Batman is accused of murdering Gotham’s crime lords. Now he must track down the mysterious new villain, who is actually responsible. Batman always seems to work best when his haunting past comes back to torment him through the case he is working on.
Not as effective, but still entertaining, Subzero centers on Robin’s relationship with Batgirl, a.k.a. Ruth Gordon (the Commissioner’s daughter). What the animated series captured so well is the noir flavor of Batman. The gothic buildings mingle with post-war style and modern day technology in the most effective Gotham captured on film.
