"what's her power?" "they call her Bombshell" "Oh that's encouraging"

The animation takes some getting used especially if you are/were a fan of the original award-winning series, but the producers get A for Effort in taking this concept to the next level. Besides the scripts and voice actors more than compensate for any oddness in the animation.

Of all the episodes, this is the sweetest and the one with the greatest connection, in my view. Maybe that's because it is less about super-villains and more about saving those who lack the ability to save themselves.

The specific scene where the young heroine contacts Batman through the teddy bear, and says that she has to be "quiet", is very touching and quite memorable.

Emotional and kind of creepy time around.

Warning: Spoilers
Terry starts hearing voices from this little girl whom he also sees when no one else can. It turns out she calls for help, because she is held hostage by foster parents who thinks that because they have special powers they are better than everybody else and should stay away from them.

That plot and the emotional core makes this episode a little different from the rest, because most of the other episodes dealing with emotional subjects are mostly not with a personal connection to Terry as Batman. Of course with exceptions.
