Roland Daggett isn’t a costumed supervillain, but in Batman: The Animated Series he proves just as dangerous. In the episode Appointment in Crime Alley, Daggett puts profit above human life, plotting to destroy Gotham’s Park Row so he can cash in on luxury condos. But this neighbourhood is more than just Crime Alley, it’s a place filled with history, resilience, and people worth protecting. With Leslie Thompkins standing up for her community and Batman fighting to keep its residents safe, this story shows us that the true battle for Gotham isn’t always against monsters or masterminds, but against greed itself. Join me as I explore how this episode adapts Detective Comics #457, why Leslie Thompkins is such a vital figure, and what this tale says about gentrification, memory, and the human cost of so-called progress. 🔔 Subscribe for more in-depth reviews and analyses of your favourite DC cartoons and comic books! 👍 If you liked the video don't forget to like, share, and leave a comment! 🔔 Click the bell icon to stay updated on future content! 🌟 Become a member for exclusive perks and early access! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0yFOXbX98P3qz-IvT7uRQQ/join 🎶 Music by Katt Strike - listen to the whole track here: https://youtu.be/VKdA2lCjtas?si=pi0iWvL5bMCJupHL And if you enjoyed this video I've got many more you could watch.
