It’s time for a two-episode arc titled “Heart of Steel,” and I have to say, I wasn’t expecting it to focus on A.I.! What makes it even more interesting is how coincidental the subject feels given the current state of the world.

I definitely had a lot of fun with this arc, and I’m especially glad my prediction about the motive turned out to be wrong! Sometimes, being surprised is half the fun.

What did you think of these two episodes? Did the A.I. angle surprise you as much as it surprised me?

Drop your thoughts in the comments below, and enjoy the ride!

An extremely underrated story imo, and one that the writers clearly had great love for, considering it got to be one of the lucky handful to be a two-parter. The topics and themes of A.I., how advanced yet dangerous it could possibly be, how it was literally replacing people, very ahead of the curb (though far from the first to do it). H.A.R.D.A.C. was based off of H.A.L. 9000 from ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’. The story of the father and creator losing his daughter to what I can only presume to have been a drunk driver and then, out of anger, having the thought to build human replicants to replace those who might not act accordingly (drunk drivers for example), is heartbreaking to me. HARDAC, however, in pure logic, assessed then that technically all humans will act in that manner at any given time, and so took things too far. The debut of Barbara Gordon! I’ve been waiting for it. Her purple attire throughout the episode was a very subtle reference to her purple suit from the Adam West show, where the character actually originated from. She’s around very often in BTAS, but when she is, her character is always being developed. TNBA used her in prominence though, once things with her were in full swing.

Good old Adam West Batman.. where she asks for equal pay to Robin and Batman tells her they don't have time for this nonsense. LMAO. Crazy times. Definitely enjoyed this 2 parter. As you mentioned, it's incredibly heartbreaking and depressing that he was pushed to such thoughts. Definitely underrated.

Barbara's character arc in this series is phenomenal, you're gonna love it. Fun Fact: HARDAC is voiced by Jeff Bennett, who is probably best known for voicing Johnny Bravo. However, you probably remember him as the voice of Prowl on Transformers Animated. Side Note: Interestingly enough, Bennett would later voice another AI villain in 2004's The Batman. The Digitally Advanced Villain Emulator or DAVE.

She really does have some excellent growth, although Bruce Timm’s fetish for a relationship between her and a certain someone is REALLY a drag on this side of the DCAU. Going down the Jeff Bennett rabbit hole, I didn’t realize just how many different characters that he’d voiced over his career. It’s truly incredible.

The man has range.

"Whoa, Mama!" Never knew who voiced him or Prowl, but cool to know! He definitely has range. Good thing he didn't get typecast as A.I characters. XD He apparently voices the Joker in the Scooby-Doo & Batman: The Brave and the Bold. That's interesting! Can't wait to see her journey in BTAS. I don't know a ton about her besides being Batgirl or Oracle. I know Joker shoots her in the spine at one point. That's it, so this will be fun!
