One hell of a pilot episode!
23 November 2017
It seems there's a half-man/half bat creature being on the loose and the Batman (voiced by Kevin Conway) is being framed of robberies and physical assaults he didn't commit. He is on the trial of this monster in finding clues, he needs the help of Dr Kirk Langstrom (voiced by Marc Singer) who may have the key in finding this creature.

One of my favorite episodes! this was meant to be the pilot episode of the series and was shown at a comic con back in 92 and had positive responses while the sneak preview episode was "Cat and the Claw" on Saturday morning and this being a second sneak preview episode for Sunday nights to attract older viewers. It worked like a charm and the series went on to become afternoon staples and even for some Sunday nights to get older audiences to watch the show and was a success. This is a nicely written and nicely animated episode with good writing, mystery, horror, Science fiction and a Jekyll and Hyde kind of thing. Man-Bat i knew from the comics when i read them in 89 and knew he would be on the series as Man-Bat is one of Batman's most underrated characters.

The transformation of man to man-bat was just jaw droppingly amazing and well animated and badass. This one had mystery and action and an excellent first starter.
