    Onomatopoeia and his bois feel like a group of childhood best friends that continued to play clubhouse until one of them jokingly referred to them as "The gang" and all of them instantly jumped at the idea. They're having such a good time being gimmicky goons, like it's all fun and games. Love that for them.

    I do like that Floyd Lawton a.k.a Deadshot was taken out so easily. Usually when DC fans think of hired assassins they think of him. But now the writers could introduce a new mercenary. Enter Onomatopoeia. I am glad that he is getting the recognition he deserves. He is my favorite DC villain. Although, I really hope Deadshot returns. And hopefully looking like his first appearance. They did say he was hospitalized and not killed off.

    As someone who is neurodivergent - I do agree with the taking on Onomatopiea, which he is probably neurodivergent. Then again, I do feel like a lot of Batman villains fit with that and part of why I do enjoy them in a werid way is some of the better rep I have seen as most representations it feel condescending or so
    over the top, it is feels unrelatable. Also, I love it when villains get supportive henchmen again. It feels quite relatable like when you are neurodivergent you do want the praise of being told you doing a good job it nice to have reassurance since the world expects you know how to do everything without being told how
    And love your video very well done handling the subject I just have lots on this subject

    Moving Target was one of my favorite episodes of this series, and I enjoyed this look at its villains.
    I liked the twist of Corrigan being a villain hiding in plain sight as well as the hit being on Barbara rather than her father. I agree with you regarding not wanting this version of Corrigan to potentially become The Spectre.
    I had not been familiar with Onomatopoeia prior to watching your other video about him, and I thought that he made a good villain in this episode and fit the vibe of this series. The "POW' moment was a highlight for me as well - a great touch to close out that fight.

      in real life this is how corrupt cops seem to work, as they are protective of 'their own', hence why they tend to help each other get away with crimes and why the cops seem to always stand togetehr no matter what.

    I confess that Onomatopoeia never impressed me as a villain in the comics (too much plot armour for this newbie character to take out more experienced heroes not by making him look good, but by making them look like chumps) and I don't think he did much for me here. As a throwaway gimmick perhaps, but never as a credible threat. Still, his weirdly supportive gang were a nice touch. They seem so PROUD of him.
    I also think the "twist" was just a bit too obvious (and for two particular characters to NOT be aware of it felt off), but I did particualrly like the discussion at the start between Jim and Barbara about how they view criminals, and Jim's attempt at claiming police should be allowed more leeway in criminal activities than civilians felt like it explained a LOT about how Gotham is as messed up as it is, even from someone like Jim Gordon

    I also thought him saying sound effects out loud was odd at first...Until I remembered that I used to do the same thing when I was a kid, and made myself laugh in that moment.

    What made Corrigan's betrayal so effective was the fact he was already set up as a good guy in previous episodes. So, we had a similar bias for him as we did for Montoya.
    One of the things that makes this show so good is their dedication to set up and pay off, which really shows how much care went into it.

    Just finished this series! I really liked this episode lol. I thought Onomatopoeia was going to have some kind of sound based powers, but it turning out that he’s just a normal hitman who literally blurts out Onomatopoeia’s for his actions was really funny! I loved how Batman played into it and said “Pow” as he punched him 😂
    I really like how Bruce’s construction site for “Wayne Garden’s” is what ended up helping out the group. Bruce’s charity and giving back to Gotham ended up helping them out.

    Nice to see I'm not the only one who got neurodivergent vibes from Onomatopoeia in this episode, it honestly made me like him a lot more (and he's already a character I think is pretty cool)
    Specifically, with the way his henchmen hype him up (and even kinda with the whole "sound effect" thing in general a little), he strikes me as someone with narcissistic personality disorder (something that makes him more relatable to me as someone who likely also has that same disorder- I'm undiagnosed but I've been told by mental health professionals that it's incredibly likely)- which despite a lot of people using the word "narcissist" to mean a manipulative, self-absorbed asshole, the actual meaning of the disorder is much more accurately described as you requiring people to express that they like you and/or show empathy for you a lot more often than other people to maintain a positive self-image, engaging in more grandiose and exaggerated behaviors in order to try to get people to pay attention to you and give you those compliments, and struggling to empathize with others (do keep in mind that this isn't a comprehensive list of traits, and that like with any kind of neurodivergence it varies a decent amount from person to person- this is just the symptoms that I, as well as the symptoms most people I've spoken to with the disorder, possess most noticeably)

He just is, and his guys love him and support him as he is. And also, he def. Doesn’t need the coddling, which actually goes to show why they let him lead. I imagine he coddles them in his own way too.

    While this episode may not be as special in my opinion at least we had Onomatopeia in mainstream media. Onomatopeia may not be special though maybe we didn't need to. Onomatopeia was fun as a villain entertainment wise, Muller was a despicable man who never cared for noone but himself, and Detective Corrigan was an unexpected yet interesting twist villain in the end. It makes sense considering the man was loyal to the Gordon family and while his motivation is typical it makes sense. Perhaps he wanted to earn money for decent income since the job was getting ridiculous. Perhaps he was so tired with teaming up with the crew believing that by casting them out he would get more money. It's a shame though that Deadshot was a blink and miss it cameo. Too bad he simply a ONEshot for a villain. Overall this might be number 8. I do feel besides Onomatopeia being the stand out I am a bit annoyed the villains weren't as compelling than previous episodes. Perhaps that was the point but the Firebug episode was the best one at showing the corruption of Gotham. But here I just feel a bit frustrated we need another corruption of law. Sorry I just never cared for this episode besides Onomatopeia. Though if there are at least some pros Barbara is becoming my favorites now from a attorney to a person realizing the corruption of Gotham. She had to learn the hard way. Anf I do admit we were able to see Onomatopeia on the big screen. A youtuber named Mr Rogues still believes Onomatopeia is hard to adapt because his gimmick is comic based. True it is limited but I do feel Onomatopeia even though he wasn't a stand out character was at least utilized. Perhaps we could've had Onomatopeia mimic sounds from others, making the people unsure who said it or distract them with strange sounds. And Onomatepeia being neurodivergent in your eyes...well as a neurodivergent person maybe though that's just my headcanon. But hey that's my two cents on the episode.

    I did really enjoy seeing Onomatopoeia in the series since Ive always thought he was an underrated DC villain in the comics, I thought his gimmick in the show was really funny, and I liked all the callbacks to the old giant text bubbles of the classic Batman shows, though I do wish he wasn't just used as a simple assassin out for cash since Ive always liked his motivations of hunting down vigilantes int he comics but obviously the show couldn't do that since Batman is the only vigilante in this show, so I understand that. I really did expect the twist of Jim Corrigan being a dirty cop who'd betray Gordon, as it really was unexpected and whether or not we see Jim Corrigan back as Spectre is up for debate since I don't know if they'd have him as Specre so soon but who knows?

    The deadshot being a rival to batman in fighting crime made me remember a interesting fact, while guns are more lethal then fists, not all people who get shot die, especially with modern medical technology (and even with old stuff and who knows what tech these guys have). And on the flip side, people IRL who get hit with fists do die.
    And speaking of lethality of guns 1. to make sure people do hit all training is to go for body shots, and 2. even with headshots all kinds of people do survive depending on caliber, whole metal rods have gone though peoples head and that person survived, give it his personality changed because brain stuff.
    Allot of children's media or like seem to have things in absolutes, when reality of what is lethal or not is grey.

    Tbh this one is easily the episode I disliked the most in the show.
    Onomatopoeia is not in it enough. I’d rather have him be the one Barbara and Corrigan were struggling to defeat and then have Batman show up.
    I didn’t like that the client who started the hit on Barbara is someone we haven’t seen before.
    The discussion Barbara has with her father reaches an interesting conclusion but I didn’t notice her character changing nor feeling conflicted because of it in the subsequent episodes.
    It was hard to watch Montoya treating Barbara as some privileged kid. They are supposed to be friends, yet on that scene, seemingly out of nowhere, she called her out on her beliefs (a role already filled by her father).

    The main villain should have been Deadshot. I like Onomatopoeia but I realise that he works better in comics. In an adaption, Onomatopoeia making sounds effects just comes off as silly and Caped Crusader is supoose to be a "mature" version of Batman.
    Deadshot would have been a much better choice but instead they turned him intona bloody jobber. As for Corrigan, he was just too obvious. I know he is based on the modern version (who was corrupt) but it was so on the nose near the end and very generic.
