Batman tries to calm him down and Katana goes to her comrade’s aid, but the Psycho Pirate appears and tries to goad her into losing her temper. Black lightening has a reputation as a dark and disturbed character, so Batman fears what dark scenario they might encounter in his nightmare, but to a somewhat humorous effect they discover him becoming greatly enraged at mundane daily nuisances. Katana attacks her brother, but Batman prevents her from delivering a death blow, and the Dark Knight and the Outsider move from this dream to that of Black Lightening. Batman tries to convince her that it’s not her fault, but she refuses to believe him. Batman first enters the dream of Katana, which involves the death of her sensei at the hands of her brother Takeo. Batman realizes that he has no choice but to enter into their dreamscapes, and Psycho Pirate warns that if he dies in the dream, he’ll never wake up. Psycho Pirate warns that if the chambers are opened or the villain is removed from the circuit, their brains will fry. The villain explains that he’s feeding on their emotions and Batman goes to free them. The story proper opens with Batman traversing a maze filled with death traps, arriving at the central chamber to discover Psycho Pirate who has captured the teen team, the Outsiders. However, all is not lost as Batman reveals to the audience that he did manage to score the shapely villains phone number. Eventually Batman does spring them from the trap, but after a brief skirmish Catwoman gets away. As Green Arrow urges Batman to utilize one of his trademark gadgets to help them escape, he grows annoyed at Batman’s flirtatious banter with their feline female captor. We quickly see that the party responsible for their predicament is Catwoman, who has stolen some priceless cat statues from a local museum. In the teaser Batman and Green Arrow are tied to a pole with some vicious jungle cats below them. Will they avoid the typical story telling pitfalls? Read on to find out. In this episode Batman and the Outsiders take a trip to Freddie Kreuger-land courtesy of Psycho Pirate. I suppose that I like Nightmare on Elmstreet as much as the next guy, and I guess the same goes for Inception, but I feel like stories featuring “dream warriors” are a bit formulaic.
