If EVER there was an episode of THIS series that should have been in THE series it was THIS. This would have just perfect FOR SUMMER GLEESON. It was the ONLY appearance of a WOMAN reporter--series set a decade before THE series Batman just starting out in his 20's, females not yet much evident yet in broadcasting with the unbilled rat faced reporter and aged anchor dully doing it--doing Day in the Life of Bachelor Bruce ending in a wild brawl wrecking Wayne Manor. Would LOVE to heard the Penguin CREEPING out Summer, rubbing flippers, "Ah, my be-u-ti-ful FLA - MING - O!" Except Catwoman the animation of series made women agonizingly anorexic as here, painfully pale, ghastly gaunt, toothpick legs excruciatingly emphasized in TOO short skirt though actress decently delivered lines. Alfred and the Penguin were actually BETTER here, there Alfred great for drool Comment in the Cave couldn't carry himself outside it too wispy, Paul Williams so soft spoken could get drowned out by music, action, here Action Alfred CAN, Penguin has squawk life A BUZZSAW the two together GREAT from ancestral antagonisms between the Cobblepots and the Pennyworths.
