Prophecy of Doom

Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Batman investigates a cult, called the Brotherhood, founded by the “mystic” Nostromos after hearing about a number of stories from his colleagues about his ability to predict the future. Batman finds out that Nostromos is actually a con artist who was rigging near fatal accidents to gain the confidence of Gotham’s upper class citizens. Can Batman expose this ruse before it’s too late?

Our Take

A forgettable outing that coasts on a premise we’ve seen a hundred times: a smooth-talking fraud fooling the rich until Batman pokes holes in the act. Nostromos is a dull villain with no real menace, and the episode never builds much tension around his scheme. There’s decent atmosphere in a few scenes, but the mystery resolves exactly as you’d expect. Skippable.
