The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #1

The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #1 comic reviewCollecting the first two digital issues of the new The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries, The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #1 brings Mystery, Inc. to Gotham City to help Batman with a mystery of who stole the gloves off his first costume from a museum exhibit. While Fred and Daphne look for clues in the present, Scooby-Doo, Shaggy, and Velma travel into the past (something which draws the attention of the younger version of Batman).

The new 12-issue series picks up where Scooby-Doo! Team-Up left off, this time giving us adventures all centered around team-ups with the Caped Crusader. The solution to the mystery is a bit circular as Scooby, Shaggy, and Velma cause the very event they were investigating (and a bit of Bat-hypnosis helps explain why Batman didn’t remember the encounter).
