One particular striking moment during the final fight of "April Moon".An unknown criminal breaks the bolas thrown on her by Robin.īatman & Robin sit perched on a rooftop watching for criminals. They could've explained that in-universe (didn't want to make the broadcast completely obvious, worried about some villain with some weird power of teleporting through video, who can say), but the number of times Bruce was yelling "Terry, what's going on!?" to an audio feed seemed silly. They did actually show him getting better as a detective, but he did a lot of silly things otherwise, even for an action cartoon.Īnd there's things that aren't explained, like why the video link isn't on all the time. I mean it's the fault of the writers sometimes trying to extend drama, but he makes the same mistakes over and over, he doesn't remember half of the abilities he has when they seem like they would be go-to (his jet boots/wings are broken?
