Selina Kyle is kidnapped by an evil scientist who turns her into a real cat-woman.

  • Can anyone else say “The Island of Dr. Moreau”? I know you can, and I know Batman can.

    I'm not sure just how unoriginal the Batman writers can be, but this surely is an example of being unoriginally almost entirely. It's pretty obvious that this story was partly lifted from the story "The Island of Dr. Moreau". Of course, there is some originality as this Dr. Moreau has done less "conversions than the book version.

    In this story, the man doctor creates some monkey/ape crosses with cats, and eventually moves to a man/ape hybrid. Finally, he creates "from scratch, so to speak" a cat-man. This cat-man monster (Tygrus) was created not by modifying a man or a cat, but mixing them both in a test tube. That at least is original to this story.

    However, one has to wonder why our Doctor Dorian needs Celina to make a cat-woman, when he has proven able to make a cat-man. Why not just create a test tube verion like Tygrus? This question cannot be answered, but does help to make this episode useless.

    I'm giving this episode half grades since although unoriginal in part, there's enough unique Batman to keep this from the bottom of the barrel. If you like sudden bad to good switches, then you'll like this one.

    But I wonder what will happen to Garth since he would likely of had the "final" dosage?moreless
