Definitely one of the better SF entries.
When Batman tells Jana, "Don't mention it", for some reason I kept imagining him saying, "No, really. Don't mention this to any one!" Yeah, I'm cruel.
Mxy could definitely be dangerous when he wanted to be.
This could've been better as a stand-alone, half-hour episode.
Just to prove how short-sighted the writers were, I'd have set this up as Robin & Jayna on a date, and then having Zan, Gleek, & Batman added to the mix later. As I said, it was weird they would use Mxy and not have Superman around.
