Batman: Caped Crusader - Night of the Hunters

Following the events of the previous episode, Batman (Hamish Linklater) is now public enemy number one with Montoya (Michelle C. Bonilla) being put in charge of a new task force to take down the vigilante. She brings in Harleen Quinzel (Jamie Chung) for her take on Batman as well as stages fake muggings to bring him out of the shadows. When those fail, Flass (Gary Anthony Williams) and Bullock (John DiMaggio) decide on a more dangerous tactic that earns the ire of Gordon (Eric Morgan Stuart) but skewed public perception puts the crooked cops in charge of capturing Batman from this point on.

Throwback Tuesday takes us back more than 50 years to Batman‘s pursuit of Ra’s al Ghul around the world ending at a secret base high in the Himalayan Mountains and the first appearance of the Lazarus Pit.

Batman: Caped Crusader - Kiss of the Catwoman

Of all the episodes of Batman: Caped Crusader, “Kiss of the Catwoman” is the closest it gets to Batman: The Animated Series and at times even Batman: The Brave and The Bold (given out title character’s classic costume and posturing). The episode introduces Selina Kyle (Christina Ricci) as a socialite whose family fortune isn’t what it used to be. Inspired by Batman (Hamish Linklater), Selina creates a costume of her own and commits a series of burglaries around Gotham City both for the needed income and for the thrill.

Batman: Caped Crusader - And Be A Villain

The second episode of Batman: Caped Crusader starts when the actress Bruce Wayne (Hamish Linklater) is dating goes missing after their night out together. Batman’s investigation leads him into a swordfight on the set (in proper Errol Flynn style). The fight’s end leads our detective to uncover the bodies of a producer and co-star of the film who somehow Montoya (Michelle C. Bonilla) talked with after he was already dead (we also get an early scene where Montoya asks Bruce questions as well, seeing her appear multiple times over the course of the investigation).
