Trivia
This was the last episode shot in the series.

Goofs
It was shown that hitting a person in the head wakes them up from Ivy's trance, yet Victor Zszaz was punched (and knocked out) by Alfred before being apprehended in GCPD and somehow remained under the spell during the interrogation with Harvey Bullock (and got punched again by Bullock, still not affecting the trance).

Quotes
Selina Kyle: We do *not* have time for this.
Bruce Wayne: I'm sorry.
[Selina vaults over the table and kicks Lucius in the head, snapping him out of Ivy's spell. Bruce hits a switch, stopping the water treatment plant from shutting down]
Bruce Wayne: There.
Lucius Fox: [groans] You kicked me in the head...
Selina Kyle: I didn't have a choice, Lucius.

Perfect filler episode with some great villains and filled with great moments

It's a filler episode, everyone can see that but the huge amount of love the writing team and everyone else did to the amazing makes it a standalone experience, a damn good one at that. Not everyone will see this but it's inspired by the Batman Animated Series episode were Batman is trialed by his famous villains and its one iconic episode. Mutant gang and a lot of other gangs, made for a good but cheesy scene, I liked it though. I believe this is Erin Richards' directing debut and she did a great job

The ensemble cast did great job, even a character returning which I wanted but didn't expect and that's Poison Ivy, with her using one of the mutants made for another great action sequence with Catwoman against him. We also get to see Victor Zsasz and he's always a joy to see. Other performances and scenes I liked was the one with Alfred and Lee. The whole wedding worked perfectly as we have expected it. The episode was filled with great moments, I liked it.
