Episode Details

This time, we conclude our discussion of the draft script for the show's second Riddler story, "A Riddle A Day Keeps the Riddler Away", featuring a VERY different, and surprisingly lethal, climactic scene at the Queen of Freedom Monument! We also see an instance of writer Fred DeGorter not quite getting Batman. The Caped Crusader isn't so much warm and friendly to Commissioner Gordon as a take-charge expert on dealing with criminals! Apparently Batman outranks the police commissioner!
