What Would Batman Do?

Who are your top three favorite Batman villains ?  No, not him.  Get rid of that guy.  Close.  Now just replace him with — yeah, you got it!  Catwoman, Poison Ivy, and Harley Quinn.  These three queens of crime make up the protagonists of Warner Brothers and Noodle Soup Productions’ Gotham Girls , a Flash animation series that ran from 2000 to 2002 (if you haven’t seen it yet, it’s new to you).

The plots are generally pretty childish and nowhere near the darkness we’ve seen in Batman: The Animated Series or, most recently, The Dark Knight .  However, it’s compeletly free and the majority of episodes actually have some level of interactivity (insert emoticon that starts singing Rick Astley when you click on it).  Add to that cameos by Zatanna, Renee Montoya, and Batgirl (who else can capure female criminals?) and you have a pretty solid show.  Tara Strong and Jennifer Hale lend their voice talent to the project and they don’t disappoint.  I just wish we saw some scenes of Poison Ivy dropping a seed from between her lips into the mouth of an unsuspecting teenage boy whose stomach explodes in an orgy of flailing vines and daffodils.  You can’t have it all.
