The tried-and-true pitch of "Bruce Wayne pilots a giant punching robot" is still as effective as ever. And you really can't talk The Big O without mentioning Batman: The Animated Series in the same breath.

While not the global sensation its creators hoped the series would be, The Big O nonetheless remains a showcase in what make animation such a creative and compelling medium.

Musical tracks in this episode:

“Big O!” - Rui Nagai

“Giant Robo” - Masamichi Amano

“Tetsujin 28-Gou” - Akira Senju

“Red Baron Opening Theme” - Bob Sakuma

“Batman The Animated Series - Main Title” - Danny Elfman
