The two teamed up together against crime boss Roland Daggett as they used their detection skills to recover the Jade Cat statue which was recently stolen from the museum. And in this episode she took center stage as she found a rival and mentor in Catwoman. She’s a perfect character to identify with as a kid when you’re honing your skills and just want to be treated as a valid part of the team by the grown-ups in your life.īatgirl had few appearances in B:TOS, so I savored every appearance I could get. She’s got brains, sass, confidence, and is constantly underestimated. She wants to impress Batman and her father-Commissioner Gordon-but she also wants to excel for herself. But also, Barbara Gordon is all-around amazing. Why is this episode my favorite? First of all, Batgirl is my favorite member of the bat family, probably due to Yvonne Craig imprinting on me at an early age when watching Batman ’66 re-runs on WGN and Nickelodeon. What a week this was! Not only did we get Scully back in The X-Files (as covered in the soon-to-be-released article on “One Breath”), but the next day aired my all-time favorite episode of Batman: The Animated Series.īatman: The Animated Series- “Batgirl Returns” by John Bernardy
This week brings us Batman: The Animated Series’ “Batgirl Returns,” the debut of the Spider-Man cartoon, Friends’ “The One When Nana Died Twice,” King’s Quest VII, and Donkey Kong Country. PopCulture25YL looks back at the music, shows, comics, books and whatever else we want from the month that was November of 1994 to explore why they’re still relevant to us 25 years later.
