The Arkham Sessions, Ep. 258 – Gargoyles: Deadly Force

One of the most controversial episodes of the early ’90s, Disney’s Gargoyles animated series, “Deadly Force” depicts the serious topics of criminal gangs, gun violence, and PTSD. Broadway becomes a fan of westerns, and often mimics the action heroes he sees on screen. While visiting Elisa, he excitedly re-enacts scenes from movie while playing with her unsecured firearm. In a moment of recklessness, the Gargoyle accidentally shoots Elisa.
