History Recap / BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE17SeeNoEvil

* DisappearedDad: Justified with Lloyd, due to being a convicted felon. His crimes and arrest got him slapped with a restraining order from his ex-wife, who wanted him away from their daughter. Also, he's ''literally'' a disappeared dad.

* PreAssKickingOneLiner: Batman figures out how to reveal Lloyd's position by throwing batarangs at a water tower, disabling Lloyd's invisibility suit.

An ex-con, Lloyd Ventrix (Creator/MichaelGross), gets his hands on a suit that [[InvisibleMan turns him invisible.]] He uses it for some petty jewel thievery, as most two-bit thugs in Gotham would, but what he really wants is to be with his daughter again, and he now has the perfect way to bypass the restraining order against him by his ex-wife. ''And'' he can now outwit Batman along the way.

* InvisibleMan: Lloyd Ventrix steals an experimental suit that renders him invisible, but in the process poisons his mind.

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Ventrix unknowingly robbing a jewelry expo in front of Batman, who was attending as Bruce Wayne, is what caused the latter to investigate the invisible man, and stop Ventrix plan to abduct his daughter.

* UglyGuyHotWife: Lloyd isn't even considered attractive by the show's art style, with his noticeable pock marks, large lips and a near constant scowl. By contrast, his ex Helen is a more conventionally attractive woman who their daughter thankfully takes more from.

* FriendToAllChildren: At the end of the episode, Batman stops by Kimmy's house to make sure she'll be safe.

* WaterTowerDown: A variant where the water isn't used for [[KillItWithWater a direct attack]]. Batman wins the final confrontation by tossing a batarang into a water tower so that the spray reveals Ventrix's position. With his one big advantage negated, he's easy prey for Batman's superior fighting ability.

* WorfHadAFlu: Batman actually loses his fight against Ventrix because he's dealing with an invisible opponent.

* EmpathyDollShot: We get this as a hysterical Helen races into Kimmy's empty room

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** Once Kimmy discovers that "Mojo" is really her ex-con father, she instantly rejects him because he's a "bad man" no matter how much her father wants to be with her, and runs off to find her mother.
** With the [[FlawedPrototype toxic invisibility suit]], Lloyd could stand a chance to an unprepared Batman, and the fight is in his favor at first. But then Batman gets around this by throwing a batarang at a water tower, revealing Lloyd's position with the resulting water spray. [[CurbStompBattle Then Batman easily takes him out with his superior fighting skills]].
* TalkingIsAFreeAction: During Batman's initial encounter with Ventrix, he manages to expose him by covering with paint. Ventrix mocks Batman and activate his suit to clear the paint off, and Batman waits until ''after'' he's done this before trying to jump him, but naturally by this point he's moved out of the way and the Dark Knight simply ends up falling into wet cement.

* DisappearedDad: Justified with Lloyd, due to being a convicted felon. His crimes and arrest got him slapped with a restraining order from his ex-wife, who wanted him away from their daughter.

* AffectionateNickname: Helen's daughter's real name is Kimberly, but she's also called "Kimmy" by her mother.

* AdultFear:
** The episode is, essentially, the story of a woman dealing with her ex-con ex-husband who keeps breaking into her house under the guise of her daughter's imaginary friend, Mojo, and eventually kidnaps her daughter.
** On the other hand, it can also be read as an ex-con genuinely trying to reconnect with his daughter while slowly being driven mad... until it's revealed a restraining order was put in place ''before'' he went to jail.

* ExplainExplainOhCrap: As Batman explains the situation to Helen, she realizes who "Mojo" really is and quickly runs back into her house to check on Kimmy. Her worst fears are realized when [[AdultFear she finds that Kimmy is no longer in her room]], and she repeatedly calls her daughter's name before breaking down in tears.

* SeeTheInvisible: During their first encounter, Batman throws paint onto Lloyd to make him visible, but Lloyd's suit has the ability to eliminate the paint covering him. For the final confrontation, Batman has better luck when he breaks open a nearby water tower, the resulting shower revealing Lloyd's position without any way for Llyod to prevent it.

* RealityEnsues:
** Once Kimmy discovers that "Mojo" is really her ex-con father, she instantly rejects him because he's a "bad man" no matter how much her father wants to be with her, and runs off to find her mother.

* FlawedPrototype: The invisibility cloth bends light instead of reflecting it when an electric current is run through it, turning it and everything it covers invisible. In the process however, the plastic it's bonded with becomes toxic and thus too dangerous to use. It's never explained why the material was abandoned rather than being used for objects, like the car Ventrix uses, though it's likely even that could still be risky.

* ClothesMakeTheManiac: Justified. Lloyd was already slightly unbalanced, but because of the plastic properties of the invisibility suit, it became toxic when it was activated, making it a FlawedPrototype. Constant exposure drove him completely over the edge into complete psychopathy.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Lloyd says this word for word when Helen angrily tells him that she wishes he could just disappear, which he would later use his invisibility suit to kidnap Kimmy.
