Episode Summary & Review
Summary
After the events in “SubZero” Mr. Freeze has been forced to be bound to a new robotic body. His wife Nora has been revived, but believing him dead, she has remarried and left Gotham. If Freeze can’t have a life of happiness, nobody can, so he begins lashing out at the city by destroying what people care about so they can feel the same pain he feels.
Our Take
A bleak one, even by Freeze standards, and the new robotic body makes him genuinely unsettling to look at. The misery-loves-company plot is thin, but Michael Ansara’s flat, dead delivery sells every line, and the final reveal lands with real weight. It drags a bit in the middle stretch of destruction scenes, though. Worth it for fans of the character, casual viewers can skip.
