Judging by a lot of the responses, am I the only here who thought this episode was an improvement from the pilot?[/QUOTW]
Absolutely not. I preferred this episode to the pilot...and I had enjoyed the pilot.
Agreed. I loved how the cop just ditched the dead hobo. You can see why the future GPD will not be able to catch Batman or any criminals.
I can't say the Riddler has ever felt shoehorned in. Every scene he's in he's talking about forensic stuff that is pertinent to the case.
You could see a bit of it in the first scene, when he shouts at Bruce and then hugs and apologizes to him.
