In a rare episode that takes place outside of Gotham City, Batman must re-capture Killer Croc, who falls in with a group of sideshow performers. The episode opens with a train, presumably leaving Gotham, Croc is in chains and Bruce is on board in disguise, in case anything goes wrong. I would be impressed if anyone spotted him before he reveals his bat symbol under his clothes, a-la Superman. It was great to see a new environment, the greens and browns of the forest and wilderness. Batman has to face Croc in unfamiliar territory, There is no darkness to hide in here.
When I first watched the episode I thought it would have been good to see Croc debate whether he could stay here amongst people that understood him, rather than go back to being a outcast. Much like Harvey Dent, deliberating between right and wrong but now I see that the truth of Croc's character is that there is no good, he is pure evil. Not once did he think about staying with these people that care for him, he is truly lost. So that is the tragedy of his character. 8/10 a nice diversion from Gotham City with some wonderful environments.
