-------BATMAN, The Animated Series.------- - The Strange Secret of Bruce Wayne. -

Feels so much like the old live action BATMAN adventures.

-------NINE STARS OUT OF TEN-------

We have a strange doctor whose name is Doctor Hugo Strange, who happens to be an expert in obtaining very sensible information from his patients as poor Judge Vargas that is haunted by a secret from her childhood. STRANGE gets the secret of Bruce Wayne´s double identity with a special machine that not only gets out of their conscience but gets into video the people´s most carefully hidden secrets.

But Dr. Hugo Strange, once he knows this secret, instead of just blackmailing his patient, in this case Bruce Wayne, he organizes an auction with three of the most dangerous criminals and therefore, BATMAN´s die hard haters and foes to auction for the proof of the identity of the man under the bat costume.

As in good old adventures of Batman, starring Adam West as both Batman and Bruce Wayne and Burt Ward as his best friend and ally Richard Grayson/Robin, they will have to come with a quick and effective solution before the identity of Batman is revealed to the highest bidder, or even worse, what if the three of them decide to cooperate to obtain the secret?

An episode and story that feel so much like the old BATMAN show that you could almost listen to the classic "" na na na na na na na naaa BATMAN!!!!!! "" entry song during the whole adventure....nanananananananaaaa BATMAAN !!!!!!!

Thanks for reading.

More bad guys for your buck

[Mr-Fusion · 8/10 · 4 January 2017]

Dr Strange is one of the less ostentatious villains; and indeed, 'The Strange Secret of Bruce Wayne' is one I'd forgotten about over the years. But it's curious how this takes some rather serious subject matter (Strange's auctioning off of Batman's secret identity) and balances it nicely with the lighthearted tone of the arrival of Penguin, Two-Face and The Joker. I like that Strange was just sort of a conduit to bring in the heavier hitters.

With Bruce's secret at risk and the overall plan to blackmail city officials, it's definitely a grand scheme. Something on the level of a Bond villain. And it's entertaining, too; Batman gets the upper hand ('natch) and the one-liners are solid. Some of the background art is very nice; it's not every day we leave Gotham for the desert.

8/10

This episode is nonsense but I love it.

So far the only episode I felt the need to review, this whole thing is so ridiculously dumb and funny. Well worth the watch, reminded me of the old Adam West Batman movie.

Lots Of Entertainment In This Episode

[ccthemovieman-1 · 10/10 · 26 January 2008]

This was a very entertaining episode, one of the better ones. Not only does someone - "Dr. Hugo Strange" - discover that Bruce Wayne is really Batman, but three famous villains all enter the story: The Joker, Two-Face and The Penguin. Wow, no wonder this was so entertaining.

The story revolves around Dr. Strange and his invention, which is supposed to help stressed- out people. Executives and others go to his spa and the bad doctor extracts their childhood memories from them and then blackmails them over something they did as a kid. It starts with a prominent judge and then happens to Bruce Wayne, resulting in the evil doctor discovering Wayne is also Batman. He, then, offers this information to the highest bidder among those famous villains.

How does Batman stop his identity from being revealed? How does Robin enter the picture here? What happens to all these crooks? Well, you'll have to watch as I won't spoil it. Suffice to say this is a great episode. Ones with the Joker's wise-guy comments usually are top-notch.

Awesome and Funny

[ragnarokstorm-49738 · 10/10 · 19 March 2020]

I've watched this episode several times and it's awesome like the rest of the series. This animated series is my child and adulthood. Yes, there are some bad episodes from what I heard, but this is one of my top ten. I love the addition of Joker, Two-Face and Penguin, and their interactions that made this episode funny. At the same time, this episode is full of action and thrills. Critics can have their views on this episode. I love it!
