Batman: Caped Crusader 04 "The Night of the Hunters"


 From Wiki- After Mayor Jessop orders the creation of a task force to apprehend Batman, Gordon chooses Montoya to run it. Using Dr. Quinzel's insights, corrupt GCPD detectives Harvey Bullock and Arnold Flass use a masked criminal called Firebug as bait to lure out Batman. As part of their plan, they let Firebug go to start a fire. Batman arrives to rescue civilians, evading corrupt SWAT officers led by Bullock and Flass in the process. As Bullock and Flass kill Firebug to cover their tracks, Batman reluctantly works with Jim, who disapproves of the task force's methods, to save the remaining civilians. Me again:

This was better than the last two episodes.  It still breaks no new ground, and was more about Gordon and Montoya than Bruce.  I like both of them, and there were a few seeds set up Montoya and Harleen.    Very nice to see Lois Lane in a cameo, which means of course that a certain man of steel will not make an appearance this season, I am sure.  Batman disappears on Gordon for the first time, so this shows how they become allies, which has never been shown on telly before, I don't think.
