Featured review
Hill Horror
The series' very WORST episode. It is not simply bad, BEYOND that--unbearably UNWATCHABLE. "The infamous CHILD episode ," an online series' commentator called it. Blame is on that little fool, freak, in horrid top hat AND moping Mayor HamilDULL Hill who completely KILL it every nauseating nanosecond they're on screen,, appallingly, awfully, written AND performed. Terribly together TOO much, they OVERWHELM the episode undermining even THE JOKER, maudlin, mawkish, their dreadful-dancing last scene SO excruciatingly embarrassing it actually makes one CRINGE. So sad for bright, beautiful, Summer to count for NOTHING to such story sinkers. Wasting her as here brief broadcasting bits was THE mistake of the series, given chance like Night of the Ninja showed what she could DO for an episode but got few such. The OTHER major mistake woefully was Hill, as here, should NEVER been back after THIS, no episode EVER the better for him, the wretchedly WORSE. In comics Hill was HamilDANGEROUS, corrupt, ally of crime lord Rupert Thorne, enemy WITHIN, interesting, even tried TO MURDER Bullock, actually FIRED Gordon fortunately forced to reinstate, but in show indifferent intoning plot paralyzing drear dullard. Ironically the press announcement of series' 1992 debut in TV Guide carried illustration which would NO question would have made BETTER Joker funhouse of fear episode--SUMMER tied up over dunk tank WITH BOILING ACID, Joker about to throw BOMB, not baseball, Batman diving to the rescue, thought it was ACTUAL episode, waited for it--BUT - GOT - THIS.
