"Do you know what it means?"
"Don't you?"
At last the Commissioner has come up with the Bat Signal, fairly late in the game. And I love how Batman gently notes the implausibility of such a thing being allowed!
Otherwise, though... well, the twist at the end was clever, but I wasn't all that impressed with this one. We have a villain, Josiah Wormwood, whose thing is to commit crimes via elaborate and unrealistically elaborate death-traps, much like those we saw in the '60s TV series. Neither he nor "Baron" is particularly engaging or interesting. Indeed, the best thing in this episode may be the interaction between the Batman and Commissioner Gordon.
We get a Perils of Pauline style damsel in distress about to be run over by a train who turns out to be a hologram, though: I liked the subversion of this trope. But otherwise, a rather forgettable episode.
And quicksand doesn't actually do that in real life!
