Batman: The Animated Series
Episode 71
The Terrible Trio
Not a very exciting episode. The villains aren’t likable at all. Their motivation for the crimes aren’t relatable. Batman shouldn’t have the problems he does taking them down. Three rich guys are bored and decide to do robberies. The crimes get more and more reckless until Batman eventually stops them.
It’s a nice twist from the standard crazy villain batman deals with but the episode truly lacks real excitement and fun. Perhaps it’s because these aren’t the standard villains Batman faces off against that make the episode such a dud. Every story choice made is the correct choice but the episode just doesn’t hold up. Perhaps the problem is this story can be applied to any procedural crime show and still work. It is not uniquely Batman and feels more like a Magnum PI episode.
