"Hey, Sitting Bull..."
Yep. The above is how one of the baddies addresses a Native American gentleman in this episode. Racxism again, although in this case iyt's just depicting the attitudes ofthe time. At least Bruce is polite to said man. Although one does wince at the broken English.
Anyway, after Batman is saved by certain death by... Robin, er, flicking a switch, the plot moves onwards. I like how Colton (still a great character) pretends to lead Daka's hoods to his mine, only to give them the slip. I love how Linda continues to be disgusted by Bruce's laziness, but for some reason still refuses to dump multimillionaire Bruce Wayne. Even better, I love the crap special effects as the "countryside" whooshes by the car windows.
The plot here is genuinely cleer, with a nice set of sets connecting Colton's cabin to his mine by an underground passage. And the mine is about to be blown up with Batman, Robin and Linda still inside...
This episode was acrually quite good. For a movie serial, that's high praise.
