    if the source magazine has 5 mic, I give this ep. five bats!!!!!!! hide show

    From start to finish this was classic all the way.
    we get to see mr. freeze revamped and he looks more cold, pun intended. the story is about why is Freeze committing crimes without taking money and why he showed up now and not when his wife was cured. We learn shockinly the answers to these
    questions. If your watching this ep for the first time the story does not give itself away and you go along for the ride beleive you me!!!! This connects with the movie sub zero but you don't have to watch that movie to enjoy this ep. Mr. Freeze has some classic lines in this ep. and you'll love it when you hear it.

    Do you agree?

    Freeze returns to "steal hope" hide show

    this episode is actually kinda sad depending on how sensitive u are as a viewer and depending on ur POV. Freeze is one of those tragic villians in that he's not really "evil" or "pyschotic" like most of Batman's rogues but nevertheless, he goals and methods always seemed to leave him labeled cold-hearted and cruel. i think sub-zero showed that he still knew how to be "human" , but this episode basically showed us that he was probably unhinged when he realized what was happening to him and what was going to happen and the fact that his estranged wife had moved on believing him to be dead. it really is kinda sad...
