While not one of the best episodes, The Forgotten tackled a very real world problem: poverty, exploitation, and a system that leaves the vulnerable behind. In this video, I talk about how this often-overlooked episode is a scathing critique of capitalism, complete with forced labour camps, corporate greed, and a villain who gorges while others starve.
From the grotesque caricature of Boss Biggis to Bruce Wayne’s heroism without the cowl, The Forgotten might just be the most politically charged story the show ever told, and it continues to be relevant to this day.
