After giving a stirring speech at the graduation class of Aaron Burr High School, Robin is sidetracked by Pussycat and cat-scratched with the drug Cataphrenia, which turns him into a criminal that obeys Catwoman's commands. After roughing up Chief O'Hara, The ex-Boy Wonder departs as a new member of The Catwoman's covey! O'Hara quickly alerts Commissioner Gordon who alerts Batman...but meanwhile, with Robin's help, Catwoman steals $200,000 from Wayne Manor - her first step toward raising the million dollars she needs to purchase the plans to The Gotham City Mint. Aware that the police are hot on her trail, The Catwoman threatens to kill The Boy Wonder should the law try to intervene. Consequently, Batman must act on his own. Mayor Linseed is desperate.

After Catwoman succeeds in perpetrating two more heists, Batman divines that her next job will be at Prince Ibn Kereb of Gedalia's weighing-in ceremony, where the Prince equals his weight in greenbacks. Batman arrived to do battle with Catmen Spade, Marlowe and Templar, but he finds that he must now deal with the drugged Robin, whom Catwoman sics on "the blue dragon". Batman allows the boy to rough him up and crash a chair over him. When the Caped Crusader tails the gang to Catlair West, and finds Robin all tied up, he thinks he has played possum and rushes over to free him, but when he does, he finds that Robin has played possum...just not in the way that Batman believes, though, and he is caught in a Cattrap. Batman finds himself dangling mere feet above certain death, tied to a giant mousetrap that will spring shut just as soon as The Boy Wonder finishes sawing away at the rope...unless Batman accepts Catwoman's offer to join her side and be subjected to the Cataphrenia.

    It's sometimes a common things in all sidekicks, eventurally they all go their own way to be their own person whether it's the path of good or evil. This episode is another favorate of mine, it's Batman at it's best. One of the things I really liked is just seeing Robin going bad it was hillarous and fun, there is just something about seeing superheroes steping to the bad side that interesting may'be because it somehow enhances their character or gives them even more freedom than before, I don't know whatever the case it works.

    But of course the real joy was just Catwoman herself whom is really crafty this time, the romantic and conflicting interplay between both Batman and her was always interesting to me because it was strangely sweet, both are just a good couple despite being dynamic opposites.

    Then we see the fight between Batman and Robin. Robin thogh wins by sucker punching him with a chair from behind, yeah that will always get a person. But of course as usual we would see a creatively daft death device at the cliffhanger a giant mouse trap, I'll admit as a kid I was worred from the fact that Robin was the one doing the cutting of the trap. Wonder how Batman is going to get out of this one.moreless
