Episode Summary & Review
Summary
A mystic Egyptian scroll donated to the Gotham museum by Bruce Wayne is stolen by Ra’s al Ghul, and Batman and Talia must join forces to prevent the power mad Ra’s from unlocking the scroll’s secrets of life and death. Their quest takes them to a hidden temple deep beneath the Egyptian desert. There, the Dark Knight is forced into a terrifying battle with an ancient Egyptian sorceress.
Our Take
A decent adventure outing that never quite catches fire. Ra’s al Ghul episodes usually feel bigger than the show’s other villain stories, but this one leans on dusty temple tropes and a sorceress who looks scarier than she actually is. The Batman and Talia pairing still works, though, and it moves fast enough. Fine for a weeknight, nothing more.
