Batman
the Brave and The Bold Season 3 Episode 11 Crisis 22, 300 Miles Above Earth
First we have the teaser, with
the Joker leading a roast on Batman. As in both a comedy roast and also the
villains roasting Batman over a spit. Joker also kidnapped comedian Jeffery
Ross to help with the roast, at gunpoint. Batman being Batman manages to break
free and defeat the villains with Ross getting the final punch(line) on the
Joker. Wackiness to say the very least.
“Can’t talk now. Escaping skiing
ninjas with lasers.”
There is one of the lines I’ve
never thought I’d heard but as it turns Batman is on the run from ninjas in the
mountains. Skiing ninjas as it turns out, with lasers, as it turns out. Ninjas
working for Ra’s al Ghul as it turns out. And Batman gets taken out by Ubu
rather handily.
Meanwhile on the watch tower,
there is a party that Justice League International are holding for the Justice
Society of America, those glorious heroes of yesteryear. Who are really not all
that impressed by Justice League International. Given that their rather wacky
nature is not something that is going to rather be impressed it. Then there are
many clashes between different generations. The poor Martian Manhunter, driven
straight to the cookies.
Meanwhile, Ra’s al Ghul is going
to feed Batman to some giant squid monster. However, Batman gets saved by Ra’s
al Ghul’s daughter, Talia, who sadly does not get a speaking role in this
episode. However, she does get to kiss Batman. Chicks dig the Bat, what can I
say.
There was an impressive brawl in
the Watch Tower, as tensions are high. With pies being brought into the mix.
You’d think that this was a Three Stooges short with this action. Martian
Manhunter going intangible to avoid the pie and it going right at him, it was
great.
Batman gets taken down again by
Ubu and strapped to the rocket, which is going to the sun. Ra’s also rather
reacts badly about his daughter helping out the detective, deciding to send her
in the sun as well. Father of the year material, that Ra’s al Ghul for sure.
Thankfully, the Justice Society
and the Justice League International makes the save, leading a huge brawl
between then and the laser wielding skiing ninjas(how many times do you have a
chance to say something like that).
A pretty fun fight between Batman
and Ra’s, although not the best that these two men have had. And then all of
the heroes celebrate the victory with some pie in the watchtower.
It is with a heavy heart this
show is ending. I’ll give this episode a 7.5/10.
Not really perfect but still rather solid.
