[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 345414, member: 8"] I figured that SHAME the cowboy wouldn't be extravagant enough for a Batman adversary but Cliff Robertson plays it like a big angry child and I thoroughly enjoyed the episodes. [ATTACH type="full"]41612[/ATTACH] Despite Commissioner Gordon's colourful descriptions of the villian-of-the-week it appears that none of Gotham City's notorious foes are actually being hated. In the next episode we see Bruce Wayne & co enjoying a meal in Penguin's restaurant (!!) which appears to be part of a huge forgery scam. Penguin is the villain who often bites the dust throughout the whole episode but he always bounces back and he has an uncanny talent for turning the tables on Batman, as shown in this episode's courtroom scene. Incidentally, this is the second time MOLDAVIA features in a Batman story. [ATTACH type="full"]41613[/ATTACH] [I]Innnnteresting[/I], interesting. I wonder if it was the ketchup. Catwoman is also forgiven, considering her amicable interaction with Commissioner Gordon. Het plotline plot this time is to steal people's voices for ransom and it's the same nonsensical magical device as the Joker's box for time-alteration. I'm not too crazy about these overly simplistic and way too fantastical gadgets without origin. It's not related to the character or her lifestyle, she just "has it" and to me it looks like a very lazy way to get the plot going. Nevertheless, the episode turned out to be hoot and some scenes even made me howl with laughter. Not because of Catwoman, no, this was all about the Boy Wonder.
