Batman: Caped Crusader - Kiss of the Catwoman

Of all the episodes of Batman: Caped Crusader, “Kiss of the Catwoman” is the closest it gets to Batman: The Animated Series and at times even Batman: The Brave and The Bold (given out title character’s classic costume and posturing). The episode introduces Selina Kyle (Christina Ricci) as a socialite whose family fortune isn’t what it used to be. Inspired by Batman (Hamish Linklater), Selina creates a costume of her own and commits a series of burglaries around Gotham City both for the needed income and for the thrill.

Batman: Caped Crusader - And Be A Villain

The second episode of Batman: Caped Crusader starts when the actress Bruce Wayne (Hamish Linklater) is dating goes missing after their night out together. Batman’s investigation leads him into a swordfight on the set (in proper Errol Flynn style). The fight’s end leads our detective to uncover the bodies of a producer and co-star of the film who somehow Montoya (Michelle C. Bonilla) talked with after he was already dead (we also get an early scene where Montoya asks Bruce questions as well, seeing her appear multiple times over the course of the investigation).

Batman: Caped Crusader - In Treacherous Waters

Bringing together some of the creative minds behind Batman: The Animated Series, mixing them with ideas from co-producer and writer Ed Brubaker, and keeping the noir style and look of that show, but with a darker tone set earlier in Batman’s career centered more around gang violence and corruption than colorful super-villains, comes Batman: Caped Crusader. The first episode of the series sees gang war heating up with someone taking shots at crime boss Rupert Thorne by blowing up his factories. Batman (Hamish Linklater) confronts a corrupt cop eventually leading him to nightclub owner turned would-be criminal mastermind the Penguin (Minnie Driver).

The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #7

Feeling much more a Batman story than a Scooby-Doo story, The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #7 features Batman and Mystery, Inc. working together to stop the Scarecrow who is performing a series of heists around Gotham City using his fear gas. We’re shown the villain at the off-set and, although there is some discovery to be made about uncovering Scarecrow’s master to get his gas into every home, it’s really Batman who is responsible for the deductions. You could take the Scooby-Doo characters completely out of the story and that wouldn’t change it all that much.
