    Wow... hide show

    This episode and "Mad Love" are the two best of the hole series, and in the top 10 of BTAS. Just watching all this...gives me the creeps...Alfred saving Bruce's life from Gordon!! The Gotham Police in the Bat-cave! Dick's secret identity discovered...the only thing that i didn't like of the episode was the fight with the scarecrow, then suddenly she dies and dream her worst fears, I saw that coming. But the episode still is a Top 10 of the hole DCAU. And then Bruce looking at the picture of his parents and saying..."I'm sorry"..OMG! It was awsome!!!And to see the Scarecrow again was excellent.

    Amazing great. hide show

    This episodes is the best. Seriously I saw this years ago and i though it was amazing. This episode hasbeginning that you wont imagine. When Batman is chased by the police you wonder what has happened? Well as Batman explains to Nightwing Bat girl gets killed by the scare crow and know commissioner Gorden thinks he is responsible and the hunt is one and as the Bruce lives in protected in seclusion the tension rises also on of the great parts of this episodes is battle between him and the dangerous Bane which i thought was a classic the scene. The ending is also unpredictable when you find out it was bat girl's dream.That is it gotta fly. P.S. I was ManBat!!!

    The Best Episode Of TNBA! hide show

    Without a doubt this is the best episode of "The New Batman Adventures". It has everything. Action, drama, humor, suspense and even death!

    The scene when Scarecrow knocks Batgirl of the roof and she falls to her death - hitting the police car with her father inside - is shocking and not something you'd expect to see in a cartoon. The actions of Commisioner Gordon are completely understandable and that's what makes the story work so well.

    Seeing the cops raid the Batcave and everything Bruce has worked towards being destroyed is also a very effective scene. Another great thing about this episode is the return of Bane. He's a lot meaner and scarier than his first appearance on BTAS and his fight with Batman at the end is epic. He also delivers the creepiset line of the entire series when he tells Gordon (who is dangling over a ledge and about to fall) to "give your dear Barbara a kiss from me".

    The ending is somewhat expected but you don't feel cheated because you get a great episode out of it and there's also a surprising revelation in the very last scene. Watch this episode and I guarantee you'll be hooked on Batman.

    Barbara's greatest fear comes to life. hide show

    I love how this episode let's us in on Barbara's greatest fear come to life: The discovery of her secret destroying everything she holds dear. I only wish that they would have had Dick show a little more emotion about her death. It also allows us to see that Batman can show a little emotion too. But all in all, a great episode and a must see!
