I take a lot of issue with this sequel to Batman the animated series. It features more than a few bad episodes and lacks any outstanding ones. But this one is fairly decent as far as they go. I'm really only writing this in response to the idiot who gave it a 2. Here are some of your complaints - that it isn't grounded in reality like other episodes. Batman has always treaded the line between reality and sci-fi. We have mob bosses and we have super-powered characters like any other comic book incarnation. So what other grounded in reality episodes are you referring to? The one where Poison Ivy creates plant children? Where Catwoman is turned into a tiger hybrid? Man-Bat becoming a werebat? A half crocodile man? Zatanna and her magic? The Mad Hatter using circus animals to committ crimes? Ra's al Ghul's immortality? At least half of Batman's rogues gallery are far outside the basis of any possible reality. So you have a problem with the established relationship between Batman and Blood? Like they haven't done that with a million other characters? It's established that Bruce Wayne knows people and has many secrets? What's so far fetched about him and Blood having a past? You don't like the way Klation is portrayed? Ok, why? He's no more annoying than the Joker who essentially is just a big man child. Sure, Klarion has no real motive but that's kind of the purpose - he's a child who just wants to get his way. An evil child. Familiarize yourself with the comics and then come back. Etrigan is an established character of Gotham. I fail to see how the episode is forced. It establishes things quickly but it's easy to follow. How is it boring? It has more action and going-ons than other episodes. It certainly a great episode but it's decent as far as standalone episodes go. Certainly not a damn two.
