While escaping a dull party, Bruce Wayne finds Catwoman robbing a vault and gives chase as Batman. This animated short was included on the Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman DVD. It's actually better than that movie, although that's not saying a lot. The "plot" here is basically that Bruce Wayne, bored at some swanky party, happens upon Catwoman robbing a safe. He quickly changes into Batman and gives chase. He pursues her across Gotham on rooftops and on vehicles before ending up at the zoo. It's not a bad idea for an artistic little short but the execution is lacking. This is done in the style of the later Batman cartoons, not the classic Batman: The Animated Series. So Catwoman weirdly has blue skin. Never figured out why they did that. The whole thing is without dialogue and has a jazz soundtrack throughout. It isn't my favorite genre but I've heard some jazz tunes that would have been better suited for this. The music here does not feel like it was done originally for the short, nor does it fit well. It doesn't match the images on screen which kind of undermines the concept. Oh well, at least they tried. Considering contained just music and no actual dialogues from the characters it was pretty good. It goes to show that not everything needs to have speaking in.<br/><br/>Bruce Wayne is at a party he notices a women who looks a bit like Selena Kyle (Catwoman) but three girls get Bruce first. He escapes to the basement and notices Catwoman robbing it. Then Batman chases her all around town and the zoo? for some reason. Overall good and the music as well.
