Quotes
BATMAN: Get out! Now!
BATMAN KICKS THE DOOR OPEN.
SHERMAN: Y-- Yes, sir!
--
MOM: Sherman! What are you doing down there?
SHERMAN: Nothing, Mom!
MOM: You're not trying to make gun powder again, are you?
SHERMAN: No, Mom! Honest!
ROBERTA: We just saved Batman's life, Mrs. Grant, and now we're hiding
him from some bad criminals.
MOM: That's good, just don't make a mess.
--
PENGUIN: Stone walls do not a prison make, nor locked doors a barricade.
Gentlemen, and I use the term loosely, after you.
--
PENGUIN: Ohh, how bourgeois. Tearing this place apart could only improve
it!
--
SHERMAN: Uh, Mom, I'd like you to meet Batman. Batman this is my Mom.
BATMAN: Ma'am.
MOM: Uh, Hello.
SHERMAN: Say, Batman, you wouldn't be single, would you?
Review: A very poor episode in
all ways. The whole idea of the Penguin being outsmarted by some
children is quite pathetic, and should have been left to some sort of
60's show. Maybe not even the 60's. . .
The animation and drawing were both quite badly done especially
proportioning and how the characters held untrue to human form. There
were also some goof ups like Sherman hitting the 'off' button the start
the bird seed machine. Other lame scenes included the Penguin and his
men clinging to the top of the Batmobile as Sherman drove and Batman
fencing with the Penguin while using a Phillip's Flathead Screwdriver as
a weapon. Yeesh.
