**warning major SPOILERS**
Teletoon in Canada just played an episode today that had the Penguin's second appearance in the series. The Penguin broke into Bruce Wayne's home, tied up Alfred, and nearly unmasked the Batman in front of a reporter and her cameraman. I tried looking it up, but I haven't had any luck finding the title of this particular episode. It wasn't The Call of The Cobblepot.

Ya I was going to post this today. I caught the end of the episode and I was suprised to see it on because I didn't know teletoon was airing new episodes first.

I'm sorry I didn't put the "spoilers" in the title, I just assumed that it was already shown in the States first. My bad. : (
(Teletoon will be showing episodes all week-long at 11:00 am)

I wonder if it isn't some mistake. Not to be Americentric but I'm surprised they would show them first out of the country.

[shadow=green,left,300]I've been given the title 'Topsy Turvey' for one of the next two eps...so thats either Penguin or Joker, not sure yet which. Kinda sounds more like a Joker ep to me.[/shadow]

I saw spoilers but couldn't help but look.
I sorta liked the old Penguin better as the businessman/crook....But this one rules too. I really like this new incarnation of the Penguin and can't wait to see him evolve on the show.

[shadow=green,left,300]Oh, its ok, I caught it fairly quickly! Thank you very much for the heads up, any further detail you could provide about the ep would be most welcome![/shadow] No problem, although the 'heads up' was totally accidental. I honestly assumed that this particular episode must have been shown in the States first since Teletoon started the series so late (Dec. 6th). SPOILER Episode details: The episode starts with Penguins birds bringing back stolen loot back to the Penguin on a roof top. The Batman immediately arrives, but Penguin puts up a good fight and escapes with the money. Batman jumps in the Batmobile & pursues Penguin, almost catches him, but the Kabuki twins appear to save Penguin. Penguin & the twins then pull over to watch a T.V. screen where a reporter mentions "A Day In The Life" with Bruce Wayne. Penguin then says "If there's anyone I despise more than the Batman, it's Bruce Wayne." Penguin envies Bruce's good looks & money. While Bruce is off to meet the reporter & her cameraman, Penguin pays a visit to Wayne Manor and ties up Alfred with the help of the Kabuki twins. Penguin trashes Wayne Manor waiting for Bruce to return, and Alfred is able to call Bruce's cell phone. Bruce excuses himself from the reporter and heads to Wayne Manor as the Batman, meanwhile the reporter decides to wait for Bruce back at Wayne Manor. Batman & Penguin fight and Penguin is a real handful, Batman is distracted by the reporter entering and Penguin is able to knock out Batman. Batman is tied up and Penguin offers to unmask him in front of the camera to make himself famous. Alfred saves Batman's unmasking with a chair to Penguins back. While everyone surrounds Alfred, Batman cuts his chains & battles Penguin and the twins. In the confusion, the camera get knocked down and the tape falls out. Alfred 'accidentially' kicks the tape into the fireplace. The battle ends outside with the Penguin tied up. The name "The Dark Knight" is coined by the reporter, she is also suspicious about Bruce & Batman never being in the same place as Bruce just shows up moments after Batman apparently leaves. But the Batman's silouette appears atop the highest roof top of Wayne Manor, so the reporter leaves. It turns out it was Alfred in the Batman suit. I really liked this episode. It had action (glad to see the Penguin hold his own in fights with Batman), and was pretty funny also (I left out the funny bits so as not to ruin the suprises). /\/\att: Is this what you wanted? Was it too detailed or not enough? lmk if you want me to do this again if Canada airs an episode before the States does again. Teletoon is showing mostly repeats all week at 11:00 am, except they will be showing "Q & A" for the first time on Canadian cable on Thursday.

I rushed it while typing. It was my first time giving episode details and I wasn't sure how much of the episode to mention or not mention. I think most will enjoy thie episode and find it rather humourous at certain parts (I did my best not to spoil those moments for everyone) I'll definitely let you know if this coming Sunday's episode is a new one or not EDIT: The guide from GUIDE PLUS+ states that Sunday's episode will be "Topsey Turvey".

I actually caught this episode when it aired.
For Canadians, Teletoon seems to air reruns during the weekdays, and "new" episodes on the weekend. This means they have two run cycles - one for the weekday episodes and one for the weekend episodes. This means that this weekend we'll probably see two new episodes again. Teletoon, much like YTV, seems to unknowingly air all the episodes without really paying attention.
Personally, this episode was a step-up from the previous Penguin episode. It gave the villian a bit more of a character but the writing still suffers abit. Some nice looking fight sequences, though.

Does seem strange that WB would air a new "The Batman" episode in Canada first, Batman being a strong American icon and all...Oh well, who knows what goes on in exec's minds. ;D

Yeah, I'm shocked that Matt would be surprised by Canada's scooping the States with new eps. Makes one suspect there's a bit of randomness to it all, don't it?

I was watching the new Batman...... I'm sorry, but the new "ideal" of the penguin seems too off character. He's a thief who was put down and teased by his peers in school. He rose out of that when he decided to make his own life better by theft and/or blackmailing his "betters". Since when did he become a madman with ninja-like training? He's always had goons for a reason..... A Hannibal mask? Please..... This is more Joker or Zzaz than Penguin. That and he looks like a Playboy mansion reject with the slick red cloak. Musta robbed the Playboy Mansion.... Don't mean to be negative from the first posting, but ...why?

I just checked GEMSTAR's GUIDEPLUS+ for Teletoon's airing of The Batman, and I believe the title of this episode is Bird of Prey, /\/\att have you heard of this title for an episode yet?
