History Recap / TheAdventuresOfBatmanAndRobinE8TimeOutOfJoint

* SequlEpisode: To [[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE25TheClockKing "The Clock King"]], following up on the ambiguity of Fugate's death.

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: The auctioneer is clearly a caricature of Terry Thomas, complete with accent and BritishTeeth.

* {{Auction}}: Bruce Wayne places a winning bid on an antique timepiece, only for it to disappear at the last minute. Turns out the Clock King was testing a device that slows down local time, allowing him to move much faster than the eye can see, and stole the clock at the last minute. He then tosses it in a dumpster, remarking, "Already got one".

** Also counts as LaserGuidedKarma, since the first time he sees her frozen in mid-fall he has a nasty little chuckle to himself about it. Said woman also beats the crap out of him after he trips over her.

* CellPhonesAreUseless: When Batman wants to call the mayor and warn him of a plot, he is told there is no phone, and Bat's won't work either -- the host is a scientist who chose a dead zone for his experiments so as not to be disturbed.

* OffscreenVillainDarkMatter: Fugate steals a clock valued at 600,000 dollars, and then tosses it away, the theft just being a trial run for his newest criminal plot.
* OutrunTheFireball

* SuperSpeed
* TimeStandsStill: The Clock King steals a device that allows him to slow time to a crawl. In addition to committing the usual super-fast crimes, he puts the device to one particularly unique application. By attaching a spare to the Batmobile, he slows down its time-frame so that the world around it seems to be moving at a large fraction of light-speed; the first vehicle to even cherry-tap the Batmobile will trigger a massive explosion. Batman and Robin disarm the device, and find that [[YearInsideHourOutside several days have passed during the minute or so they were in the field]].

* ContinuityNod: When the Clock King reappears, Batman deduces that he is moving [[SuperSpeed very fast]] and that they are not up against another invisible man. He last faced an invisible foe in [[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE17SeeNoEvil "See No Evil"]], where a man had stolen an invisibility suit and used it to commit robberies and kidnap his daughter from his ex-wife.

* MotiveDecay: Averted; Fugate still wants revenge on Mayor Hill for [[DisproportionateRetribution costing him his job by convincing him to take his coffee break five minutes later than normal]].

* OutrunTheFireball

* VillainDecay: In [[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesS1E25TheClockKing his first appearance]], Fugate's dangerousness came from his AwesomeByAnalysis skills that allowed him to go one-on-one with Batman simply by studying news footage of him. None of that is present in this episode.

* RelocatingTheExplosion: The time-slowing device lets the user move at [[Franchise/TheFlash Flash-like]] speeds. He uses the device to carry a bomb out of Gotham City and throw it into a nearby river as it's in the process of exploding.

* BrickJoke: Clock King gets his hands on a device that lets him walk in Bullet Time; he passes a woman conveniently in mid-fall while sneaking into the mayor's office, but when Batman appears, Clock King makes his escape -- only to ''trip over that woman as she is picking up her stuff''.
