Episode Summary & Review
Summary
“Hat Trick” Felix Faust steals Zatanna’s hat during a mannequin attack on a mall. He plans to use Zatanna’s hat to free a massive demon called Ghast and get his youth back upon performing a summoning ritual at the Hebrides. While Batman and Etrigan the Demon face off against Ghast to keep him from getting to the mainland, Zatanna uses every trick in her arsenal to get her hat back from Felix Faust.
Our Take
A brisk, fun half hour that leans into Zatanna’s showmanship, and the vocal cast clearly has a blast with it. Faust makes for a satisfyingly petty villain, and the Batman/Etrigan team-up gives the back half some real muscle. The mall mannequin fight is a highlight. Worth your time if you enjoy the show’s lighter, sillier energy.
