Today’s The Batman was interesting because of the mirror image theme: a rich buddy of Bruce’s and his kid brother were stalking the streets of Gotham to make them safe…for criminals.
Bruce and Dick get to enjoy some time off in their civilian identities, hanging out with that rich buddy and his brother, neither pair aware of the other’s other lives.
Turns out that the mirror image Batman & Robin are the sons of jewel thieves who were killed around the same time as Thomas and Martha Wayne. While Bruce trained for justice, his counterpart trained for protecting criminals. And the mirror Batman gets Gotham’s criminals involved in a big heist with his protection.
I liked the fight scenes, pitting Bruce and Dick against two who are their equal in battle, and then there was the twist of the Bad Duo discovering the Dynamic Duo’s secret identities and invading the Batcave.
Alfred is amusing, as always, hiding out during the battle with dry wit. ;)
When Batman & Robin catch the Bad Duo, they threaten to expose them. Ah, but the Joker has other ideas! He doesn't like these two spoiling his 'fun', so he lobs some Joker venom and the secret is safe...at least for now!
Not a bad episode. The Bad Duo were blonds! Perfect for an entry I plan to make soon. ;)

It was an awesome episode. I remember thinking... Woo! Bruce has a hot Athletic friend who rock climbs and fences with him. And then he was a bad guy and I was like...
Awww =(
I feel bad for Bruce; at least now we know why he doesn't have any friends as he gets older. I can just imagine it. 'Why even bother they're just going to wind up being villains anyways'.
I did love the episode though.
Joker was awesome, ofc. Harley didn't say much but her presence always makes me laugh. Her driving skills=awesomeness. ^_^
Incidentally; did you ever see the Gotham Girls Flash animated show?

P.S. Do you know anything about Marvel Superheroes? And also (did you see the Bruce/Dick story I started writing?)

LOL! Correct, my friend. :) Bruce doesn't have much luck with civilian friends, does he?
I did love the episode though.
It was pretty cool, all right. :)

She'd do well at Indy! ;)
