party sets off to find the Winged Lion who may help them in their quest. The change in scenery breaks the calming spell effecting Izutsumi (Mitsuho Kambe) as the group find themselves in a dwarven cistern deep in the dungeon. “Griffn/Familiars” is notable for several reasons including providing some backstory for the mad mage Thistle (Yû Kobayashi) and lay the stage for the tight-lipped Senshi (Hiroshi Naka) to provide information about his own past. The episode ends at the beginning of Senshi’s tale. Before we get there, the party will have to deal with a Griffin (the first creature to have Senshi running in fear) but the Familiars created by Marcille (Emily Rudd) help take down the creature. Marcille is proud of her creations, although less so once  Laios (Damien C. Haas) begins cooking them for dinner.
