The DC Animated Universe Weekly Review - Batman: The Animated Series

 Batman: The Animated Series

Episode 36

Cat Scratch Fever

 


Roland Daggett is infecting stray cats with a virus that he will then release into Gotham to get everyone sick and then sell them the cure.  Catwoman’s cat goes missing and gets caught up in the shenanigans.  Catwoman is infected and Batman has to save her.

 

Daggett never gets his due in BtAS.  He’s this corporate jerk who keeps squeaking by.  Even if Batman stops his major plans, Daggett never gets tossed in jail.  This is the first episode we see Dr. Milo in.  He’s a recurring jerk throughout BtAS who finally gets his comeuppance in Justice League Unlimited almost a decade later.  

 

Perhaps the episode is a bit too honest.  It’s entirely believable if actual pharmaceutical companies did this.
