Camp Crusaders! - Instant Freeze / Rats Like Cheese

Season One, Episodes 7-8

Personal Rating: C+

Villain Spotlight:
Well, Mr. Freeze's heat-cold ray gun is kinda cool.  Otherwise, I’m not particularly inspired.

Social Commentary:
Commissioner Gordon: “No public official elected by the people can allow his emotions to overrule his dedication to duty and carry out the due process of law.”  Stay cool, Mr. Man, stay cool.

The Zen of Camp:
Commissioner Gordon looks on as Batman and Robin are lying in the hospital, frozen in a ridiculous “action crouch” after encountering Mr. Freeze.  He comments, “Two such magnificent specimens of manhood… why?”  

Batman’s intense delivery of the line “No, Robin, a cold wave… of terror.”  He does get really excited about crime fighting, doesn't he?

Other Cool Stuff:
Robin’s "afternoon tea" is an ice cream sundae, served on a platter by Alfred.  It's nice to see that formal standards are maintained, even in the seclusion of the Bat Cave.
