"Maybe I'll lose my memory and wake up a milliuonaire too."
Surprisingly, this is the third episode in a row without any of Batman's rogue's gallery: indeed, if I'm right, we've only seen the Joker (twice); Poison Ivy, the Scarecrow and Man-Bat, and Harvey Dent is, at this point... one faced.
Yet I'm enjoying these one offs, and this one is no exception- partly, yes, because of the fun of seeing a very nervous Alfred in the Batwing, but also because this is Alfred trying to rescue an amnesiac Bruce. Bruce's uncanny dreams are well done, too.
This one is dark, though: people who won't be missed are kidnapped and put on a chain gang, mining for ore, being put into a sweatbox if they annoy their captors. We never leaern the backstory, but I suppose we don't have to: terrible things can happen at night to the homeless and, indeed, the unwary.
And so we have the satisfying climax as Batman deals with the baddies. But yes indeed... not many of those who endure such horrors will wake up rich the following day.
