REVIEW:
What's a great Batman episode with Superman appearing? Well then again, not Superman but the guy who played him in the successful Superman Returns film. For this new episode, we get a new villian called The Everywhere Man and as a surprise for us, he's voiced by Brandon Routh, our new Superman. So let's see how this episode was like with our hero confronting another hero......as a villian.
The story was a mystery. Batman shows his human side as since he is best friends with John (played by Routh) and he doesn't want him to be the villian and wants to prove his innocence (kinda makes you think of Ethan/Clayface). Robin plays a little more as his own man...or kid, as he goes out on his own and plays detective for a short while and fights alot of Everywhere Men.
When we are first introduced to Everywhere Man, to confronts John. Which questions us as Everywhere Man is played by Routh yet he's John and Everywhere Man's voice is deeper. After a quick fight, he shows his power to vanish. His multiple powers (you gotta think Multiple Man from X-Men) causes a tough fight with Batman & Robin. Its then revealed that John is Everywhere Man and he has made alot of duplicates. However, one is darker than the other and they do fight each other if they don't agree on whatever it is. Then later on, we get the twist of all of them. Which I won't reveal because that surprised me.
The character of Clea is voiced by another Superman connection: Allison Mack, Chloe from Smallville. What do we know abotu her? Well she is a friend of John and Bruce and works at the museum. That's it. This was the bad thing from this episode as we got nothign more from this character as she was just a small role. Something that is sure to anger fans of Allison Mack. Basically, the character of Clea was there.
Overall, this episode was good. At first I thought there was nothing to shock about and I got somewhat tired at times. Watching it the second time, that's when you see that this episode deserves more than my original 5 outta 10 stars. The Everywhere Man was interesting and believable to the point where it made alot of sense for both Batman & Robin to be needed to take him down. While it was good to see Brandon Routh is a voice acting role, and appearing with another DC superhero, I still feel that while he did great for this villian, it would've been better if he appeared as Superman so we could've had a world's finest episode already.
RATING: 7/10

Good episode! Very interesting villian. The storyline completely fooled me as to who the TRUE villian was. We will probably be seeing him again too...the temptation is too great for him to keep working on the idea of replicating himself.
Robin is totally badass in this series...I like him a lot. Bravo!
Fight Like A ROBOT!!!

i thought the Episode was great, i really enjoyed seeing a new Villian added to The Show, he was a tough guy to beat, and i really enjoyed seeing Brandon Routh, on the Show, he did a great Job, and it was also good to hear Allison Mack on Batman too, all through the Episode i was wondering how Batman was going to beat EverywhereMan, Next weeks Episode sounds great, can,t wait to see BlackMask on The Show , this is the best Season yet, this is going to be a great Season. |

I need to make a statement: since many liked the episode for reasons that is making me wanna see it again, I'm going to revise my review for TB 104. I want to do that because its better to be corrected on things from the storyline and the epsiode in general rather than to leave it as it is.
Expect my revision sometime tomorrow.
