== The Episode "Sneak Peek" ==
* In this episode Bruce Wayne claims that Peek isn't actually a criminal because being a reporter isn't against the law. I'm pretty sure trespassing is illegal and videotaping people without their permission violates a ton of privacy laws. Not to mention the fact that a lot of the information he reveals seems to put people directly in danger... or that he has been knocking out security guards and setting fire to buildings. Seriously, the guy's a supervillain, why is Bruce acting like its not their job to take him down?
** It's because the guy is being portrayed as no different from any other papparazzi. He's just really good at it. Bruce at the very least thinks it's beneath Batman to go after the papparazzi.
** Probably the bias of the show's writers. Despite being a sleazy, privacy-violating, thieving reporter, Peek is still a ''reporter'', and from the viewpoint of a lot of people, pesky laws like private property and property rights don't apply to The Fourth Estate, who can do as they please as long as it's in the name of bringing "news" to the people.
* At the end of the episode, Ian Peek sinks into the earth's core and begins to [[Villainous Breakdown|go crazy.]] Okay...but then why exactly does he start [[Laughing Mad|laughing maniacally]] and then wave goodbye to Terry as he sinks to his doom?
** He finally realized he was boned and just snapped
