Quotes

STROMWELL: You! What are you doing?
BATMAN: Saving your hide.

GORDON: What are you looking at?
BULLOCK: Your hair. It looked better on TV.

FIREMAN: There’s no evidence there was anyone inside.
BUM: There was somebody in there! Batman saved his butt! I’ve seen it, man! He was just leapin’ on the rooftops carryin’ somebody on his shoulders! I seen it! Like a dark angel snatchin’ the guy from the fires of Hades, man!

STROMWELL: What is this place?
BATMAN: A drug rehab center.
STROMWELL: No! I ain’t going in! Your ten cent tour of the city is over!
BATMAN PUNCHES THE WALL IN FRONT OF STROMWELL
STROMWELL: So, what could it hurt? One little look, right?

Review:

A very well done gangster episode with no need for super villains. At times, it get a bit slow with Arnold Stromwell’s past being shown twice, but the second time with about 5 seconds of new footage slowed down to make it more dramatic.

A plus in the episode is Batman’s actions to get a criminal out of crime without resorting to violence and throwing the guy in jail. Batman talks things out with Stromwell, and at the same time, the action takes place with Thorne’s gang. The general story was a bit weak, but the tone of a gangster story was just right.
