Batman
the Animated Series Episode 29 Eternal Youth
There are some episodes that are
good, some that are awesome, some are so bad that they are memorable, and then
there are others that are so bad that they are horrifying. Then there are just
some episodes that you sit there for twenty two minutes (or thirty with
commercials) and it doesn’t really leave much of an impression in any way.
This episode of Batman the
Animated Series Eternal Youth is one of them. The plot mentioned above pretty
much is all that you need to know about this episode. Poison Ivy makes her
return. That could have been rather interesting but really there were times
where it really isn’t. The fact is that this is not a bad episode, it is just
one of those episodes that just happen and it really doesn’t leave any kind of
lasting impression either way.
One thing that I would really say
about this episode is that Poison Ivy has a formula that turns people into
trees. Yet she sets up this health spa and this scheme where you’re going to
catch Batman’s notice. Granted to a certain extent, many of these plots would
have been pulled off better, had the villains not gotten too creative and not
given Batman a hint.
Murderous rampage is not a
healthy way of dealing with someone harming the environment. That’s Ivy’s
character but this plot just didn’t seem all that inspired.
You know there have been episodes
out there that I hated as a child but liked better as an adult and then there
are times where I liked as a child but it didn’t hold up too well as an adult,
but this episode is just didn’t hole up. Alfred and his lady friend Maggie were
kind of fun but that was about it.
Because it wasn’t necessarily
bad, I’ll give this episode a nice 3/10
rating. Poison Ivy would have more engaging episodes and moments later on
but this episode was not one of them. You can Batman the Animated Series
