I think it's a good thing I decided not to try getting the last Unlimited wave. Can't find them anywhere anyway, the only store that still carries them is Kmart and they're stocked full of Planet X Batman, DKR Batman and Batgirl.

Seriously. I'm on the final disc of the last season of BTAS, and you know all of those iconic episodes we all remember? Those are the only good ones. Heart of Ice, Robin's Requiem, Mad Love, the one where Tim tried to protect that girl from Clayface... those were exceptions, not the standard. Some episodes make me cringe just as much as certain 80's cartoons.
