  • We get our first look at Catwoman and quite a sight it is. My only real negative for this episode is the rather lackluster fight scene.

    Batman and Robin are finally matched against the Catwoman. This meeting doesn't have the "charged" interplay between Batman and Catwoman that we come to see in the later episodes. Even Robin is knocked out from the scratch of a real cat and not Catwoman herself.

    After Batman and Robin later fall through a trap door, they are faced with spike-linked walls that start closing in. Batman directs Robin to lay on the floor in order to protect him. This turns out not to be the cliff hanger, however, as the wall stops as Batman finds the spikes are made of rubber. Robin is soon whisked away through a tube in the ceiling leaving Batman alone in the room. Catwoman presents him with the task of choosing one of two doors: one to freedom, the other unleashes a Batman-eating tiger. The episode ends with Batman choosing the "wrong" door.

    • Catwoman: (Batman and Robin in a trap) I'm bored with you, Batman. The time is come to separate Damon from Pythias. In ancient Greece, Pythias and his friend Damon traveled to Syracuse where Pythias was sentenced to death for plotting against the tyrant Dionysius I. Pythias asked to be allowed to return home to settle his affairs. Dionysius vetoed that idea but accepted having Damon as a substitute who would die if Pythias did not return by the appointed time. Pythias went home. The date came and at the last moment Pythias returned apologizing for being late. Pirates had captured his ship and thrown Pythias overboard. Dionysius was so impressed with Pythias' true friendship that he pardon him and kept both friends on as advisers to his court. Edit
