These milestone episode numbers are getting surreal. 250 episodes. Yikes. For this anniversary, we’re looking at stories where Bruce Wayne was suspected of murder. Now, if this was the real world, a lazy billionaire would be prime suspect #1 and I wouldn’t be surprised. But we are looking at a fictional world that actually has good billionaires, so guess what? Bruce Wayne is innocent of each of these crimes. There’s an issue of the animated series tie-in that riffs on Hitchcock, the wrap up of a running subplot that seems to just sort of quickly end and the first of two linked Bat family crossovers. Also, we have a surprise guest at the beginning of the episode who humbly blessed our show with his appearance.
