Batman #160

/ / Comics

H2SH continues following the reveal that Red Hood is working with Hush who begins targeting members of the Bat-Family through any perceived weaknesses or relationships the pair can leverage. Meanwhile, the Riddler (who reveals he’s known all their true identities for some time) offers his assistance to the heroes. The comic continues to follow the pattern of the original Hush arc with plenty of characters jammed within its pages, including Robin bringing in Bane, highlighted in some well-drawn panels whether or not their appearance actually moves the plot forward.

Linda‘s (John Roberts) insistence of a family walk does go exactly as planned in “Like a Candle in the Gym” when Louise (Kristen Schaal), Gene (Eugene Mirman), and Tina (Dan Mintz) get distracted by Fifth Grade Megan (Abbi Jacobson) whose latest obsession with a teacher was caused by an off-hand joke Louise made at school.

Feature heavy The Dark Knight Returns vibes, the opening issue of Whatever Happened to Crimson Justice introduces us to the world of a retired super-hero starting with a police commissioner and an unanswered Red Alert signal atop the police station used to once signal the city’s hero, Crimson Justice.

Tales of the Underworld – The Good Life

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld – The Good Life
  • wiki: link

With the Asajj Ventress arc complete, the show turns its attention to a new character from The Clone Wars. “The Good Life” acts as a backstory for Cad Bane (A.J. LoCascio) who we meet as a child living on the streets with his best friend Niro (Eric Lopez). The pair are taken advantage of by the leader of a gang (who looks an awful lot like who Cad Bane will grow up to be) who entices them to help out on a heist starting one’s life in crime while the other is caught by authorities. Fans of Cad Bane looking for information on where the character started are likely going to enjoy this one the most, although it’s certainly still serviceable for those of us a bit perplexed by the choice of characters for this series.
