Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Seeking to prove once and for all that his is the superior mind, the Riddler lures Batman into a riddle solving contest inside the virtual reality of a computer game in order to save Commissioner Gordon’s life. In the course of solving the riddles and escaping the Riddler’s traps, Batman learns that he is able to manipulate the virtual reality landscape much like the Riddler does.
Our Take
A middling Riddler outing that leans hard on its early CGI, which looks dated now and wasn’t all that impressive then. The virtual reality premise gives Batman a neat trick or two, but the riddles themselves are forgettable and the pacing sags in the middle. Fine if you’re completing the run, but there are much better Riddler hours in this series.
