Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Believing himself to be the reincarnation of Zeus, Maxie Zeus steals an experimental weapon that the government developed. The mad man desires to use the weapon against the people of Gotham City and Batman must put a stop to Maxie’s mad plan against the city he loves.
Our Take
Maxie Zeus has always been a pretty silly villain, and this episode doesn’t do much to fix that. The Greek mythology staging is campy in a way that never quite commits to being fun, so it mostly sits there. The one strong moment is the quiet ending with his daughter, which lands harder than the rest of the hour deserves. Skippable unless you’re a completist.
