Episode Summary & Review
Summary
The Penguin steals an experimental helicopter from an air show, causing an explosion that temporarily blinds Bruce Wayne. Batman knows he won’t be able to wait until his vision returns to track the Penguin down, but will he be able to do so without the use of his eyes?
Our Take
A solid mid-tier episode built on a fun premise: Batman fighting blind while the Penguin struts around in a stolen attack chopper. The sensory-deprived action scenes are clever, though the pacing sags in the middle and the resolution comes a bit too easily. Worth a watch for the hook alone, even if it doesn’t fully cash in on it.
