"The Breakout" is perhaps the best fourth season episode of THE BATMAN since the season opener "A Matter of Family". Black Mask is a serious threat who doesn't play games like most of Batman's foes. The episode doesn't explore his background at all, but that can be remedied in future appearances.
The Batman is deadly serious here--leaving the puns and light-heartedness to Robin & Batgirl. The sidekicks worked together especially well in this show, supporting each other even when they are expressing doubts about their chances of success. This could almost have been an episode of the old BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES.
