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

 Batman: The Animated Series

Episode 55

The Mechanic

 


Not a terrible episode but not too exciting.  The Penguin figures out who Batman’s mechanic is, holds him hostage until he sabotages the Batmobile.  The mechanic makes a trap door to save batman.  This episode wouldn’t be as bad as it is, except the same gimmick was done in Batman Forever.  Penguin episodes weren’t the best in BtAS.  

 

One of the nicer moments was the flashback to how Batman found Earl the mechanic.  We also like the concept he doesn’t do this alone and has an entire staff on secret payroll helping him with his gizmos.  Worth a watch.
