Batman: The Animated Series (TV Series) The Demon's Quest: Part I (1993) User Reviews

Something's very wrong here . . .

Right out of the gate, 'The Demon's Quest' sets itself apart from the rest of the episodes; the lack of title card an unusual move, as well as Robin's abduction lending things an ominous vibe. And in almost no time, Ra's al Ghul has made his sweeping entrance; and with Batman in tow, heads off on the hunt to Calcutta.

Ra's al Ghul is little more than a guy in a cape, but David Warner does an amazing job imbuing him with menace. And it's one thing for Bruce to be foiling some bad guy's plan in Gotham, another thing entirely to go globe-trotting. And al Ghul is no slouch in the comics; you can tell this first half of a two-parter means business.

It's a fantastic episode, full of great animation, a far-reaching mystery and Batman at full badass.

9/10

After Robin is kidnapped. A man named Rhas Al Ghul approaches Batman. Telling him his daughter was also kidnapped. Together they embark on a journey to find them.

WOW!!!!!!! What an episode. Not only does it have great suspense from beginning to end. It has perfect action scenes. Like in Calcutta where they're attacked by th gang. Or in Malaysia when Batman's attacked by the panther. Or in the Himalayas where Rhas Al Ghul fakes his death and where the ninjas attack him in the snow.

Not only does it have a perfect prologue and cliffhanger, the storyline in between is action-packed and full of pure brilliance. And it's good to see an episode with fantasy. It proves not only can Batman be like a superhero with powers. He can be much more amusing, slick and better in every way. This is an episode from heaven. If you don't like it. You don't like Batman.
