Loathe as I am to criticise Shakespeare, I'm not sure this play is really all that well-balanced, although I'm not familiar with the text, so I'm not sure how much of it was adaptation.
There's a lot of fire and huge explosions, as well as quite a few nightmarish hallucinations as the citizens of Gotham are exposed to the Scarecrow's Fear Gas. And along the way, Batman even rescues a young Joffrey Baratheon.
In Forever at least we had a cast capable of rising above the limitations of the story, and a coherent enough narrative that made the set-pieces entertaining.
Older and wiser now, I took the plunge and dove into this long-shunned Alex Toth production, and found an excellent, goofy, and surprisingly edgy late ‘60s cartoon.
