"Perchance to Dream" is the second episode on my second volume of the Batman: the animated series DVD collection (hmm, shouldn't they have found a way to package it so that that episode was a Two-Face one? Discuss). It's one of my favorites, or at least one of the most memorable for me, as, ever since, I've been able to identify BTAS fans without geeking out on fandom first by seeing if they know the trick that Bruce uses to realize his world isn't quite as it seems.

I still feel cheated by the episode a little, as I know I've read things in my dreams...

But really, Batman has to call up an obscure fact like the hemisphere of the brain responsible for dreaming does not include the ability to read to figure out that his parents being alive, his engagement to a de-clawed (heh, it works on two levels) Selena Kyle, and him not being Batman isn't a sign things aren't real?

How could he ignore this?

The godawful hat on Selena's head wasn't his biggest clue right there that this world was wonky? Sheesh. World's Greatest Detective, my ass.
