Didn't like it. The idea of a separate mechanic seemed to contrived. Batman was an idiot to forget his car had brakes until the last second (which resulted in his car getting damaged). The Penguin waited like four seconds, apparently forgetting he was going to shoot the girl.

You need to have guts and creativity and be allowed to take risks. Even then there were people saying this show is too scary and adult for the kiddos, don't make it. There was a lot of censorship and active witch-hunting. In those days, for instance, Tipper Gore went after the likes of Eminem because of his music in a typical "Won't somebody think of the children?!" fashion. But the higher-ups at Warner Brothers ignored it and we are left with this gem of a show that can be discussed 30 years down the line. When my nephew turned on the current 2020 version of Cartoon Network, I wept because it was so terrible.

I remember that at the same time this episode aired, the Batmobile also had a mechanic in the comics: a deaf-mute hunchback named Harold, who coincidentally(?) had also been forced to work for the Penguin, although, unlike here, he was a blond white man. Aside from Alfred, Harold was the only person employed at Wayne Manor that I can recall. One thing that has always bothered me about BATMAN RETURNS is how exactly the Penguin was able to sabotage the Batmobile. An earlier draft of the script had offered an explanation (not a good explanation, but an explanation nonetheless) as to where the Red Triangle Gang had obtained the blueprints, but I prefer movie adaptation novelist Craig Shaw Gardner's theory that an ex-employee at Wayne Enterprises stole the blueprints before approaching the gang. Even then, the idea that any of those carnies would be able to hotwire a futuristic machine that only one man in the entire world knew how to operate is pretty far-fetched to me. You could argue that the Penguin himself, with his brilliant intellect, was able to figure out the details for them, but...COME ON! Danny DeVito's Penguin was a mutated homeless man who had never been to school and had spent his whole life kidnapping children and possibly doing other disgusting things. Yet one more regret I have about the Burton sequel: great to look at, but lousy script.

Gosh... this show was the highlight of my childhood. Being born in 92 meant I had great 80s reruns and fantastic 90s shows to watch. From Tmnt, thundercats, masters of the universe and transformers to batman, superman, power rangers, Dexter's lab, cow and chicken (love the red devil guy), freakizoid, xmen (the good series. Not the one where they had wolverine with an aussie accent), grim and evil, digimon, pokemon, donkey kong country (weird cgi show I still loved), the sonic the hedgehog show where they had instruments and sonic had a green brother and pink sister, batman beyond, and so on. Shout out to the roughnecks: starship troopers chronicles (a surprisingly good starship troopers CGI show. Had many elements from the movie, like the love triangle and dizzy being female... but also had bits of the novel, like the campaign on other planets and most importantly, the Skinnies, an alien race from the novels) When I finished transformers, I got to watch the wonderful continuation that was "beast wars" and it's interesting but less good sequel series, beast machines.) Love it. To this day, I still love it all. Great anime back then, like trigun, cowboy bebop, db and dbz, outlaw star, yu yu hakasho, etc. Just a bunch of great shows with actual depth, story arcs, and sometimes permanent death of good characters (like in roughnecks.) Not like many shows today, which often dont have ongoing story arcs. There ARE good shows today. Not saying there isnt. Only saying that i had access to a plethora of iconic shows as I watched during the end of the 90s and the early millennium.

This might be my favorite episode in the Batman animated series mainly because it’s nostalgia for me when I first found out about this show I was instantly obsess with it when I was little and I didn’t watch it regularly for some reason but whenever I saw an episode of it on a random network I was excited and this was like the only full episode I watched from the series and like I said when I first found out about this I was really interested and wanted more and since this was the only full episode I watched back then that’s what makes it my favorite

what I think the ebst part of this version of the batmobile is how it's the most subtle of them, as far as I am aware. it doesn't even look directly bat themed asie from the wings at the very back (hell it even lacks a bat symbol!), and the long limousine-ish look makes it look really fast, sleek and cool. A very "less is more" design.

Another one I don't remember seeing. The show's been around long enough that I probably did, but I must've kept missing this one in reruns.

Fascinating how just a few small ideas can have impact on future installment's of the series.

I think it would be great for (The Mechanic) character to make a brief appearance in (THE BATMAN) movie. If the character of (The Mechanic) might have a chance at appearing in (THE BATMAN) movie; Than I wonder who might get picked to play the character role in it?

Penguin moves like a viper in this. Not sure if it's the animation, or the intent.

On the DCAU wiki, it says that Penguin's animation was inconsistent through the entire episode.

Where is this taking me? On a sea cruise. That dark line stood out for me. That guy would be very lucky if he survived that big flush. I didn't say unscathed.
