I was the biggest supporter of the classic Batman until I recently saw this episode. I considered Batman uber-chivalrous camp until I saw the blatant racism of this episode. It was truly disappointing to see this level of 'red-face' stereotyping and trivializing of the tragic history of settler-colonialism on Turtle Island. AND the Wayne family was one of the first families to make the "deal" with the "Mohicans" - of which there is only one left? So how come there is only one left? The term is holocaust. Great. Fun. Funny stuff.
