Gotham Knights – Pilot

Alan Rapp / March 16, 2023 / 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

Alan Rapp / March 16, 2023 / Comics

Title: The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #6
Comic Vine: link
Writer: Ivan Cohen
Artist: Erich Owen

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.

Batman #324

Title: Batman #324

Writer: Len Wein
Artist: Irv Novick

Throwback Tuesday returns to the concluding chapter of one of the first comic books I ever owned. Although I read Batman #323 as a kid, it would take the better part of two decades before I eventually tracked down Batman #324 which concluded the two-part tale of Catman getting the upper-hand on both Batman and Catwoman.

Batman • Superman – World’s Finest #12

Alan Rapp / March 1, 2023 / Comics

Title: Batman • Superman – World’s Finest #12
Comic Vine: link
Writer: Mark Waid
Artist: Emanuela Lupacchino

While I enjoyed the first two issues of this title, there wasn’t enough there to keep my interest long term. However, after reading Batman • Superman – World’s Finest #12 I think I may have given up on it prematurely. Despite the title, the main characters in this issue are Robin and Supergirl who each talk to their respective mentors about the unfortunate date the pair had the night before (which is shown in disastrous, but quite humorous, flashbacks).

Batman: The Adventures Continue Season Three #2

Alan Rapp / February 22, 2023 / Comics

Title: Batman: The Adventures Continue Season Three #2
Comic Vine: link
Writers: Alan Burnett, Paul Dini
Artist: Kevin Altieri

Outside of some of the designs of some supporting characters, Batman: The Adventures Continue Season Three #2 doesn’t feel much like a Batman: The Animated Series inspired story. The comic involves the kidnapping of the recently returned to Gotham City trust fund brat Cassie Kendall who apparently had more than a few lovers in her time including Bruce Wayne, Harley Quinn, and Harvey Dent.
