Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn Jazz animated word press website, the quotes of composer Harvey Cohen were published about how he composed the episode "A Bullet for Bullock." Here is the quote. Harvey Cohen - "Shirley Walker, as you know, was the music supervisor/primary composer for 'B:TAS' and kind of set the musical tone for the show: lush, dark, similar to the Elfman scores for the first two films ('89 & '92). With the 'Bullet' score, I was told to write a jazz score but not specifically of any time period. The hard-boiled detective 'film-noir' style felt right. Also, as luck would have it, I got the assignment 2-3 days after Henry Mancini's death in July '94. He and his music were big influences on me, and the score is kind of a tribute to him."
- GoofsBullock should not have been present for the interrogation of Vinnie, much less performing the questioning himself. No reputable police department would allow an officer to investigate a crime in which they were the victim.
- Quotes
Det. Harvey Bullock: Let's get something straight from the git-go, I think you're a freak and a menace, and those are your good points, but the Commish says you serve a purpose, so I go along.
Batman: I appreciate your honesty.

Featured review
A Bullet for Bullock
This episode puts Harvey Bullock front and center in a story that follows him and only him. No villains from the Rogue's Gallery, no Jim Gordon, not even Alfred. Instead, the episode plays like an old film-noir, with the lonely, tough detective looking over his shoulder all the time. He's so desperate, and well aware of his not so stellar record that he has to go to Batman for help, rather than the police force.
I really liked the atmosphere of this episode. The post-Christmas setting really suits it. While much of Gotham is at home with their family in-between Christmas and New Year, Bullock is out in the snow, trying to figure out who is out to get him. The atmosphere is also completed by the music throughout the episode. Old jazz themes between scenes and then a much more lively jazz score during the climatic fight scene (Bullock almost does as well as Batman!) I think this episode is entertaining throughout and seeing Batman and Bullock working together is a nice change of pace. I give it a score of 8/10.
