"There's enough powder in that helmet to panic a pachyderm!"
After a run of very good episodes, we finally hit one that's... well, certainly ok, but no more. The Scarecrow, in the light of strong introductions toother well-known baddies, is perhaps coming across so farcas a little, well pedestrian?
I mean, he's scaring sportsmen in a scheme to... win bets at an illegal bookie. Hardly the most dastardly evil scheme of all time. It all plays out well enough, and I like the scenes of Robin being courageous despiter his artificial fear, all good character stuff. I also enjoyed the Arkham cameos of Poison Ivy, Two-Face and especially the Joker, who gets a nice little cameo. But overall the episode is simply... good enough.
And what of Robin? Why is he in some episodes but not in most? It is because (he has a roommate, Brian, potentially a recurring character) he's in college? Either way, why not make it clear? Perhaps they will.
Still, I suppose there's nothing wrong with a given episode just being ok: it just speaks to how high the quality has been of late.
