  • Title: What’s New, Scooby-Doo? – Large Dragon at Large
  • wiki: link

As part of Dragon Week, Throwback Tuesday takes as back to What’s New Scooby-Doo? for a mystery involving some meddling kids and their talking dog. Mystery, Inc. discovers a dragon terrorizing a renaissance fair in Scotland. While mostly running from the creature, in ways that offer throwbacks to the earlier Scooby series with characters running up stairs or through various doors (here through the use of a maze), eventually a captured Velma (Mindy Cohn) makes the most important discovery to lead her to the secret of the dragon and the person responsible. We aren’t given a trap, and with the dragon revealed to be robot we don’t get the classic unmasking either, but otherwise this dragon-themed episode works well enough.

Will Trent – Manhunt

  • Title: Will Trent – Manhunt
  • IMDb: link

“Manhunt” offers the flipside of an episode we got earlier in the season with this time Faith (Iantha Richardson) goes missing after being kidnapped by a convicted cop killer (Vince Swann) at the courthouse. With the local cops out for blood, and all too willing to believe the corrupt cop (Isaiah Stratton) that framed him, Faith suddenly becomes his accomplice rather than hostage. While Will (Ramón Rodríguez) is involved in the case, the episode highlights his partner in a larger role as she even manages to stop the killer cop on her own.

Based on true events, Keira Knighley stars as Loretta McLaughlin who broke the story of the Boston Strangler by being the first to connect a series of muders of women together. Along with the more seasoned Jean Cole (Carrie Coon), the pair continued to explore the case writing a series of articles about the crimes, the victims, the city in terror, and the incompetence of the Boston Police Department and how their unwillingness to share information with other state and federal agencies let the crimes continue to a final body count of 15 women.

Gotham Knights – Pilot

  • 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.
