Written by Stan Berkowitz Directed by Curt Geda Music by Kristopher Carter Animation by Koko/Dong Yang	Will Friedle as Terry McGinnis Kevin Conroy as Bruce Wayne Stockard Channing as Barbara Gordon Cree Summer as Max Gibson Chris Mulkey as Shriek Jeff Glen Bennett as Zookeeper	Sean Donnellan as Virtual Anchor Brian George as Jace Tkeyah Crystal Keymah as Old Woman Michael Rosenbaum as Ollie James Sikking as Foreman

The villain's plot is ingenious: Mess with the sound waves over Gotham, and suddenly no one can understand anyone else. And some masterful editing keeps the subjective and objective points-of-view, and the resulting intersection of confusions, beautifully lucid. Beyond the technical skills manifested by Shriek and the show's editors, however, there isn't much except some action scenes—chatty sequences about Batman's responsibilities only remind us that "babel" and "blabber" are closely related.
