The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #7

/ / Comics

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.

Batman: The Adventures Continue Season Three #4

/ / Comics

I must admit, I’m not enjoying this latest season of Batman: The Adventures Continue as much as the earlier runs. Don’t get me wrong, the stories aren’t bad, but as the comic has gotten a bit darker in tone the comic has lost some of the all-ages magic of the series which spawned it. Batman: The Adventures Continue Season Three #4 is most notable for working the idea of the Batman Beyond suit into the earlier adventures of Batman and Robin during the Batman: The Animated Series run as the Dynamic Duo fight someone in possession of the prototype armor (which, I guess, just took a really, really long time for Batman to get working).

Detective Comics #551

/ / Comics

Throwback Tuesday takes us back to another classic adventure involving the Dark Knight Detective. Continuing a storyline begun in Batman #384, Detective Comics #551 is the middle chapter of a story in which Calendar Man has been hired to kill Batman. Making it appear that the villain has plans to kill Robin, pushing Batman to protect the Boy Wonder (a choice that really pisses off Jason Todd who is already in prime bratty little shit form), Calendar Man continues to commit a series of robberies centered around holidays since the beginning of the year.

Gotham Knights – Pilot

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Gotham Knights – Pilot
  • IMDb: link

Inspired by the video game of the same name and taking characters from across Batman history and throwing them together around a new character created solely for the series, Gotham Knights is an odd jumble. Our lead character is Bruce Wayne’s adopted son Turner Hayes (Oscar Morgan), who is accused of murdering Bruce Wayne along with a motley crew of local kids in Duela (Olivia Rose Keegan), Harper Row (Fallon Smythe), and Cullen Row (Tyler DiChiara). All framed for the crime, with only District Attorney Harvey Dent (Misha Collins) believing in Turner’s innocence, the foursome eventually flee police custody prior to being “taken care of” by corrupt cops on the GCPD force with the help of Carrie Kelly (Navia Ziraili Robinson) and Stephanie Brown (Anna Lore).

The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #6

/ / Comics

The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #6 opens with Mystery, Inc. running away from a case of bank robberies across Gotham City rather than helping Batman solve them. Although confused, Batman continues working on the case on his own (we don’t get Robin or another member of the Bat-Family here). The reason for the gang’s odd behavior is revealed in a flashback where Madame Xandu warned the kids that helping Batman on his latest case could lead to disaster for the Dark Knight Detective.
