Night Ride
A ghostly figure on horseback robs poor people and charities. Batman is at a loss. He gets some help from a kindly librarian who helps him identify the family from which the ghost came, the Craddocks. The ghost is Jim Craddock who was executed for treason in the late 18th century.
Batman turns to an expert on ghosts, Linton Midnite, who gives Batman the information he needs to defeat Gentleman Jim Craddock. Alfred helps Batman with the ritual that needs to be conducted. They are successful in dealing with Craddock but he doesn't make it easy for them.
Harvey Dent is also in this episode but doesn't really interact with Batman or Bruce Wayne. He has troubles of his own as his mayoral campaign starts to go downhill. Rupert Thorne offers to help him.
Thoughts
This was okay. It wasn't bad but it didn't rise to the same level as the last three or four episodes. It was mostly Batman and Alfred. I understand it's his show but he's been a bit too one note to satisfy me. The supernatural element also seems a bit out of place in a Batman cartoon or comic book.
