- Title: Archie Meets Batman ’66 #4
- Comic Vine: link
- Writer: Jeff Parker
- Artist: Dan Parent
The Bat-villains reign of terror in Riverdale continues as the Joker attempts to brainwash Jughead (a process that turns out to be harder than the Clown Prince of Crime expected), and Catwoman, under the guise of Miss Kitka (in a nice nod to 1966’s Batman: The Movie), wins the hearts of the high school boys (although she is startled by the sudden appearance of Batgirl and Robin). Now the pair will just to have to fight their way through the rest of the school to get their hands on the felonious feline.
We still don’t get an appearance of Batman, but Bruce Wayne finally arrives in town to attend the gala at the estate of Hiram Lodge where he discovers not only the Siren swaying the adults under her spell but also the town being turned over to the Joker, the Riddler, the Penguin, and Catwoman.
Holy power grab, Batman! Has the Dark Knight Detective arrived too late to save Riveredale from his most fiendish foes? I guess we’ll have to tune in next issue to find out. Worth a look.
