Episode Summary

EDIT

AIRED: 5/5/06

"Robbie the Bird Wonder" returns from the South, only to get a jumpstart from Bat Hound because his superheroing hasn't been doing well. Both Robbie and Streaky notice that Krypto and Bat-Hound is missing, however, but manage to find where they are with Krypto wearing kryptonite over his neck and Bat-Hound tied to Krypto on a rocket. Streaky tries to save them, but gets caught as well. It turns out Isis and Mechanikat have teamed up, so now Robbie will have to save the day, despite having a bad time rounding up crooks.moreless

Robbie the Bird Wonder returns to help Streaky find Krypto and Bat Hound.

9.8

By kryptofreak120, May 05, 2006

Streaky finally meets the elusive Bird Wonder, who explains that Krypto and Bat Hound are missing, and suggests that Isis is behind it (in the beginning scene, you see them chase Isis and get caught). Apparently, Robbie came back from down South to find Bat Hound and learn from him some more (saying that no one takes him seriously). Isis has teamed up with Mechanikat and plans to send Krypto and Ace to him. Streaky gets captured as well (goes too close to the kryptonite by accident), and Robbie is forced to tackle Isis and rescue his friends.

Perhaps a bit too short. I would've liked to see Robbie in action more, but it really is nice to see him return (originally, he was thought to be a one-shot character, but not anymore). Worth a view, and you won't be disappointed. 9.8/10moreless

Isis captures Krypto and Ace and Streaky and Robbie team up to save them in this admittedly entertaining (not perfect, but very little in this world is anyway) eleven minute piece.moreless

This adventure all starts out with Krypto and Ace in pursuit of Isis, and the wily cat managing to cleverly capture both of the World's Finest Canines. Soon after, Streaky is on solo patrol and while trying to save a distressed truck, gets some help, in a round about way, from Ace's former unwanted tagalong Robbie.... who was looking for Ace. The two of them compare notes and set out in the hunt for the captured canine heroes. After some trouble in a warehouse with some cats Streaky was trying to get info out of, Streaky and Robbie end up at an amusement park..... where Streaky manages to locate the World's Finest Canines with his X-ray vision and flies to the rescue..... only to get captured himself because he got too close to the Kryptonite Isis was using to make sure Krypto couldn't break his bonds. When Robbie heads to the rescue of all three heroes, Isis captures HIM too, but the bird manages to trick Isis into putting him in a position to still help the heroes... which he does by pecking away the rope holding the Kryptonite on Krypto. Their strength restored, Krypto and Streaky are easily able to break their bonds and Streaky and Robbie end up chasing Isis into a hall of mirrors, where Robbie's blundering ends up trapping the overconfident Isis.

Now, while this WAS a very entertaining piece (especially with a legitimately clever trap on Isis's part concerning the capture of Krypto and Ace in the first place AND Streaky going into "responsible hero" mode almost immediately after he found out Krypto and Ace were in trouble [enough so to focus completely on the search AND to warn Robbie away when he went in to save Krypto and Ace]), but there were one fairly minor plot holes that kept this from being perfect. One: I would think that Streaky would be smart enough to figure out on his own that it HAD to be Kryptonite keeping Krypto too weak to break those ropes, so he would have Robbie focus on getting the Kryptonite away while HE took care of Isis. My guess is that the writer figured that the episode would have ended a couple minutes too early if they did THAT (and they also wanted to give Robbie a moment of legitimate triumph by having HIM capture Isis after he and Streaky chased her into that hall of mirrors).

Minor script point aside, this WAS, as I said, a very entertaining Streaky/Robbie showcase and, while Robbie is STILL a bit a of bumbler, he at least proved SOMEWHAT more competent than he was in his last appearance (not that it would take much, admittedly, but you get the idea).moreless

  EDIT SHARE
- This is the second time Streaky is exposed to green kryptonite.
  EDIT SHARE
- This is the first time a previously inroduced group of felines is referred to as "The Cannery Cats." The characters initially appeared in "Meet the Dog Stars" where they were unwillingly mutated into giant saber-tooth cats by Snooky.
  EDIT SHARE
- Robbie has a new piece of equipment that he uses in this episode (kind of): Special bombs that unleash super-sticky concentrated cotton candy upon impact.
  EDIT SHARE
- This is the second time Isis has joined forces with another previously used Krypto villain (even if the other villain wasn't playing a direct hand in the action this time). In this case, Isis has allied herself with Mechanikat.
  EDIT SHARE
- This is Robbie's second appearance.
  EDIT SHARE
- Villain(s): Isis, Mechanikat

ALLUSIONS (1)
ADD ALLUSIONS
- The special bombs Robbie now has are a fairly obvious reference to the tools Batman and Robin carry in their utility belts. The shape of these thrown bombs is also similar in outward appearance to the more personalixed gear Robin uses.
