Review
Another two-part episode...will Curse of the Kobra live up to the high
standards set by Rebirth, and The Call?
The episode opens up with a few Kobra agents stealing a giant thermal
bomb. Batman shows up, and beats the crap out of the Kobra lackeys.
Their leader whips out an electrical nunchunk and manages to keep Batman
busy enough for them to get away with the bomb. Back at the cave, Terry
comments on how stupid he was to let them get away, and Bruce suggests
that he visit an old friend, Kairi Kanaga.
Terry soon learns that Kairi, was one of Bruce's old fighting mentors
and begins to take martial arts lessons from her. Terry meets Kairi's
best student, Xander who always seems to have a host of bodyguards
surrounding him. After one of their training sessions, Terry convinces
Xander to ditch his bodyguards and go out for some pizza. They meet up
with Max who bests Xander at one of the arcades. Some Jokerz cause some
trouble, and naturally Terry and Xander handle them with little trouble.
Xander's bodyguards show up and are very displeased that Xander went off
without them. Terry learns the next day that Xander has stopped taking
lessons form Kairi.
Meanwhile, Kobra steals a vial of dinosaur DNA and uses it to mutate
their soldiers. Surprise, surprise we learn that Xander is actually the
leader of Kobra, and is masterminding their plan to take over the world.
However, before Kobra goes through with its plan, Xander needs a queen.
He picks the only woman who has ever beaten him, Max.
Hence the damsel in distress sequence begins, and Batman has to chase
down Xander who's flying away with Max. Big nunchuck guy shows up and
manages to rip off both of Batman's wings. Batman takes a nosedive
through a few concrete walls, and the screen fades out...
