Batman: The Sign of the Sphinx

 "It's Batman!"

More of the same here, really, from cliffhanger to cliffhanger, beginning and ending with the perilous aftermath of a fistfight.

The cliffhanger resolution is a bit of a cheat- Batman, Robin and Linda just happen to survive the explosion, but the plot actually progresses a bit. The radium mine is ruined, Colton is dead (aww, I liked him, he was fun) and... Bruce gets Linda to think he and Dick were asleep throughout it all. He seems to go out of hisway to convince his girlfriend that he's utterly lazy and cowardly, safe in the knowldge that she won't dump multimillionaire Bruce Wayne for some reason.

So we move to a new subplot, with Bruce dressing up as a hood to try and find Daka's actual hideout. I suspect this mini-arc will basically be over by next episode, but it's mildly entertaining. And, Daka's presence aside, there's no visible added racism here, which is a bonus. Although once again I'm a,mused with how rubbish the Batcave set is.

To be fair,though, this is episode nine, and I'm not actually bored...
