A really fun episode.
In this episode, Batman and Robin make a fool of the western outlaw, The Capricorn Kid. After escaping from jail, The Kid seeks revenge on the dynamic duo.
I love how this episode has a completely different feel from the episodes before it. The western setting is a very unique one for this series and helps make this episode stand out. Once again this setting allows for some delightful artwork that is wonderful to look at. This episode also puts a nice sci-fi spin on its western setting as it takes place not only Earth but, on the planet, Texicana and the villain has robot sidekicks. This may be incredible corny, but it is just the kind of super hero corniness I love. I also love how this episode puts the spotlight on two heroes, which helps give it a unique feel. Because these heroes are Batman and Robin, we get some of that wonderfully silly dialogue that reminds me of the 1960's Batman show in all the best ways. The action scenes here are also a lot of fun.
The villain here is not especially memorable nor does he feel like he should be much of a threat to the Super Friends. However it is nice to see them fighting a regular criminal rather than a supervillain or monster as that does give a bit of variety.
Gleek the Space Monkey's "comedy" relief is just as unfunny as ever but it is not too distracting here.
This episode is simply a lot of fun.
