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

 Batman: The Animated Series

Episode 67 

A Bullet for Bullock

 


Another underrated episode.  This episode explores the character Harvey Bullock.  He’s a cop who hates Batman that leaves fans wondering why Commissioner Gordon doesn’t just fire him, why is he part of the inner circle?  His episode sums up his character fairly well.  He’s a cop who’s very rough around the edges but ultimately a good person.  He’s not crooked, just a jerk.  Bullock wants to put an end to crime just as much as Batman does.  His dislike for the caped crusader while not thoroughly explained or justified in the episode, at least makes you understand what type of person he is.  It was based on the Detective Comics #651 and was as solid of an adaptation that anyone can ask for.
