Featured review
With impressive direction and acting, but also some of the best writing of the show - Lazarus is an episode made for Batman fans
"Lazarus" follows the aftermath of the previous episode which saw Dick Grayson taking Jonathan Crane/The Scarecrow out to forest and getting answers, the other storyline had Starfire and Gar find Blackfire and break her out of a prison cell. But episode 3.05 is told through flashbacks and follows Jason Todd as he experiences nightmares involving Donna. Bruce responds by having Jason receive therapy sessions from Dr. Leslie Tompkins, a former colleague of Crane. When Jason learns that Bruce intends to remove him as Robin, he begins helping Crane in exchange for a drug that will eliminate his fear. There's lots of Easter eggs and callbacks, I personally found "Lazarus" to be an excellent use of storytelling, the writers did a terrific job in terms of the dialogue and overall writing, the attention to detail is what made me enjoy it fully. Krista Bridges gets introduced as Dr. Leslie Tompkins, a very important character in the Batman mythology. I love how they have gone into the psychology of being a vigilante and especially Batman and his proteges, it makes for some interesting and original storytelling, branching out from the usual.
Boris Mojsovski took up the position of both cinematographer and director, normally just the cinematography. I have continued to praise the cinematography since the first season, he's actually a great director too. There's some truly phenomenal acting in this episode, Iain Glen as Bruce Wayne and Curran Walters as Jason Todd, their performances alone are a reason why I loved this episode. I know from other roles that Iain Glen is a terrific actor but seeing him as Bruce Wayne in this season have been incredible, Curran Walters though he have grown as an actor and possibly given the best performance of his career to this date in these 45 minutes. The episode is full of excellent drama and scenes so memorable. Vincent Kartheiser continues to do Dr. Jonathan Crane justice, another terrific performance. I also want to praise the editing and pacing of the episode, it's what the previous episode lacked, everything is great and so is the choice of music plus the score.
Comic Book writer Bryan Edward Hill penned the script for "Lazarus" and he knows the characters and Batman mythology so well, that's how it should be and I'm grateful they picked him. Boris Mojsovski, the director and cinematographer, he deserves a lot of praise. Episode 3.05 was among the best episodes of this season and possibly the entire show.
