⚠ Spoiler alert This recap gives away what happens in this episode.
Episode Summary & Review
Summary
The Riddler is hired to work for a toy company, vowing to turn over a new leaf. But Batman refuses to believe he has changed, and he suspects that the Riddler is still obsessed with outsmarting and defeating him. Now, the Dark Knight must prove that Riddler is still a criminal at heart and send him back to Arkham.
Our Take
The Riddler’s “reformed genius” angle had real promise, but the episode never commits to the ambiguity. Batman comes off more paranoid than perceptive, and the puzzle traps feel like reruns of better ideas. John Glover clearly has fun voicing Edward Nygma, which keeps things watchable. A middling outing that fans can skip without missing much.
