Batman: The Animated Series
Episode 28
Dreams in Darkness
Another great episode, Batman gets thrown in Arkham Asylum after getting exposed to Scarecrow’s fear toxin. The cure is a shot that will knock him out for a few days. But Scarecrow is poisoning the water supply and Batman needs to stop him ASAP. The doctors at Arkham don’t believe him and conveniently won’t take off his mask because they are concerned it will cause catatonia. Batman bust lose, defeats Scarecrow while under the toxin. Alfred then gives Batman the shot in the comfort of the…Batcave. The cold, drafty, damp, Batcave.
There’s a lot of great action in this episode and the questioning of Batman’s sanity is amazing. The excuse to keep his mask on works well enough. There’s a reference to Joker having the name Jack Napier which is the same name he has in the Tim Burton film but later episodes reveal it’s just one of many aliases the Joker uses.
