At the end of "Beware the Grey Ghost", there is a poster of People Magazine. On the top of the poster there is a box that says "Matt Hagan: Man of a Million Faces". Matt Hagan becomes the villian, Clayface, (appears in Feat of Clay parts 1 and 2) who can change his physical appearence (as well as create objects such as axes or hammers from his hands). The People Magazine is dated October 19, 1992 which was the air date of the episode "Perchance to Dream". Additionally, the shadow of The Grey Ghost is Batman's shadow. See more »

An Episode That Will Really Have You Thinking
10 December 2007 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

Wow, this was a very strange episode, the most unusual one I've seen in the Batman animated series. It is a real thinking person's episode where things aren't what they seem. The villain does not appear until the last few minutes and he's behind all the strange events that Batman experiences throughout this story.

The beginning of this episode features a spectacular car chase scene that is magnificently drawn. Batman, it turns out, is lured into this warehouse, a victim of a trap....and then wakes up in his bed....and is in a world he totally is unable to understand. Is it real, or is it a dream....it's hard to tell.

There is a ton of sci-fi here, an intelligent show that will keep you puzzled, as Batman was here. When we find out what this is all about, near the end, it's pretty neat. Until then, be ready to be confused.
