Review:

This episode didn’t necessarily have to be part two of two. In fact, I would have liked it more if it wasn’t. The lack-luster drawing and not that exciting script sort of ruined the whole story. It seemed rushed and sort of a “we have to end this somehow. . .” episode.

A nice fight between Red Claw or Catwoman would have been nice, but Batman hitting a woman probably wasn’t allowed at the time which is unfortunate since both femme fatales could hold their own against the Dark Knight.

Having Catwoman team up with Batman was nice, but it was way too early in the series. It would have been better to have Catwoman a villain for a longer period of time and then turn good.
