Batman Beyond 3.13

Unmasked

Terry tells Max about the time he showed a little kid what he really looks like under the mask. Miguel Diaz, the kid, was in a burning building. Batman tried to rescue him but Miguel was scared of him and kept backing away from Batman. Terry removed his mask to prove that he was a regular person and not some sort of monster. The kid relaxed and let Batman save him.

Kobra gets wind of the fact that Miguel saw what Batman really looks like and kidnaps him. They use a device on Miguel that transforms his thoughts into images. Batman manages to track down Kobra's hideout but it is too late because they have already transmitted the image that appeared on the screen to all other Kobra locations.

In the end it turns out that the joke is on Kobra because the face in the image is that of one of Miguel's action figures.

Thoughts

Kobra returns for one final episode, but without Zander, who is probably dead. This episode presumably takes place before 3.10 (Curse of the Kobra).

At least two Kobra operatives appear to be killed by snakes. One is thrown in the pit full of snakes against his will. The other willingly jumps. There are no screams of pain in either case.

This is a decent episode. It isn't great but it doesn't have any noteworthy shortcomings.
