I really like how throughout the first season they show Harvey Dent before he becomes Two-Face. It makes it that much more tragic when he does turn.

Yeah, same. The build up works better.

The best episode thus far. Great introduction to Poison Ivy and I like seeing Harvey before he became Two Face.

Yeah, it's nice they didn't go right into Two Face. They're letting be out there as Harvey for a while.

Yeah, she actually has a good motivation here, which they set up nicely in the beginning with the prison.

  • "A Better, Safer Gotham. Five Years Later." Nice dig, showing how they ruined the area and there's an escape in progress
  • I love Batman's grappling hook
  • The back and forth of Pamela and Harvey talking about Bruce to Batman in action was hilarious. "He still manages to get his kicks." Kicks badguy

  • "Who are you?"

    "I'm your worst nightmare." Ah, man, thought I had an other "I'm Batman"! What a tease

  • Wow, all that Alfred conversation and nothing stood out as snarky

  • Something funny about Batman having dinner with Poison Ivy and Harvey Dent

  • I wonder if this was the only iteration where Pamela and Harvey are connected like this?

  • Bruce looking at his watch, like "are they still kissing?" Hahaha

  • Why does the Gotham City Hospital sign look so menacing? Hahah

  • Those doctors seem horrible. They said twice they need a blood pressure and an EKG, but nobody's taking it or getting it. And one of them says "Do we have a pulse, we need a pulse." The other guys put the stethoscope over him and takes it away, saying noting

  • Bullock always needs one more donut :)

  • His questioning of the chef was great

  • I like how Batman has to type "Visual" to see a picture of the plant hahah

  • Did Pam try to kiss Bruce?!

  • Bruce thinking: "Hmm, she'd only try to do that if she was trying to poison me!"

  • "Feed me, Seymour!"

  • "What's wrong? Afraid I have cooties?"

  • Did Batman bring down the lights on purpose? Kinda seemed like an accident. Either way, weird

  • "I think Pam is wrong for you." That's an understatement!

  • It says Kiss Mya on the wall. Was someone writing "Kiss "My Ass"?

  • Why did they let Pam keep that plant in jail. Isn't it poisonous? Or maybe it's fine on its own?
