Batman: Return Of The Caped Crusaders Review - 6 Ups And 4 Downs

2. There's An Absolutely Epic Fight Scene

As Batman's ego-mania runs wild in the third act, he's confronted by Robin and Catwoman, who are forced to request the help of Batman's Rogues Gallery to help bring him and his numerous clones down.

As such, the likes of Mr. Freeze, King Tut, The Mad Hatter, False Face, Bookworm, The Archer, Minstrel, Egghead, Shame, Siren and Louie the Lilac show up looking for a fight, resulting in a short but ludicrously enjoyable brawl.

Catwoman scratches the eyes of a Batman clone, Egghead hurls eggs, Mr. Freeze makes use of his freeze ray, Siren uses her voice to freeze a Batman, Louie the Lilac is distracted by some lilac flowers and punched in the face, Minstrel gets his banjo smashed over his head and so on.

It only comes to an end when someone slips an antidote to Batman which returns him back to his usual, heroic self. What a scene this was, even if it probably could've gone much longer.
