| Review "I admit it. As unprofessional as it sounds, I've fallen in love with my patient." – Alright, so it's not from this episode, so sue me. An employee at a cryogenics plant falls in love with its incarcerated, frozen inmate, Inque. Upon losing his job (he was seen kissing her frozen tube, and his supervisors are not impressed), he releases Inque from her "cell", wanting only one thing in the world – to be like her. Sound familiar? This really reminds me of the BTAS episode "Deep
Freeze", when Grant Walker wishes to have the same condition as Mr.
Freeze. Unlike that episode, the one desiring the other's condition is in love. Inque agrees to help him (though she thinks he's crazy), but on one condition – if he aids her in finding a cure to make her human – or at least able to change into her human form, as seen in "Black Out".
Apparently, being frozen for so long altered her cell structure, rendering her unable to even look human. Inque's new buddy agrees. Awww
– so mushy…no pun. What makes this episode so cool? Well:
? Inque is always animated beautifully, as are the action sequences.
? The romantic aspect of the episode, while a tad forced, is interesting.
? We get to see Bruce in the Batsuit again! Sorta…but this Bat-suit is like a cross between his fire-proof suit in "Torch Song" and Optimus
Prime (from "The Transformers").
? Returning along with Bruce in the Batsuit is the original BTAS musical theme.
? Inque's liquidated buddy is really freaky looking. There were a couple things that I thought about in retrospect, though. If Batman hadn't ever run into Mr. Freeze, would he have ever had the technology to defeat
Inque? Of course he would eventually, but would it have been too late? I also thought the idea of having the finale during a rainstorm was a tad obvious of how Inque would be defeated…and why exactly is this episode entitled "DISAPPEARING Inque" anyways? What's disappearing? My only real problem? Ends too quickly! That's it…everything else is good. |
