Review: A good episode, but kids would have no idea what is going on. In fact, a lot of people may not know what is going on without knowing just exactly who this Etrigan character is. I already knew about him, so I understand, but with no real introduction. . . Huh? The animation was spectacular. Everyone was in proportion, and the magical effects were simply amazing! Especially Klarion's cat's transformations into a cat-woman. The Demon moved convincingly as well.
He looked very slow and clunky which was good for his size. The episode was humorous too, especially Batman's subtle lines and the best scene (in my opinion), when Batman simply holds the branding-iron over his head so Klarion has to try and jump to reach it. |
