Black Mask's henchmen plan to get him out of the Gotham police department so he can activate his doomsday device.


Tropes for this episode include:

  • A Day in the Limelight: The episode primarily focuses on Robin and Batgirl having to the save the day without the aid of Batman.
  • Bullying the Dragon: Two henchmen mock Batman for not having his utility belt. This backfires as Batman was awaiting them to fall for his trap.
  • Cool Big Sis: Batgirl comforts Robin whenever he's in doubt about their odds in fighting off Black Mask's men.
  • Dude, Where's My Respect?: Robin and Batgirl feel that Batman does not trust them enough to give them the more important missions.
  • Evil Laugh: Black has a creepy variation.
  • Earthquake Machine: Black Mask uses this to black mail Gotham to hand him money.
  • Hypercompetent Sidekick: Although they are no Batman, the two sidekicks prove they are just as formidable as the real one.
  • Underestimating Badassery: Black Mask looks down on the sidekicks due to their age. Nevermind that at the end of the day, both of them not only work alongside the Dark Knight but can keep up with him for good reason.
  • You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Black Mask betrays his Number 1 for letting children stop them despite himself got delayed by them too.
