Batman: Caped Crusader 2.02

Rocket's Red Glare

Batman investigates a break-in at Triad Industries which leads him to discover that Triad's top scientist, Dr. Roxanne Sutton isn't dead. Gunther Hardwick, Armand Lydecker, and Warren Lawford (the three men who run Triad) thought they had dealt with her. Batman doesn't understand why Sutton is sabotaging Triad's attempts to capitalize on her inventions and tries to stop her. It is almost too late when he finally changes sides and chooses to help her.

Thoughts

There is a brief moment at the very end of the episode involving someone stealing from Hugo Strange. It looks like Strange is dead. The thief is whistling In the Hall of the Mountain King.

Such a good episode. I love the tone of it. The music was perfect. It's pretty clear from the way that the episode evolves that Batman is in the wrong, until he changes sides and decides to help Dr. Sutton. It is both frustrating and helps to build the tension.

Notes

Dr. Sutton was voiced by Wunmi Mosaku. She was also in Sinner (2025) and Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. 

Warren Lawford was voiced by Bruce Thomas. He was the voice of General Zod and Darkseid in Justice League: Gods and Monsters (2015).
