[edit] Plot

When indigent men start disappearing from the bowery, Bruce goes undercover as lowlife Gaff Morgan to investigate. He soon ends up as an amnesia victim forced to work with other kidnapped men in a treacherous and remote mining camp.

[edit] Notes

Even though it is a favorite among fans, Paul Dini claims that this is the one episode of the show that he would like to forget. [1]

This is the first animated episode where Batman is shown to be knocked unconscious and captured on screen. The previous P.O.V. episode shows Batman captured, but it is left to imply that he was caught after the roof fell on him. Not only that, but it is strongly implied that he allowed himself to be captured.

The idea for this episode was conceived when Bruce Timm and the writers wondered what Bruce Wayne would do if he lost his memory and was forced to find a solution without gadgets or his costume.

One of Biggis' men is named Paur in a reference to writer/director on the series Frank Paur.

Alfred makes a brief reference to Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo, who claimed what is now San Diego for Spain.
