Don't take that as an endorsement of Joe Arpaio, because it's certainly not.  I have nothing but contempt for the man, and his actions amount to throwing a hand grenade at a fly.

Not to the point where I'd throw someone in prison for jaywalking, no.  However, for murderous super criminals who torment the citizens of Gotham on a regular basis, I'd say find a more effective means of dealing with them than putting them in a mental facility whose idea of security is a screen door.

The writers really wore their political perspectives on their sleeves for THIS one.  The only way they could have made Lock-Up any more of a strawman is to have him climb to the roof of the tallest skyscraper and scream, "ME BIG BAD RIGHT WING MAN!  ME TORTURE CRIMINALS BECAUSE THEY DESERVE IT!  MOO HOO HA HA HAAA!"

As mentioned previously, I would have appreciated this episode more if they HAD used a Ditko-type antihero who challenged Batman's "humane" style of crime-fighting.  Great, so you wouldn't kill the Joker and feel all warm and fuzzy inside for bringing him into the criminal sieve you call Arkham unharmed.  I doubt his…

This one was just a bit too corny.  Lock-Up comes off as a strawman of right-wing politics, even growling "It all starts with the liberal, permissive media" before kicking over a television set.  What annoys me most about this episode is that there really isn't much in the way of internal conflict for Batman… he's…

I remember seeing the show, but don't remember anything about it.  Apparently it was so awful, I blotted it out of my mind.

I still remember the first episode, with Chevy emptying a vase into a toilet and the camera making it look like he was urinating.  Cutting-edge comedy there.

I'm not really fond of what they did with her in the Arkham Asylum games, either.

You guys remember that parody of Blossom on Saturday Night Live, which was followed by Joey Lawrence's debut music video?  It was Mike Myers squeaking "whoa!" for three straight minutes. God, I about busted a gut.

More than okay!  Have you ever seen Dave the Barbarian?  That's him screaming like a little girly man.

It makes Disney Channel sitcoms like That's So Raven look brilliant by comparison.
