You can really tell Derek came from older kid shit like the Smurfs, her episodes have this bubbly vibe that could be jarring or stupid, and the villains are really old-fashioned caricatures. That being said, POV, The Forgotten and Nothing to Fear (barely) are alright, but a lot of the lifting is done by stuff other than the script:
>POV : great premise that's executed fairly well we see the cops give conflicting explanations, but we see it play out like it did. Stellar animation overall, Robbie Benson's bit role is very fitting, as is that Rondo Hatton-looking drill thug. It's also the first time we see Bullock for what he really is. Just a very inspired episode.
>The Forgotten : they are really preachy as well as the overall premise (that fucking villain is laughable lmao) but I still love the nightmares Bruce has, they're a good look into Batman's mind. Alfred figuring shit out and going to Bruce's aid was awesome, and the harmonica music is so memorable and atypical for this show. Corny as shit yeah but I like it still.
>Nothing to Fear : eeeeh yeah this one kind of meh but it's a serviceable enough intro to Scarecrow's shtick, it's your bog standard "Batman gets gassed and he's gotta face his fears" plot. It's dragged down by that sort of preachy presentation CSD's episodes had, the fear hallucinations are really hard to take seriously, except the one with Summer talking to Batman through the TV, that one's great. But the score is AWESOME and so is Henry Polic's voice. And the way these old WB cartoons were produced, you get really memorable sequences like when Scarecrow's thugs get off the ladder, it goes so well with the music. 5 maybe 6/10.
The rest of her episodes are bad and some of the worst of the series yes. I kinda enjoy Prophecy of Doom as something goofy that could pass for a 60s Batman premise and it's got that awesome sequence of Batman fighting Lucas with the sharp shadows (picrel) but yeah it's dull as dishwater.
