I hope Vicky meets the group and tells them how much she hates all of them, and she is more annoyed that none of them know who she is because they have no memories of being in the bad place.

Yeah, this is the third (?) episode where they’ve listed a guest-star in the closing credits before they appeared onscreen, and therefore ruined the surprise of them appearing. “Real Eleanor” was listed in the end-credits in the episode where Vicky first appeared on the train at the very end, and Adam Scott was listed…

Moon of the Wolf suffers from coming immediately after Tyger, Tyger. Romulus’ werewolf looks too much like Tygrus - so much that for a moment I thought that maybe Tygrus had returned when we first see the werewolf.

The show realized that both stories did not have enough meat on the bone to make a single episode for each, and wisely combined them into one episode.

The Michael Ellis episode did the “sudden cut to black” ending decades before The Sopranos thought of it.

The episode never confirms this, but when Joker is escaping Arkham, one of the guards (Irving, according to the DC wiki) sees him escaping and does nothing but watch and smile. I assume he was paid off by Kaiser to help Joker escape (or make sure he wasn’t stopped), because if Joker doesn’t escape, Kaiser’s plan…

No mention of Marc Singer’s brief return as Kirk Langstrom to tell Batman about Dorian?  This felt like a really deep cut since he hadn’t appeared since the first episode (depending on what order you’re watching these).  I can see from the Netflix queue that he is the focus of an upcoming episode, so I assume they…

Was this the first episode where the previous episode’s cliffhanger (Tahani realized she was still engaged to Larry) was not immediately continued in the following episode? It was literally explained in an aside conversation that Tahani and Larry had broken up - it felt like something happening “off panel” when…

“Tahani name drops: Yoga student Sting (no last initial), and Elon Musk, who shot his car into space after Tahani urged him to ‘reach for the stars.’ After a pause: ‘What a weird creep. Why was I friends with him?’”

A nice touch was Robin, not Batman, figuring out the riddle about the three keys.

“The worst part of ‘The Strange Secret Of Bruce Wayne’ is the horrible cop-out ending, when Dr. Strange reveals Batman’s identity as Bruce Wayne, only to have no one believe him. So the entire point of the episode is moot, because the rogues find out it’s Bruce and just don’t give a shit. What was the point of it all?…

Am I crazy or is this the first Two Face appearance since his origin two-part episodes? That seems wild, considering how quickly the show turned Harvey into Two Face - they had Harvey appear a couple of times, and instead of giving him more appearances to establish his friendship with Bruce, they did the Two Face…

Yeah, Bruce choosing to hook himself up to Strange’s relaxation machine is baffling, since he knows that Vargas did the same thing and was being blackmailed. He had to know that this machine was how Strange got the blackmail material against Vargas, especially after Strange literally describes to Bruce what it does.

I loved how the outro set me up for what I thought the next plot was going to be - Michael rebooting the Earth so they could redo the study group’s season 3 time. The closing credits had already ended and I thought “Huh, this scene is still going, usually they time it so the scene ends when the credits end.”

I loved how halfway through her analogy Simone realized that Eleanor wasn’t getting it, so she pivoted to a Steve Austin analogy which she knew Eleanor would understand.

I found it weird that Alfred being tazed seems to give him amnesia. He doesn’t remember coming down the stairs to talk to Randa and her tazing him. He tells Bruce that he doesn’t remember anything after Bruce left. Was tazing so new in the 90s that people thought it caused partial amnesia?

Part 1 ends with such a great cliffhanger - HARDAC (and his robots) learn that Bruce Wayne is Batman, and it takes over the Batcomputer!

I was surprised that Barbara didn’t become Batgirl in these episodes. I was sure that when she finally appeared in this show she instantly became Batgirl (like how most Spider-Man cartoons have Spidey encounter the symbiote and Venom appears almost immediately in season 1), so I was pleasantly surprised to rewatch…

DON’T DATE ROBOTS!

The comparison to One More Day is not apt here. Crippling Barbara in The Killing Joke is the more apt comparison to OMD, even though it’s still a weak comparison. It let Moore paralyze an established character for shock value because DC no longer used her and didn’t know what to do with her. Also, TKJ was supposed to…
