I like all of the gloomy music that plays in the background when Spellbinder and Batman are in battle.

I like all of the characters in this episode. They did a good job designing Spellbinder. This is a very exciting episode and this episode always makes me feel refreshed after I'm done watching this episode. On a scale of 1 to 100 I rate this episode 96.8%. And why does Spellbinder have to look so scary?.

A FANTASTIC episode introduction for the coll villain Spellbinder

8.9

By gamerboy190, May 10, 2006

A FANTASTIC episode introduction for the coll villain Spellbinder. Spellbinder in the Batman Beyond series, sucked. This new and improved version of the spellbinder is a great new design for spellbinder. a good Alfred spotlight episode. Even though he didn't mean to do the things he did, It was very creative on the writers parts to include the butlers instead of bruce wayne beating down and tracking clues all the time. It was nice to see Alfred in the action. What also made this episode good was the illusions that spellbinder made on the batman thinking he has all of these bugs. I hope to see spellbinder in another episode.moreless

Spellbinder a new villan with the power of hypnotism comes to Gotham and uses Alfred to do his bidding.

9.1

By riddler062, Aug 20, 2005

I thought this was one of the best episodes I have seen so far. It had a cool story line a cool new villian and everything. like in Ragdolls to Riches it gave a hint to the identity of one of the villians. It seemed to me that the story of the villian was linked to Bruce's beginnings as the Batman and that was cool to hear a little about the shows thoughts on the recent film. On thing though that I didnt like was that the episode was to focused on Alfred and so little o0n Bruce who is the Batman. All in all though this episode was definitely on the cool chartsmoreless

- The eye of Sarkana is archived in the Batcave trophy room.
  EDIT SHARE
- In the comics, Spellbinder was originally Delbert Billings, a crook who invented hypnotic weapons that he used to commit crimes. He was defeated by Batman on several occasions, and was later shot by his girlfriend Fay Moffit, who took his weaponry and became the second Spellbinder. The Spellbinder seen here bears little resemblence to either one from the comics.
