In this episode of the podcast, Clay and Sean discuss the Batman: The Animated Series episodes, “Paging the Crime Doctor” and “Zatanna”!
In “Paging the Crime Doctor“, Dr. Matthew Thorne (played by Joseph Campanella), losing his medical license and forced into becoming the crime doctor by his younger brother, crime boss Rupert Thorne, must perform delicate surgery on Rupert. He can’t do it alone and kidnaps Dr. Leslie Thompkins to assist. Batman discovers Leslie’s disappearance, and rushes to track her down – and has an additional interest in Matthew because he was a medical school classmate of Bruce Wayne’s father Thomas.
This episode was directed by Frank Paur and written by Randy Rogel and Martin Pasko.
In “Zatanna“, the glamorous magician Zatanna is framed for a robbery during her act, and Batman swings to her defense. Zatanna is grateful, though a little puzzled, by the Dark Knight’s commitment to proving her innocence, but the two heroes unite and use the skills her father, Zatara, taught them to expose and combat the culprit: an evil illusionist named Montague Kane.
This episode was directed by Dick Sebast and Dan Riba and written by Paul Dini.
