Episodes 45 & 46
The Clock Kings Crazy Crimes/The Clock King Gets Crowned
Plot:Clock King uses an antique clock to loot a jewelry store
Guest Stars:Walter Slezak as Clock King
Trivia:Batman co-creator Bill Finger had a hand in writing this one
Niitpick:Everytime a villain wants to strike a millionaire it’s ALWAYS Bruce Wayne. Is he the only wealthy person in Gotham? By the way Bruce needs better security this is the second time this season a villain is able to waltz in to Wayne Manor and steal something.
Bat Silliness:Batman and Robin stop at a diner chasing a lead. The lead fails but the two still stop to eat a couple “Bat Burgers”. Never thought I’d see Batman eating fast food in the Batmobile.
Window Cameo:Sammy Davis, Jr
Bat Gadget:Alfred has a personal burglar alarm to aler Batman to trouble.
Bat Trap:Batman and Robin in a giant hourglass (oh you knew that one would come eventually)
Final Thoughts:You know, with the Mad Hatter it’s possible to do things with the hat gimmick. What in the world can you do with clocks? There really isn’t much to say about this, ok the villain is performed well but he offers nothing of interest. Clock King decides to steal a clock from Bruce Wayne, for reasons. Aunt Harriett gets a little more to do. Though the Wayne story comes out of nowhere and makes part 1 feel like a different story than part 2. What it really is, is padding to extend the episode. The scheme is so weak one of the henchman has to mess it up to add a little suspense.
Grade:C-.,Clock King’s gimmick is so boring that it makes the episode just that, boring. Not gonna lie, I forget it already, that’s how strong an episode it is. Well except that burger scene, that was just bizarre. At least yesterday’s kept my attention as silly as it was.
An eggciting story comes tomorrow, same bat time same bat channel
