Review: An excellent episode, possibly the best of the season. (People will hate me for this, but Over
The Edge's effect was lost once the ending was revealed. Growing Pains' ending was real continuity, therefore much more dramatic.) This episode brought us additional character into Robin which had not been established before. It also revealed exactly what happened to
Clayface after Mudslide. Also included was some glances of the slums of
Gotham where the homeless community lives. More of this should be explored in a future episode. The animation and drawing was superb, with Clayface acting more fluid and monster like, he was almost scary. There was also great rotating animation (seeing Robin swing past the screen), running animation, and fighting animation. If there is any episode this season that you could see, it should be this one. |
