Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaNoted director Boyd Kirkland: "I like shows that get into human dilemmas where you see into characters' minds. This is one of my favorite shows. Another reason I like this so much, is that Batman is not driving around playing catch-up. He knows what's going on and is behind-the-scenes manipulating the situation to serve his ends. To me, this is the epitome of how Batman should be portrayed."
- GoofsGordon's title is misspelled "Commisioner" in the opening news report.
- Quotes
Arnold Stromwell: I don't need your help!
Father Michael Stromwell: Oh, is that a fact? An empire crumbling? A marriage shattered? A son lost? Sure, you're doing fine.

Featured review
No Supervillain
I'm pleasantly surprised at how good this episode is, despite the absence of any typical Batman supervillain.
It's nice to get a look at what Batman gets up to in Gotham City during the quieter times, when only the mobsters and gangs are working. This time he gets to play the role of family counsellor to a Gotham crime boss, Bringing together his priest brother and addict son.
This is a tale of siblings taking two different paths in life, and one helping the other to find redemption. I like that the mob boss isn't immediately won over by Batman's attempts to reform him. It takes time and he is initially adversarial and in denial.
The artistic details were really nice, with the oncoming train flashbacks for example.
It's a nice little Batman story that fits neatly into a single episode & shows us a side of Gotham that sometimes gets overlooked, that is your regular run of the mill criminal types.
