- When Reid Jr. and Mulan go out fighting Reid has Mulan's cousin, and mechanic, start making him different costumes. First he dislikes the old costume since he got a dart in the butt. Then he got a spy/pre-Batman Begins costume with night vision, this is thwarted by a thug turning on the lights and blinding him (never mind that's not how goggles like that work). Then he wants something else and it's a caped insect-themed Batman costume (he even replays the entire "I'm Batman" scene). This doesn't work since the thug messes with his cowl and shoves him off the building. After that he finally decides to stick with the original, albeit slightly re-tooled.
The 1966 series
While it resisted the campy elements that were used in the Batman series of the time, it was not without its share of yuk-yuks.
