Menace of the Madniks!

  • Title: Batman: The Brave and the Bold – Menace of the Madniks!

One of my complaints with Batman: The Brave and the Bold was its choice in the current Blue Beetle Jaime Reyes over the Silver Age version Ted Kord. Most of the show’s choses have gone towards the classic characters rather than the contemporary version. So when this episode delivers not only Kord but his bosom buddy Booster Gold you know that my inner JLI fan giggled with glee.

Nicolas Cage stars as a felon who “broke out of Hell to make things right” by chasing down all the members of the cult who murdered his daughter before they sacrifice his granddaughter during the next full moon.

Bruce Wayne: The Road Home – Batgirl

/ / Comics
  • Title: Bruce Wayne: The Road Home – Batgirl (One-shot)
  • Comic Vine: link

Out of all the Bruce Wayne: The Road Home One-shots so far this is my favorite. Fans of the regular Batgirl comic will get what they’ve come to know and love including some great comedic back-and-forth between Stephanie Brown and Oracle (and Stephanie and Proxy), including one scene which teases something I’ve been waiting for DC to touch on for months – why isn’t Batgirl in the Birds of Prey?

To get back to the story, Batgirl shows up to stop an intruder at Waynetech Research, one she seems sure is Amazo. If you’ve been reading these you know it’s in fact Bruce Wayne moving behind-the-scenes as well as testing various members of the Bat-family.

Bruce Wayne: The Road Home – Batman and Robin

  • Title: Bruce Wayne: The Road Home – Batman and Robin (One-shot)
  • Comic Vine: link

Even if The Return of Bruce Wayne mini-series isn’t finished yet, it seems like the original Batman is back in action…sort of. In the first of a series of one-shots Bruce Wayne sticks to the shadows as the mysterious “Insider,” checking in on various members of the Bat-family to gauge the readiness and test their abilities.

This issue finds Bruce offering some high praise to Dick Grayson (in narration) for not only taking on the mantle of Batman and wearing it with such confidence, but also making it his own. He also gives Dick high marks for how well Damian is performing as Robin.

As with the other one-shots the thread of Vicki Vale‘s search for proof of Batman’s real identity continues as she has dinner with Thomas Elliot and realizes for the first time the man parading himself around Gotham as Bruce Wayne is anything but.

The most interesting thing about these one-shots is who Bruce decides to tell he is back. He doesn’t let on to either Dick or Damian, but does reveal himself to Tim Drake (here) and a few select others.

Even if the issue jumps the timeline of Bruce Wayne/Batman’s return up faster than the rest of the DCU seems ready for, it’s still a good read, and worth a look.

[DC $2.99]
