20 Best Batman TV Episodes Ever
3. 'Strange New World' (The Batman)
Remember how we spoke about The Batman's ability to pull some outstanding adventures out of the hat earlier? Yeah, well, Season 4 had its fair share of them and this one might just be its best.
An unexpectedly grim tale, it immediately throws us into a world in which Batman is the last remaining survivor of a zombie apocalypse in Gotham and, as it retraces his, Robin and Batgirl's steps through a series of flashbacks, it cleverly reveals how literally nothing is what it seems. And in doing so, the writers employ plenty of the all-time great zombie movie conventions while putting together an admirably complex plot at the same time.
A tale of survival and instincts, 'Strange New World' forces fans to question everything going on right from the very beginning, and it never stops thrilling right until the very end. Yes, to quote the episode, it does "mess a head".
