Over The Edge Review

Our hosts return to the Podcave to revisit one of the darkest and most beloved episodes of Batman: The Animated Series: “Over the Edge.”

Alex and Will break down why this haunting story still stands tall as one of the very best episodes in the entire DCAU, and give praise to Bob Hastings, who delivers an Emmy-worthy performance as Commissioner Gordon.

Along the way, the discussion covers everything from Barbara Gordon’s stress-fueled nightmare being directed by Christopher Nolan, to her uncanny ability to use this encounter as an excuse to dodge her household chores in the future.

Our hosts also unpack why Bane’s accent and outfit have mysteriously changed (hey, prison changes people), speculate on what Batman really carries in his utility belt, and discuss why Gordon jumps to the wrong conclusions when Barbara sits him down for a “talk.”

A deep dive into grief and fear with some laughs along the way - Over the Edge remains just as powerful, unsettling, and unforgettable as ever.
