Camp Crusaders! – Death in Slow Motion / The Riddler’s False Notion

Batman, Season One, Episodes 31-32

Personal Rating: B-
The silent movie theme is kind of cute.  And, for some reason, the Riddler is slightly more tolerable to me in this episode.  Maybe it’s just the idea of him as a film director. 

Social Commentary:
Batman is shocked to find that the library is closed due to lack of funds. 

Riddler, while spiking some lemonade: “That should bring out the temper in these temperance fellows.”  “Citizens!” roars Batman, when the room erupts into a fight.

The Zen of Camp:
Sleeping-Cream Pies!

Batman: “True.  You owe your life to dental hygiene…”

Other Cool Stuff:
Commissioner Gordon administers Bat Gas to himself, on a handkerchief.  “I feel as if I’ve awakened in some future age,” he marvels, when he awakens at the Batcave.
