Quotes
BATMAN: Commissioner?
BULLOCK: No. Me. I got a problem
BATMAN: And you want my help?
BULLOCK: Let's get something straight. I think you're a freak and a
menace and those are your good points. But the Commish says you serve a
purpose so I go along.
BATMAN: I appreciate your honesty.
--
ALFRED: We are speaking of the same person, are we not? Harvey Bullock?
The detective who looks like an unmade bed?
--
BULLOCK: You got the right to remain silent. If you give up that right,
you'll probably bore me to tears so keep your trap shut, dog breath.
--
BULLOCK: When are you gonna give me that list of names?
HE TURNS AROUND TO SEE BATMAN'S CAPE HEADING OVER THE BALCONY.
BULLOCK: I wonder how Gordon puts up with this.
--
MONTOYA: Bullock? You okay? You don't look so good. I mean, you never
look good, but today you look worse.
--
BULLOCK LOOKS AROUND THE BATMOBILE'S COCKPIT.
BULLOCK: Nice starship you got here. What's this for?
HE BEGINS TO PRESS A BUTTON.
BATMAN: Passenger ejector seat.
BULLOCK PULLS AWAY.
--
BULLOCK: By he way, I still think you're a freak. . . but thanks.
Review: This episode was
superb! It was a great version of one of those hard-boiled 40's
detective pulps. This was the best rendition of a previously
only-in-the-comics story. The ending was also wonderfully played, with a
surprise character being behind the crime. The fight vs Vinnie the Shark
was also great, especially with the saxophone version of the Batman
theme intertwined with the gangster music.
There were also nice scenes developing a relation between Batman and
Bullock and also between Bullock and Summer Gleeson. It's too bad that
the latter wasn't bridged out upon. It seemed that they could have even
had something together at one point. . . ?
The animation was also great, with nice shadows, great designs for new
characters (Vinnie, the rooftop thug and Bullock's landlord.) The
characters moved well, keeping their consistency and moving like real
people would during the fight.
