With Daphne winning her way into a Gotham City talent show, where Bruce Wayne just happens to be one of the celebrity judges, our gang of young detectives is around to investigate when contestants begin disappearing. There’s some fun to be had here with the comic continuing to show off Daphne’s skills, in a call-back to earlier issues. While I don’t understand either Velma‘s act or that of Shaggy and Scooby, it does get them into the proceedings for an issue that doesn’t find Mystery, Inc. running from a ghost or attempting to set up a trap.
Our unmasking reveals another classic Batman villain who is revealed to have a grudge against the talent show (one I can’t believe he would wait years to act one, however) wrapping up event neatly with the gang winning the contest as well (even if its not the right member of the team to take home the trophy).
