Camp Crusaders! - A Riddle A Day Keeps the Riddler Away / When the Rat's Away the Mice Will Play

Batman: Season One, Episodes 11-12

Personal Rating: C

Meh.  With Batman, that’s still okay, but… meh.  Maybe it’s my anti-Riddler prejudice.

Villain Spotlight:

I still maintain that some of these villains are just as menacing and disturbing as they are comic:  “Genius… sheer genius!” says the Riddler to his own hands, before kissing them.

Social Commentary:

Citizen Batman reminds us that the security of all foreign visitors, whether peasant or king, is “the essence of our democracy.”

The Zen of Camp:

“You want a piece of cheese?” asks a pseudo-costumed River Rat gang member.

“Not without a good vintage port, you lackey,” replied the kidnapped king.

“I’ll never understand how girls like you get involved in things like this,” says Batman.

“Kicks, I guess,” replies the villain’s henchwoman.

Other Cool Stuff:

Batman’s handwriting on the blackboard in the Bat Cave is absurdly neat and clear.
