This episode it underrated by everyone (even Bruce Timm),while it definitley does not deserve praise escpecially, it does not deserve the harsh treatment it gets. It had an interesting plot and nice sequences such as the fight above the planaterium with Batman and Lucas, the animation may have been bad, but people should still give this episode more of a chance.
This is a very interesting episode. The episode was not bad and the final scenes are good. The whole prophecy and cult-thing makes it look a little bit special and it does not have any well know villains we have seen before, but the villains were good enough.
The episode has some good music too (As usually in this series)
