Why did the Super Friends have to end so soon? Ok let's be real, the show was on for a VERY long time, but it hadn't quite achieved the look, style and feel of the Justice League comics, which was its source material; until this season. Especially with this episode. This episode introduced us to Batman's origin for the first time. The tragic story that nobody thought could've been told on a Saturday morning cartoon back in those days. But it's shockingly well executed-the gun violence isn't shown, but it is implied, leaving one to only imagine just exactly what Bruce witnesses exactly. We do know his parents were murdered. We know that two thunder strikes muffled two gunshots. They both were killed.
And then we finally see Adam West play a version of Batman that could actually strike terror into the hearts of bad guys. Sure it was only a voice over role. But this is the best episode to come from the sixties Batman or the Superfriends.
