Episode Summary & Review
Summary
The leader of the Red Claw group (known herself only as Red Claw) attacks a military train and steals a viral plague, which she intends to release in Gotham if she isn’t paid a ransom. Can Batman and Catwoman put aside their differences and work together to stop Red Claw before it is too late?
Our Take
The second half trades the fun cat-and-mouse flirtation for a fairly standard terrorist plot, and Red Claw herself remains a bland villain despite her cool voice. Still, the Batman and Catwoman dynamic carries things, and the action moves at a decent clip. A serviceable conclusion that’s watchable but never as sharp as the show’s best.
