Batman spends a lot
of the comic riding shotgun to the Creeper. Now that's fine, but he acts
totally clueless the entire way. Not the way Batman has been written out. It
is upon Starman's mention of 'not having someone crazy' that Batman quits
hours of research to pick up on the Creeper. Once he joins him however, he
begins asking the Creeper in plain view what is going on, and wonders aloud
why the Madmen would commit certain acts as if he does not have a grip on
insane criminals back in Gotham.
There seems to be no
problem with the animated continuity.

Blue Beetle's uniform 'electrified looks loads like his other comic uniform.

Review
|
|
While I enjoyed the appearance of the Creeper and the reappearance of Blue
beetle AND Barberi's art (as always). The fact that Batman was off-character
the entire comic really bothers me. It was interesting to see the Creeper
doing a sleuth book but I can't shake the feeling that Batman's not the dude
for the passenger seat. He acts totally dense throughout the book despite
actually uttering the words 'I am a detective.' While Batman's a shoe-in for
a Creeper tie-in, this wasn't the way to go. If they wanted some guy taggin'
along and asking questions, why not the Question?

Notable for |
|
- finally giving
the Creeper spotlight.
- somehow featuring Blue Beetle. this even begins in his '1st person'
narrative.
