character, while other episodes show him in a more serious context as a capable detective. Many episodes blend both of these aspects, thus giving more dimensions to the character. Despite his somewhat corpulent appearance, he is shown in a few episodes to be a capable fighter. Rather than smoking cigars, he chews toothpicks and eats doughnuts. He was featured prominently in the episode "P.O.V.", in which he and two other officers are questioned about how and why an important bust ended in colossal failure. In his recounting, Bullock's voice-over tells a variant on what is visually shown, in which he is painted in a much more heroic light. In this episode Bullock is responsible for screwing up the Heist. He trips over an oil can, and alerts the bad guys that He is there. He then somewhat redeems himself, by taking on a group of his attackers single handedly. He handles himself quite well in the fight, but accidentally starts a fire in the process, from which He needs to be saved by Batman. The effect given in the series is that of an honest, if not exactly by the book, cop who merely looks like the stereotypical corrupt detective. At one point, when Batman insinuates that Bullock is on the take, Bullock reacts as if he was insulted. Although he dislikes and distrusts Batman at first, Bullock develops a grudging respect for the Dark Knight when Batman saves him from The Joker in "The Laughing Fish".
