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

 Batman: The Animated Series

Episode 43

Moon of the Wolf

 


There’s a werewolf causing problems in Gotham.  The werewolf is a genetic mutation of an athlete Anthony Romulus who used steroids made by Professor Milo.  The steroids made him the best athlete ever, beat drug tests, turns him into a monster on the full moon.  Milo is blackmailing him with the cure to preform illegal task but Batman is hot in his trail.

 

The main complaint about the episode is the audio for the wolf.  It sounds over modulated.  It’s irritating.  The episode is a nice allegory about the dangers of steroids.  Cheating in sports might get you millions of dollars but eventually it will all come crashing down.  Lance Armstrong didn’t exist when this episode aired but he should have watched the episode.  Instead he’s a disgraced athlete isolated from society with only his tens of millions of dollars to comfort him.
