Evderything I have heard.. don't copunt on a season 5, which does really suck, this season finally saw Robin, and Harley, and so far it's the best season out of all. But, after season 4 is done, they will have enough to put the show into syndication.
It ammazes me, Shows like Pokemon, which is stupid, goes on and on, But they can't do more than 52 eps for The Batman.

If so, that is really bad. The series is starting to soar (Artifacts 9/10, Two of A Kind 10/10) - and then they kill it! From an initial point of scepticism I'm now a BIG fan of this, and I don't think I'm that unusual.
What a joke!

I'd love that to happen, but I think we've got more chance of getting another Clooney film first........ |

I hope there's going to be SOMETHING Batman-related. This will be so sad if there's no plans for another Batman cartoon. If The Batman isn't returning for another season (Just when it was getting REALLY good) I need Kevin Conroy and Bruce Timm back. |

Could I ask where that information originated? I have heard nothing that would even elude to The Batman season 4 being it's last. It seems every season near the end we hear this scuttlebutt and as to this point it has all been false. WB would be nuts to kick down the show at this point, it is a ratings favorite. Hang tight and see.

Yes, I saw it. Here is my review.
Artifacts
PLOT:
In 3027, a group finds the batcave to the legendary Batman to combat the return of Mr. Freeze. While they seacrh to how to stop him, flashbacks going back to 2027 tell Batman's final fight to Mr. Freeze.
REVIEW:
Okay, so after reruns and a bit of time since the last new episode, we finally get a new episode of The Batman. And this happens to be the one I was waiting for since Comic Con '06. The Dark Knight Returns was one of my favorite Batman books. It happens to be the one that I remember the best lines from. DKR has been animated twice now. The first was in a The New Batman Adventures episode called "Legends of the Dark Knight". It was based on the second chapter of DKR "Dark Knight Triumphant" and it handled everything fine. Now one of TB's episodes is based on DKR and thanks to Con '06, I knew there was going to be changes. But I was still excited.
As the episode starts, we are shown to the first major change from the actual DKR story. The main plot is in 3027 while the DKR Batman scenes are in flashback going back to 2027. At first I thought that the flashbacks weren't going to be the full episode and it was going to be mostly about Batman & his team in the future. Thankfully, it was the other way around.
Batman in 2027: all I can say is "thank you, he is similar to the book". From that, you can tell at this moment before the epsiode airs that what you read in Miller's DKR will be sorta similar in the episode. Thats good. Batman at this time is old, and as Oracle states, he shouldn't be doing this anymore. While we know what's up with Batmabn, we don't know anything about Bruce Wayne. Is he still known to the world? Or was that identity part abandoned? We don't know. We never got to see Bruce's full face, but before he puts on the mask we see scars on his right eye. Stating that he now has a war wound from his "war" and he might not be that fast anymore. Which is correct once you see him move and fight. That's another thing: the reason why I would say it would be better to see Bruce's face is because when you see him, you don't get that "wow, he's old now" vibe. You get instead "wow, he's gotten really big" vibe. The only time where you get the fact that he's old is when danger happens and he's slow and almost like his heart is about to pop. BTW, just like DKR, Batman will agree to something lethal if its a last resort and he is himself, ready for death.
Barbara Gordon grown up, and unlike the DCAU, she's who she is in this episode like the comics. Oracle was cool. She had spunk and there wasn't a time watching this that I felt annoyed by her. As a matter of fact, since season 4 started I haven't really had any negetive feelings toward TB Batgirl/Oracle in general. One of the things left out, maybe because we don't need to know or its sorta up in the air on how it happens, is how she gets into the wheelchair. Everyone knwos why because of the well known Killing Joke, but its not even referenced on how she gets in there. It didn't hurt though. Oracle was, again, cool.
Every fanboy cheered when they were told that Nightwing was gonna appear in TB. Nightwing here has grown up from his Robin days and is ready to take over Batman. Like he says to Batman "I think its time to pass the torch". He feels ready but for Oracle and Batman, they still call him Robin even after Grayson has been Nightwing for 10 years. Oracle called him "Robin" not in a negetive way, but because she was joking "You tell me you can say Nightwing 10 times". Batman, on the other hand, might've said that because of what Nightwing said about "passing the torch" and also he doesn't want to move on. Nightwing wasn't a letdown. Unlike TNBA, the relationship between them here is not strain. I like that. Nightwing wasn't a let down and got his hands on the batwing as his own vechile.
Mr. Freeze's plan was to freeze the city. Now, at this point, its become generic. And it happen to be now for me to say that. What saved it was how Freeze looked in the future. In a smilar vain to TNBA, Freeze has become based on a spider. But not like TNBA where it was his head with spider legs, its spider legs replacing his own legs. He is the villian for both 2027 & 3027. I guess the last person to mention is Alfred. He is still alive in 2027 but with a cane and since we're in DKR mode, he has some reflection to how he looks in that book.
3027. As for whats going on with that date, its simple. In 3027, Freeze returned and its up for a team to find the old batcave and get whatever infomation to stop him. What I like about the 3027 sequences were how they played that old records were lost and they were assuming what had happening to the Bat team from what they could figure it out. How they mention or figure out things themseleves, is a DCU reference as well. When the woman, Moria, shows the costume to Robin, she calls it "Red Robin". Referencing Kingdom Come. Another reference, which many of you won't figure out or know, is when they figure out who were Batman, Batgirl, and Robin. Moria says Thomas Wayne was Batman, Martha was BatWOMAN, and Bruce was Robin. Why is this a reference? Well ignoring Martha as Batwoman, in the old Golden/Silver Age stories: Thomas Wayne wore a Bat costume that in that era of Batman, would be one of the inspirations for Bruce to become Batman. And also in those stories, it was said that before he was Batman, Bruce was a young detective calling himself Robin. I thought they were nice references but you would have to know them from all this comic book history. The scenes in 3027 were good.
Overall, this was a nice episode. I love DKR and I'm thankful for the TB crew that they were faithful to it when they were adapting as part pf their show. One of the things to point out was the end. It had a sense of finale, not to the episode, but almost to The Batman in general. Like the end for the series, even though this is in the middle of season 4. We all want a season 5 after season 4 but I felt that the last episode to this season might and prolly should've been this because of that last scene and last line of dialogue. You'll get that feelign of what I'm talking about once you see this.
RATING: 8.5/10
You don't get it, boy... this isn't a mudhole... it's an operating table.
