So as you all can see the video effects on this video are crazy and all over the place. It was extremely frustrating having to do this to my video but I could not post it otherwise due to copyright. I will be looking into different ways to handle this for my next video which might mean more still images stock footage or gameplay. Thank you all for bearing with me through these growing pains.

I'd wish that Ethan Bennett and Ellen Yin didn't disappear after the last couple seasons, they were so fun and likable and they were quickly disregarded after the last two seasons.

The fourth season’s second half and the fifth season are kind of where my own interest dips; it’s not bad, but the focus and tone seemed to shift into the bigger role of Batman in this DCU he lives in… It’s shortly after Robin was introduced, and definitely after the future-based episode (definitely one of the show’s best); dropping Yin and Bennett completely was a key part of that. I wish Ellen got to appear even sporadically while we got to know Barbara, as well as Dick after her; same for a post-cure Ethan (who gets to have what Harvey Dent is never allowed, a wasted opportunity to not dive into).

Ethan showed up in the fourth season

The Batman has a Harley Quinn focused origin episode based entirely around a Dr. Phil parody, that alone makes it the funniest thing ever something I find interesting is that when the show ends up using Superman, its Supes who is portrayed as a loner that thinks he could do everything by himself which is a trait usually applied to Batman.

Man I love this version of Harley. It’s actually fits her “I’m smart (not)” persona that she had since inception much more. Origin as a show man shrink instead of professional one fixes my biggest problem with her.

This variation of Clayface was awesome. Like a combination of Two Face’s Clayface’s stories

@user-pm6nx1fs2w

I suggest you look up the Preston Payne Clayface

Hot take: I think Ethan Clayface was overall a better version of Two Face. Same type of arc, but unlike Two Face his gimmick is versatile outside of one or two stories. Also, him ultimately reforming was a great ending.

An underrated show and I was saddened when these original characters either became their more mainstream version or got cut from later seasons.

"The Batman (2004)" and "the Brave and the Bold" were the Batman shows that I grew up with. I the Dracula movie that came out for "The Batman (2004)" was especially sick.

This version of Clayface was introduction to the character and made me love Clayface. I like most of the people who have dawned the mantle of Clayface, but Ethan is and always will be my favorite. The man was cop who wanted to work with Batman to stop crime. His relationship with Bruce Wayne and Ellen Yin was some of my favorite moments from the first 2 seasons. And his fall from grace was so tragically beautiful. I also love how when he first tries to redeem himself, he doesn’t succeed and instead falls deeper towards rock bottom. But when he finally does redeem himself, I was so happy because I only saw THE 2-parter and didn’t get to watch the full show until 2020 when it came back on Netflix.

While I like how this show used the "Bat-Embargo" to creatively reinterpret Batman's villains, I still hate that DC thought us fans were too stupid to understand there could be characters in two mediums at once.

Majority of suits still think audiences are stupid. That’s why marvel uses multiverses in movies rn because separation of canon are too hard for people in their opinion.

I actually liked the retake of Batman in ‘The Batman.’ While the DCAU will probably always be seen as the best, as you pointed out, I loved seeing a grounded and humanized Bruce Wayne.

Yeah I like this version of Clayface because I believe he was meant to be this show’s Harvey Dent/Two Face like imagine if Spider-Man had a friend that isn’t Harry Osborn like have a friend that loyal to Peter unlike how it always goes. I kinda felt bad for Ethan after that ungrateful Chief of his and his first time turning into Clayface was the closest thing to body horror in the show.

You know he's the closest there's ever been to the Preston Payne Clayface, not counting that picture of him you see in Batman The Brave and The Bold. I actually hope it's that version of Clayface that might appear in a sequel The Batman film because he actually suits those films better than the shapeshifting Clayfaces.

Ethen fell for that trap by the tricky Clown Prince of Crime

When Ethan got cured and his redemption i was so happy

Something I loved about the show was the art style, it was so different, but in a lot of places looked absolutely gorgeous. I really liked the Clayface arc, but to be honest, part of me wishes it had been given to Two-Face instead. They've never used the series format to tell a slow-burn story about Harvey's fall - and when they do, it's for a completely different character! But it still works incredibly well.

@GamerSlyRatchet1

They used that approach in Beware the Batman, though Harvey is WAY less sympathetic in that, so it’s more about him becoming what he hated. Maybe they’ll do it again in Caped Crusader?

I always liked this Clayface design. It’s very fresh. I’m always disappointed how other adaptations and the comics just rehash the B:TAS Hagen design over and over.

Feel like Ethan Version of Clayfsce could fit in the Robert Patterson Batman films, or in world like Earth One Batman.

Great idea

You're kind of wrong with what you said about how Bruce acts. Bruce usually has friends he interacts with & can be happy. The problem is he let's his duty as Batman usually controll his life. This version found a better way to BALANCE both sides to an extent. He still says Batman is his dominant side but he also finds time to out & be Bruce Wayne as his own person instead of masking Batman as Bruce

Holy shit I just found your channel through the captain america video and in so glad someone else understands how good Ethan Bennet is in this show

It is an honour to support you on Patreon, I thought this channel is amazing and I cant wait to see you grow and put out more and more great quality content, with your chill, laid-back, but thought provoking narrative style. + you pronounced my ign correctly, extra props! Indeed you went a but too flashing lights with the effects, might need to add a warning, just to be safe. I love Batman 2004 and Brave and The Bold, where my first introduction to Batman, and what i think the 2004 The Batman does beautifully, is showing us Bruce Wayne. This Bruce is on screen a lot, showing us that he has a life, and is as much of a character as Batman is, which is such a missed dynamic in the modern mediums. Ethan Bennett was a well written character as you expertly pointed out, and i wish there were more characters that interacted with both Batman and Bruce Wayne (hopefully not all of the tragedies)! Keep up the fantastic work, myself and 2.45 thousand others, are looking forward to your future videos!!

I like The Batman. I grew up on BtAS but The Batman was pretty soon after and I love how very early 2000s it is. Also I love Bane from there, that episode where he's introduced is amazing.

Keep these videos coming they are amazing, can’t get enough of them.

This was a fantastic arc. Gut wrenching just like you said. Great video bro!

This show was honestly better when it was doing it's own thing and making it's own characters, Yin and Ethan were GOATS

One thing that i like about this series is that as competent as bruce is not only bane but clayface and mr freeze, curb stomp him in the first encounter and has to either manage to escape or have alfred save him and then fight them again in the next encounter targeting their weaknesses to get the upper hand, it was a nice trope that showed if he was facing a powerful enough metahuman he had to be prepared

Yeah this is definitely my favorite Batman show. My fave variants of the entire rogue's gallery are all here. This arc was mindblowing when i was a kid. Ethan was a great foil and having him become one of the more powerful villains was great if not gutwrenching like you said. I loved Bane being this mysterious assassin guy that grows into the hulking red giant as well. And you can't forget about rasta Joker. Truly a dope universe.

Phenomenal video bro! Love this show and love ur channel! For such a small channel ur editing is on point! Please do a video on Ellen Yin and Bruce Wayne from this show. In fact, set up a Patreon and I'll be ur first Patron. Also love the fact ur family friendly and don't curse like so many other KZreadrs. Keep up the great work bro! Can't wait for the next video and please more Batman 2004 videos! This show qas my childhood too 🥹🥹🥹

I might revisit this show as I do love it, but maybe in a different format for footage as trying to get this out on YT was difficult

I grew up with BTAS, and that's a great series... but tbh The Batman is probably my favorite Batman cartoon. This is a series I could talk about for hours. I don't like everything they did, especially with Poison Ivy, but the stuff that actually hits is some of the best and most creative stuff in the mythos imo. Like This is still my favorite Joker design. The way he moves is eerily hypnotic and I remember being inspired by that to create a villain in an old story that had a vary similar creepy sway to how he moved. And yes, this Clayface is great, easily my favorite of all the Clayfaces. Honestly, it wasn't til this video that I realized the series even lacked Two-Face. I just never really noticed it; there are some many other great villians in this series that its only natural that they couldn't use them all.

Is there a version without the static throughout the video?

Just a suggestion, I think your background music should be a bit lower. Like 10-20% lower.

And I’m not sure that two face was plan to be in the dark knight movie in the beginning because Christopher Nolan wasn’t sure if he Wes going to make a sequel.

I hated how Ellen Yin was taken out of the show

I won't lie, this video hienstly made me feel ill with the filter on it. I love the content but the presentation wasnt good.

Ow

I'm going to be real with you. When I was a kid, I grew up watching reruns of the old 90s Batman TV show. It was my favorite thing to watch so when the new 2004 The Batman show came out, I was expecting to like it just as much. I did not like it; In fact, I hated it. The art style the voice of Batman him being a kid and not the aged more refined Bruce Wayne/Batman we all know. I really disliked it. Of course, I still watched it every Saturday morning because of one thing; Ethan Bennett. He was mysterious, interesting and I never quite knew where they were going with him. By the end of the first season, I wanted to know everything about him and luckily, they continued with his character. It got more depressing though but I'm sure you're saving that for another video. If I had a job, I would sign up for your Patreon in a heartbeat because I've been loving your videos but all I can do with it right now is like and subscribe and try to give a nice comment to boost your engagement. I look forward to watching more of your videos and I really hope you continue with Ethan Bennett's story because there's much more to get into. His story is a tragedy that all should know. Both in the show and how they wrote him off.

I don’t really see much of a reason to put this version of Clay face in the comic we already have two face and a bunch of clay faces and would be reprinting a two face and clayface mash together character and nothing much special to his character.I think he just fine being a character only to this show and if anyone disagrees with my thoughts please tell me why.

I feel like bennet could be reintroduced in a story as a deep cover cop in order to somewhat justify his acting prowess and some of that instability he has in the show.
