| Review With this season’s track record jumping up and down constantly, it’s hard to say whether or not this show is worth recommending to anyone,
as you can absolutely love the previous week’s episodes and spend the rest of the week dreading the upcoming episode. Episodes like this don’t help the problem, but don’t add to it either. Story-wise, this episode had very little going for it. The villains had no reason to team up, hell, Firefly had absolutely no reason to be there,
there was no motivation as to why they wanted to completely freeze the city over and to be completely honest, in this particular episode; it
really doesn’t matter, not in the slightest. The episode is still a must see. True, the episode gains points because it’s doesn’t suffer from the same cringe worthy scenes and there are very few, if any ‘eye rolling’
moments, but that’s not the reason why this should, nay, must be recommended to all. It’s because the episode is simply beautiful to
watch. The camera angles, the animation the backgrounds, the layouts, storyboarding is all absolutely perfect throughout, and is easily
The Batman’s finest visual fest, which is a great accomplishment considering just how good this show actually looks. Even the use of CG doesn’t stick out.
The winter setting looks stunning in The Batman’s Gotham City, just as is it did in Batman: The Animated Series‘ “A Bullet For Bullock.” So, in the rarest of events, this reviewer isn’t especially bothered that the villains lacked any development, the story
was silly to begin with and the lack of any spark in Joseph Kuhr’s (great screen name!) script. The 20 minutes just flew by, as I was simply absorbed in the episodes beauty. And if you don’t believe me, well, watch and learn.
