You never know, episode writer Chris Yost may just pop in to say hello This episode is important to collectors, because the Gearhead villain and his technology are what the 2006 mattel toyline will pivot on, as announced Exclusively by Legions of Gotham

The episode has started. For those wondering, it does include Babs and Gordon thus far. lol, Gearhead looks like Firefly with that facial hair. Barbara is learning to drive, when she spots Gearhead and Batman in-chase. She follows in the vehicle, but gets her tires blown out. Or course, her instructor isn't too happy about this. *note - we'll have to ask Mattel in our upcoming chat if they're going to make Gearhead's car! That'd be sweet. Wow, I wasn't expecting the Batmobile to explode! Damn! Well, I guess we'll for sure see that new Batmobile that will be developed for season 3, as exclusively shown for the first time by Mattel on Legions of Gotham last July

lol, Gearhead looks like Firefly with that facial hair. I hate that stupid coconut..... As do I reideen. Anyway, I thought it was good. I always thought this Batmobile had no limits, but Gearhead has proved me wrong. THE NEW BATMOBILE IS FREAKIN' SWEET! It kind of reminded me of B:TAS Batmobile. Very good 9/10 NEXT WEEK'S EPISODE: BRAWN Same bat-time, Same bat-channel. I gotta stop doing that, but it's so damn catchy.

an enjoyable episode, the new Batmobile is nice, and he did at first look alittle like Firefly, i even think they're both voiced by the same actor. they sound really similiar.

It sounds like GearHead is the voice of Batman Beyond -Will Friedle. I'm watching it so when it's over I'll check the credits.

You know what was weird in this episode? When the new Batmobile came up to Gearhead and Batgirl and Batgirl says "Whoa" when she says that it looks like she has no hair! I WAS FREAKIN OUT WHEN I SAW THAT! Go back and look for it next time you watch it.
Nice to see the Batcycle again.

I wanted to see that robotic arm do a little bit more. I don't like racing, so this episode really wasn't my cup of tea. Nothing was bad, it just wasn't to my taste.

I liked it.
Batgirl was extremely cute, especially with the Driving School bit. "But here's my permit!"
And the new Batmobile is awesome. I love it. I now consider it to be the best animated Batmobile!
This was an interesting take on Gearhead. I'm also wondering who did his voice.

A wonderful episode; good jokes and the villain was great! I like the new Batmobile and how parts of it would "light up" when Batman accessed the super speed. My rating: 9.5 out of 10 I'd also like to know who provided the voice for Gearhead. The actor sounds really familiar. Lots of great toy possibilities from this episode. I'd love to see Gearhead's car in LEGO style, with enough parts so you can build his motorcycle as an alternate model. Add in Batman with his motorcycle and a Batgirl minifigure and it would be perfect!

This was an entertaining episode, obviously designed to showcase the new Batmobile.
Good humor and nice little homages:
-- Nice to see Will Freidle back. My wife was the first one to recognize his voice.
-- Gearhead's car in the climactic chase sounded to me like a podracer from Star Wars: Episode I.
-- I swear I heard a couple of notes from the TAS theme at the very end of the episode but I think my mind was playing tricks on me. It was close tho.
So anyway, I enjoyed the episode but I will say this:
-- I liked the first Batmobile's design just fine and don't like that they created a new one simply to sell more product. Uncool.

Not a great episode, at least for me. Too much car racing; it reminded me of the animated "Hot Wheels" series. This episode is the first one in the series that, in my opinion, seemed to be exclusively for the kids - I found very little in "RPM" for adult fans like myself, at least in the first viewing. I can't complain about a new Batmobile - I've bought every single one that has appeared so far, and this one looks cooler than most of them, so bring it on...unfortunately, there wasn't enough in this ep to keep me interested. 5 / 10

Great episode. Great story, it was a fun, fun, fun episode! The new Batmabile is AWESOME! When the old one crashed and burned into the water and exploded and then Batman popped out of the water it reminded me of Frank Miller's Year One Batman with the way Bats looked.
8.5/10

As soon as I saw Batgirl take control of the cycle, I thought:
"All is right with the world."
Hopefully that will become her vehicle of choice.... once she gets her license, of course.

[shadow=purple,left,300]This was an okay episode. I did like the new Batmobile, and I was impressed with Gearhead. However, a few plot elements didn't add up for me, and I didn't care for the Batgirl subplot.
I give it a 7/10.[/shadow]

I actually liked the change of action in this episode. Some nice chase scenes and Batgirl returns with her own little plot that has to deal with driving. AND THE NEW BATMOBILE! Very nice and it reminded me of the B:TAS as well. Overally I really thought this episode was great although its most likely a one time thing. 9.5/10
