Fun episode for No. 120, guys. I had never heard of this before.
As Tim's title points out, I guess it was wrong to expect a great Batman story when it is Supes' candy store. Frankly, the plot as you described it bores me. Too much of, as you said, Robin being super-annoying, first of all. I could picture Newmar's Catwoman--'I know, we'll kill him.'
It seemed more as if the Marshall Plan was the hero. 'Marshall Plan, Marshall Plan, Marshall Plan, na na na na na na na na na na na MARSHALL PLAN!' (To be fair, that borrows liberally from your 'na na na na na na lawsuit' and 'na na na na na na na bad check.')
Speaking of which, I also must admit I'm surprised you didn't mention the scene about Batman's bank account. Does he sign his checks as 'Batman?' Can one cash those legally?
The scene in which Batman fools the goon by requesting a smoke was odd, even though it was a ruse. 'See, Robin,' he could've said after dispatching the goon, 'smoking IS hazardous to one's health.' 'Gosh, Batman'
The guy in the scene in which Supes is desperately trying to get information sounded like either William Fawcett or former SNL star Dana Carvey as 'Grumpy Old Man.'
I wasn't surprised by Tim's outro song, but thought 'Mr. Jones' by the Counting Crows might have had a puncher's chance.
