When a young rich kid inherits his father's computer company he is quickly overwhelmed and activates an old program to assist him .Seems grampa had his brain digitized to live on after death but his son never activated him.
Now grandads absorbing the internet, giving orders and generaly behaving like megalomaniacal super computers do in these shows.
During an encounter with batsy he downloads himself into the suits control systems and takes over.

Planning on a more conventional body gramps prepares to transfer himself to his sonny boy and retain control of the company.
Terry goes to confront the super biatch computer with only a nightwing mask and a batarang.
After sustaining a severe ass kicking terry is eventually triumphant and frees sonny boy while deleting old timer.

I like this one
it strips away terry from all his advantage and shows him to be a true hero.
He goes to face certain doom against a superior foe simply because as batman he can do nothing else.

A true classic

With a super fighter in the hands of one of gothams street gangs batman finds himself outclassed by the superior technology of the combat vehicle.

Eventually he teams up with a scientist dr price who is also looking for the machine.
Execept for slighty differnt reasons.
It seems the craft has a fatal design flaw in its reactor core.Continued use of the thing could cuase a catastrophic breach and vapourise half the city.
She give batso the means to take the craft out of comission,if he can just survive long enough to use it.

I found this episode quite amusing despite the high stakes of the plot.
the freaky joker pilot was hilarious in places and seemed to get all the best lines.

Not the deepest ep
but a fine addition

The latest fad in gotham is teenagers getting genetic modification.Having animal genes inserted into thier dna for asthetic and practical reasons.
For once in this kinda show there little to no squeamish soapbox stuff about playing god.
The characters are more concerned with the increased levels of agression some kids exhibit after the procedure.
When batsy go snooping around chimera institute at night
he is beaten by several augments and injected with a bat gene serum.He escapes back the batcave were a shocked bruce reverses the process.

Once fully human again the batman returns to chimera to shut them dowm
Permanently
Unfortunatly doctor psycho has taken some of his own medicine and is a very tough customer

Terry becomes a bat
this gained a suprising amount of sympathy from me a he hides in a corner of the batcave desperate and terrified until bruce finds him.
Asks a lot of questions under the surface
about whether or not if we have the capability to do something we should always do it.
like genetic modification.
THankfully it doesnt ram its creator opinions down our collective throat unlike star trek

good bat action

A man with poor taste in clothes and a shiney ball tempts young people into commiting crimes.

Terrys friends commit robberies on behalf of a masked individual .
can our hero stop this hypno toad villian before the end of humanity?
(okay a slight exageration
its only theft not the end of the world as we know it)

Not my favourite villain to be honest
he just dint seem that menacing
he does get better though
the addiction allegory he appears in is great
as is his framing of terry for mad stans murder

but as it stands an okay ep
no great shakes as my granddad would say
if he were still alive of course
not 6 feet under

A scientist is sent to kill wanye and batso with his sonic power suit, by powers.Powers is looking to expand the company into the historical district and demolish the old building in the process.
Wayne is rousing the shareholders against him

The scientists shreve
quickly demolishs most of old town and put wayne in hospital .There he starts to hear voices taunting him and telling him to commit suicide.

Msginnis must bust wayne out of the gotham mental home and prove hes not mad and of course take town shreve now calling himself shriek.

Okay the villian has a cool outfit and good powers .
Hes now push over this is all good.
The "wayne go crazy" plot was alot darker than toons normally get.As was wayne's reason for not wanting to forget the historical district where his parents were murdered.Well done to them.
The final battle had a slightly poetic twist at the end
sucks to be shreve.

My bugs are few
this plot was used a few eps ago the whole "wayne opposes powers and hire a supervillian to ice him" plot was done in black out and done better.

secondly the big one
Shreve a scientist seems to go over tothe dark side with out even a slight push??
was he already a sociopath?
we dont know??
Powers just tells him to do it and thats that
Buh??

A good episode some nice dark turns
watch enjoy
