Quotes
BRUCE: Nostromos. Yes, I've read about him in the Star
Enquirer. Uh. . . Alfred likes to pick up a copy now and then.
--
LUCAS HITS A MINI GONG WHICH RINGS OUT.
NOSTROMOS: Peace to all brothers and sisters. The negative plain is
aligned is aligned with the positive bringing forth astral harmony.
BRUCE: What?
MAN: The vibrations are right for phophecy.
BRUCE: Ohhhh. . . Ok.
--
ALFRED: But how did the glass break, sir?
BATMAN: (mimicking a prophet) 'Psychic vibrations', Alfred. (Returns to
normal voice) Though I bet on a high frequency sonic device.
--
ALFRED: You gave him ten million dollars, sir!? And to think I was
fretting over the electric bill.
--
NOSTROMOS: I predict-- (turns to normal voice) you and I are about to
become rich as pigs!
--
BRUCE: As the Bard once said "The fault lies not in the stars, but in
ourselves."
Review: This episode could have
been much better, but-- well, it wasn't. It was an interesting idea to
pit Batman against a religious cult, and the idea started out well but
it ended quite pathetically.
The animation was poor, with the characters losing their consistency,
especially Batman when he was checking over his gear in the Batcave. The
only well done part was the shadow fight between Batman and Lucas above
the models of the planets. It had very nice outlining and shadow work.
