Beware The Batman
#2 - Secrets

Original Airdate - July 20th, 2013
Batman is hot on the heels of an extremely clever and dangerous thief named Magpie (Grey Delisle), who not only sports razor sharp talons laced with poison and an invulnerability to pain, but she also steals the memories of her victims. But Batman is not the only one on her trail. Lieutenant James Gordon (Kurtwood Smith) is after her as well ... and the two will ultimately go head-to-head to catch that thief.

Written by Mitch Watson
Directed by Rick Morales

Analysis by Yojimbo:

Loving this series. I have to rewatch and pause and play to get everything down just like with Young Justice. With Green Lantern: The Animated Series, we had a lot of construct fights but here on Beware The Batman, the hand to hand fights seem so much cooler in Green Lantern: The Animated Series. But woof in reaction to Magpie and her ...design. Scantily-ness.

Characters
Barbara - Thought it was cute she's trying to be a cop like her old man, calling Jim 'Lieutenant' instead of 'Dad' and always wanting to help him on Batman cases.

Gordon - It's going to be interesting seeing a Jim that's not chums with Batman. Hope they milk that as long as they can. I liked how this episode went back and forth on Batman and Jim's detective work and their eventual intersection. And Batman vanished on him, lol!

Tatsu - Mm. So she's Alfred's goddaughter. Interesting. And her grumbling in the limo, ha ha. Gold. "I need to punch something" and calling Bruce a marshmallow. lmao.

Batman - Who said this was a costume? Nice. Even though we all know Batman's origin, I was surprised they did the flash to the Wayne murder during the ink blot scene.

Lunkhead - I felt a little sympathy for Lunkhead when Jim said Batman put him in a coma for 2 months. But there's always two sides to the story. Lunkhead is still a criminal. And there could have been some accident Batman got pinned for doing on purpose.
