Consume All Media! Batman and Robin: "Chapter Nine: The Wizard Strikes Back!"

Joe Heath is a big fan of comic books and watching things in order. So they made this spreadsheet containing every serial, short, film, television episode, commercial, motion comic, and web series based on a comic book. Now they're watching them all. Previously, Joe watched the eighth chapter of Batman and Robin. This time, they continue with the ninth chapter.

Batman and Robin: “Chapter Nine: The Wizard Strikes Back!” - 17:07 (Available on Amazon)

Batman gets up and leaves the burning building. He finds Robin and wakes him up. Together, they see the private investigator Dunne lurking around. Dunne bumps into Barry Brown who is also lurking around. They bond over suspiciously lurking.

Meanwhile, the Wizard has burnt out all of his diamonds, but has found the location of some synthetic diamonds.

Jimmy calls Vicki and says he's tied up at the Harbor Club. Vicki finds and unties him. He says he's done with all this henchmen nonsense and he wants to go to the police. As soon as they get outside, they are chased by a henchman. But luckily Batman is there to throw a barrel at him. They all load up and go to the police.

Jimmy fills Gordon in on the Wizard's plan to steal the synthetic diamonds, so Gordon plans to have them moved.

Afterwards, Vicki lets her brother crash at her office, but as soon as he's alone, he calls the henchmen and says everything is going according to plan. Traitor!

Batman starts to think something is fishy when he discovers that the henchman he barreled over had blanks in his gun. He realizes this was a ploy to discover the location of the diamonds.

Batman and Robin see the henchmen stealing the diamonds and this leads to a car chase. But the chase is cut short when the Wizard remotely stops their car. They wave down a passing motorist who is more than happy to give Batman and Robin his car for the pursuit of justice. Though he puts in a request for a better car if anything happens to his.

The Wizard has a device that somehow lets him look into this other car and he sees that Batman and Robin are in it. So he takes control of that car and throws it off a cliff into a lake.

I hope that guy gets the nice new car he wanted.

Should you watch it, though? A little padded, but the plot with Jimmy works incredibly well. It's rare to see a henchman with this much character and plot relevance.

Tune in next time for Batman and Robin: "Chapter Ten: Batman's Last Chance!" (Available on Amazon.)
