THE BATMAN EPISODE REVIEW: "The Everywhere Man" ORIGINAL AIRDATE: November 4, 2006 EPISODE: 4.4 CAST: Rino Romano, Evan Sabara, Brandon Routh, Allison Mack, et al. WRITING CREDITIS: Greg Weisman DIRECTED BY: Brandon Vietti OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS: When evidence from a series of art thefts by a new costumed villain with the power to replicate implicates a close friend, Batman believes there must be another explanation. Now the Dark Knight must unmask the identity of this rouge called "The Everywhere Man" and prove his friend's innocence. REVIEWER: Bill Ramey POSTED: Saturday, November 4, 2006 OK, finally a new episode of THE BATMAN. And one with a bit of hype as Brandon Routh, star of SUPERMAN RETURNS, guest starts as the episode’s villain, John Marlow -- The Everywhere Man. Seems that this, “Everywhere Man” has harnesses some sort of “quantex power” that allows him to kinda clone, or replicate, himself at will. Thus, he can create an army of Everywhere Men to carry out a variety of dastardly deeds. Of course, it’s up to The Batman and *sigh* Robin to save the day. THE GOOD: The Batman using his detective skills to discover exactly what The Everywhere Man is up to -- and how he’s able to do it. THE BAD: Plenty. Robin’s annoying one-liners -- no, make that Robin period (Actually, he’s OK when he’s just Dick Grayson)…Commissioner Gordon appearing for, like, 2 seconds…not enough Alfred…and the somewhat predictable outcome. Even though many Bat-Fans have criticized THE BATMAN, I myself liked it. With that said, except for this season’s premiere and maybe the “CLAYFACES“ episodes, I’m raking this season below average at best. Maybe it’s because of the addition of Robin and I’m a fan of the solo Batman. Nevertheless, I’m putting it on the writers and producers of the show for making Robin so irritating -- he basically shows up doing flips and spouts off something that makes one’s eyes roll. Oh well, there’s still plenty of episodes left this season -- enough time to get it in gear.
