ROGUE SPEEDSTER
Beware The Batman- Allies (Review)
From Left to Right-Alfred, Katana (Tatsu Yamashiro), Batman, Barbara Gordon, Batlight signal, Milo Match (Some people have been calling him Phosphorus Rex, but I don't know), and Cauldron Ghost.
Review: This weeks episode started off great. We got to see how Tatsu was being overprotected by her partner/sidekick Batman. It was funny to see how serious Batman was being about the whole thing. Eventually this became to be the birth of Katana. The episode progressed to show the return of Tobias Whale and how he wanted to steal Stagg goods, now that he was in jail. We got to see a progression greatly in this episode with the Gordon-Batman relationship. As Tobias whale sends Milo, his assistant, to capture Barbara and Gordon is left with no choice but to consult Batman, which brought upon the introduction of the Bat signal. This scene in particular really reminded me of TDK and how awesome the camera work on this show is, and just the movement in general. Anyway, we go onto see Batman going into the Gotham slums section called the Cauldron where there is a secret (but not so secret to Batman) cult called the Ghosts. It was very cool to see that the show is not afraid to introduce lesser known characters and settings. Batman defeats the Ghosts with the surprise help of Katana, in full uniform, and with Gordon and Tobias Whale, they go into the building that Milo has captured Barbara in. We see that Milo is indeed a secondary villain as Barbara said, and that he has pyro abilities. I wish that there was a little bit more expansion on the villains front, but he is a secondary villain, so it does make sense. As Barbara was freed we get some foreshadowing of how Batman wouldn't mind a female sidekick and how she would love to get a grappling hook. This line reminded me of Batgirl becoming paralyzed after dropping off a cut grappling hook. This was most likely not what the show was going for. In that scene I was also glad to see how Gordon had played fun with Barbara telling her that she's never receive one. Verdict: overall this episode was as amazing as the previous one. Although it does have it's flaws, such as bad villain development and the classic damsel I'm distress. Either way, the pros outweigh the cons. I give this episode a 7.5/10. The episode was great, but it wasn't my favorite, when compared to the amazing previous episodes. Again I apologize greatly for the lateness of this review, and I am hoping to review today's episode fairly quickly. Stay tuned!
