Short summary

A ruined agricultural breeder of dangerously oversized livestock plots his revenge on Gotham City.

According to the audio commentary, this is considered one of the most fan reviled episodes of the series.

When Robin sees one of the giant bulls, he shouts "Holy Cow!" and Batgirl says "You had to say it." This harkens back to the 1966 Batman TV series where Robin prefaced his exclamations with "Holy".

    I'd heard about 'Critters' over the years, but hadn't gotten around to actually bearing witness until today.

    Hoo boy.

    It's not necessarily that it's bad, but definitely out of place. Giant mutant livestock; it's more at home with "Superman The Animate Series", especially when Batman takes to the skies to fight off . . . what were those, pterodactyls? A silly storyline is doable, but this just doesn't fit with the show's tone, even with the revamp.

    Not terrible, but certainly forgettable.
