Air Date: September 6th, 1992
Recap:
When a mysterious bat-figure is terrorizing Gotham, the police send out a special task force to hunt Batman down. Batman's investigation leads him to Dr. Langstrom, who believes that humans can only survive evolution by taking on traits of a bat - and his formula will supposedly do just that.
Reflections:
Superhero shows paled in comparison to their comic book counterparts at the time so my hopes weren't too high . Obviously, this shattered all of my low exceptions to the point where I think my parents were worried that their 14 year old son was still into cartoons.
I was also a little surprised that they didn't go with more well-known villain like The Joker to start off the whole series, but it went to show that the series creators didn't need to rely these gimmicks to sell their stories.
Chronology Notes:
This was the first episode produced, but actually the second episode to air, after The Cat and the Claw, Part 1 premiered the day before on Saturday morning. In an unusual move, Fox aired this on Sunday during prime time, which actually isn't so unusual when you realize that it was more mature than most prime time shows at the time.
