This is the coolest thing I've seen in a little while. The Arkham Sessions is a podcast where... some guy, Brian War, and a (hot) psychologist, Dr. Andrea Letamendi, psychologically analyze every single episode of Batman:The Animated Series. I've listened to their analysis of Batman's relationship with Robin via "Robin's Reckoning" and exploring Poison Ivy's character through the episodes "Pretty Poison" and "Home and Garden" (possibly the best Poison Ivy story along with Neil Gaiman's reimagining of her origin in "Secret Origins #36").

Their analyses are intelligent, interesting, deliciously nerdy, and illuminate aspects of the show and its characters in a way that surprises even me at times (though Brian Ward's hypothesis that, in this universe, Batman has killed Joe Chill, leaves me unmoved). There is a Youtube channel with a few of the episodes, but I suspect that most of them have been removed due to the series now being on iTunes. However, you can still listen to them all for free on Dr. Letamendi's site, Under the Mask, which also contains her analyses of other superheroes.

Highly recommend this series.
