[Reaganfan78]

Hello everybody,

Great pick and Thankyou!

[RexRebel]

There are going to be a lot of tough choices in the later rounds.

Mudeslide

hmm

[StrangeVisitor]

I’m still perpetually voting none of the above, since my favorite B-TAS episode won’t appear on this list: (season 3’s second episode Knight Time from Superman - The Animated Series).

[Reaganfan78]

If this tournament continues to be successful, I do plan on doing a tournament for Superman The Animated Series. If you change your mind before Tuesday, feel free to vote before the 2nd round.

[HubCityQuestion]

Lot of tough choices already. But I’ll keep weighing in until we reach a winner.

[Reaganfan78]

I was hoping you show, Thankyou.

[StrangeVisitor]

Thank you - but to be fair, I’ve only seen some random entire episodes of B-TAS so I wouldn’t vote on any actual episodes of the series since I would consider that unfair even if I only tried to vote on those I’ve seen. I know some people do that, and I might, in a different type of tournament such as a bracket of animated DC content, take a position on B-TAS or the DCAU as a whole, etc., BUT this is so specifically asking for judgment on an episode by episode basis of entire season/the series, my participation would be unfair and likely skew the results towards a less valid outcome.

[HubCityQuestion]

Harley and Ivy is a historic episode, but I do think The Mechanic is quietly one of the best in the whole series. No way it advances to the next round but happy to give it my vote.

[Sean-Malloy]

Loving some of the episode picks

[Reaganfan78]

Bumming this up so people can see this,

So you are not working?

[Reaganfan78]

Today is a last day to vote before going into round 2.
