Reply to comment by Cowboys_and_Engines in Return to Gotham: In Its Scariest Episodes, Batman: The Animated Series Went “Over the Edge” by PetyrDayne

> Over the Edge is my favorite episode. > Short synopsis: Batgirl fucking DIES and the inevitable fallout ruins Batman’s life. Commissioner Gordon learns his daughter is Batgirl and it ruins his friendship/partnership with Batman. (As it should, because it’s a total dick move to keep that from someone you supposedly trust) And using his daughter’s computer Gordon learns that Bruce Wayne is Batman and the entire police force raids Wayne manor to arrest him. It’s a great fucking episode.

Literally convinced me to go find and watch this right now.

Any other favorite episodes you can put on my radar?

The introduction of Clayface, which I think is a two-parter. Tragic story, great animation, unbelievable score.

And that particular scene at the end of part 2 that's fucking nuts when you remember it was done by hand.

Heart of Ice is one of the most famous episodes. It turned Mr. Freeze from a campy 60s villain to a tragic figure. Most people don’t even know that Mr. Freeze’s sad origin story came from this episode.
