Episode Summary & Review
Summary
En route to an upstate prison, Killer Croc escapes and leads Batman on a dangerous chase through the wilderness. After throwing Batman temporarily off his trail, the reptile man takes refuge with a group of retired circus freaks, and convinces them to help him. When Batman arrives, Croc and the freaks band together to capture him.
Our Take
A middling episode with a decent setup that never quite pays off. The retired circus performers are sympathetic and Croc’s manipulation of them gives the hour some emotional weight, but the wilderness chase drags and the ending feels rushed. Worth a watch for the character moments, though it’s far from the show’s best.
