That's "The Mask of Matches Malone". An episode from season 2 that was set to air, but CN got cold feet due to a song by the Birds of Prey featured in the episode. The ladies are comparing other heroes to Batman, and say things about the Flash being TOO fast, and Aquman having a "little fish". It made it onto the internet before it was pulled from the schedule. Supposedly, edits were made, but CN still hasn't aired it.

^Thanks--I saw the song clip on youtube awhile back, not realizing it had been yanked.

Tucker mentions his hope that it will see DVD release.

I never missed an episode. As for hero cartoons it was a good romp.
