Batman is mad toward Batwoman in this episode
disneylandw15 May 2011
DC's new team up show "Batman:Brave and the Bold" has so far been really good and succeed really well with having Batman teaming up with such heroines as Catwoman(more of a great anti-heroine) Zatanna,Fire and Ice,Mera,Black Canery,Vixen,Mary Marvel,Elasti Girl(in a really sad episode)Huntress,Wonder Womanand of course Batgirl but when come time to do Kathy Kane/Batwoman they take a different idea for her in this episode,it starts with the Riddler robbing a lot of rich people of Gothem at a party before of course Batman shows up along with a young Robin,when Kathy(who the writers for some reason had completely changed her name in this episode)appears from there and ruins everything for Batman,including having the Riddler unmask her in front of the public

15 years later she comes up with the most bizarre revenge scheme possible against Edward Nigama by luring Batman to her mansion,she then works a spell(given by Felix Faust) to have her exchange bodies with Bruce,who then ties up and goes off to the Batcave to find Batgirl and Nightwing and talk them into finding Riddler for her meanwhile Bruce untied him(her)self and is forced to find Faust for helping undo the spell by finding Batman first

Kathy in Bruce's body gets herself captured and hungover a vat of acid and Bruce in Kathy's body fights alongside Batgirl and Nightwing against the henchmen and the Riddler(getting knocked by Barbara)as the spell is undone by Felix

In the end The Riddler and Felix Faust are as usual arrested by the Gothem police but in twist so is Kathy Kane with Batman telling her revenge is not the answer and now she has to pay her debut to society and he be waiting for her whenever she gets out and she said she'll do just fine(maybe she can hire Kate Spenser)

Overall i think i would never seen the likes of this episode again given the fact that they treated Batwoman in such a bad light as basically coming off as some sort of a villain,i know in the older comic books of Batman she just comes off as reckless As for Batman(this only time in this series were i think he comes off as just really not nice toward a female superhero) and the city of Gothem in this one episode,well once she unmasked the city justice makes her swear that she never puts on a bat-suit ever again but once she does(as Bruce is forced to act)then she becomes just as criminal as Riddler for some never explained reason(its a wonder that Barbara Gorden can have her bat-suit at all given the fact that Batman isn't chewing her out like he does Kathy)

These expecting the appearance of Betty Kane/Flamebird will be disappointed because she never shows up in this,now hopefully Batwoman could be written to come back in some future episode of "Brave and The Bold" also the voice of Kathy(Venessa Marshell)is pretty much the only thing i like about this episode given the fact that she also did Wonder Woman on "Justice League:Crisis on Two Earths", Mary Jane in the latest Spiderman cartoon and Black Widow on the Avengers
