Recap / The Batman S 5 E 3 Vertigo

Go To

Batman welcomes another member of the Justice League to Gotham as he teams up with Green Arrow when Count Vertigo, a villain who can affect people's sense of balance, arrives in the city with a diabolical plan.


Tropes for this episode include

  • Adaptation Origin Connection: Count Vertigo was responsible for Oliver Queen being trapped on an island for 5 years.
  • Badass Normal: Both Green Arrow and Batman fit this trope to a T.
  • Deducing the Secret Identity: After seeing that Batman’s butler is Bruce Wayne’s chauffeur, Green Arrow realizes that Batman and Bruce Wayne are one and the same.
    Batman: Now do you see why I’m so sure of him, Ollie?
    Green Arrow: How did-?
    Alfred: He is the Batman, after all.
  • Green and Mean: The mean part is heavily subverted on Green Arrow's part as he genuinely means well.
  • Hates My Secret Identity: Green Arrow does not hide his contempt against Bruce Wayne much to Batman's (who is Bruce Wayne) annoyance.
  • Revenge: Green Arrows wants to get justice against Vertigo for stranding him on that island.
  • Villain of the Week: Count Vertigo.
