The second episode of the series plays on both Bruce Wayne (Luke Wilson) as a helicopter parent and Damian‘s (Yonas Kibreab) proclivity to bend the rules, even if for a good cause, leading to trouble. Along with Judy (Reese Lores) and Trudy Dent (Natalie Palamides), Damian hatches a plan to sneak off on a field trip to S.T.A.R. Labs and break into the secure crime wing. Unable to chaperone, because of more Damian shenanigans, Bruce finds a way to push himself into the trip anyway making Damian’s plan all that harder to pull off.

Set in the world of Merry Little Batman, Bat-Fam is the goofiest attempt at a Batman series since the late 60s that seems to be aiming for the Teen Titans Go! audience. The first episode of the series involves Damian‘s (Yonas Kibreab) attempts to win over Wayne Manor’s latest resident 12 year-old former super-villain Claire Selton (Haley Tju). The two bond over the arrival of Alicia Pennyworth (London Hughes) whose business dealings with super-villains Claire finds suspicious.

Detective Comics #1100

  • Comic Vine: link

An oversized issue celebrating Batman, Detective Comics #1100 includes four separate stories from four separate creative teams. The opening silent story presented without dialogue (and featuring the Dark Knight Detective’s use of sign language), “Lost & Found,” features Batman coming across a hearing-impaired kid and helping him find his missing dog (with a little help from Ace the Bat-Hound) taken by some gangbangers. A terrific tale from writer Tom Taylor and artist Mikel Janín, it’s the standout story and is worth the price of the issue all on its own.

The Brave and the Bold #67

/ / Comics

Throwback Tuesday takes us back to a Batman team-up from the classic anthology The Brave and the Bold. Originally launched to highlight heroes and swashbucklers from the past, eventually the comic morphed into a Batman team-up book. The Brave and the Bold #67 features Batman and the Flash working together to take down a gang of thieves enhanced by sneakers allowing them to move too fast for the Dark Knight Detective to catch them. Unaware that the Flash is suffering from a condition where the use of his super-speed is slowly killing him, Batman enlists the help of Central City’s hero to catch the thieves.

Batman: Gotham by Gaslight – A League for Justice #1

/ / Comics

Obviously set within the world of Batman: Gotham by Gaslight, after an introduction by Adam Strange about Kryptonians and search for artifacts in this world (summarizing events from the Kryptonian Age mini-series) for those unfamiliar with the world, Gotham by Gaslight – A League for Justice begins with Batman, Wonder Woman, Alan Scott, and the Martian Manhunter (with the latter two having  issues with each other to work out) in a stand-off with Superman on the dirt streets of Smallville. Apparently all arriving separately, the group breaks into private squabbles with some helping Superman with the Victorian Age versions of various DC villains robbing the local bank and Batman fading into the night with what he came for.
