Comic Review: Batman '66 #25

Despite not realizing it, this is an issue that I've been waiting on for a while. Well, half of it is; this is one of the issues with two stories in it, and the first one is something that I've been looking forward to. Night of the Harlequin features the return of Harley Quinn (spelled Harlequin here, but I just prefer using the other spelling), and I've wanted to see more of her since she first appeared. The second one, Bad Men, is probably the better of the two stories in this issue, but the first is the one I have been waiting for.

Comic Review: Batman '66 #24

I've read this series since it started, and never really figured out why I like it so much. In this issue, it finally clicked; this comic is aggressively trying to be what most others desperately try not to be. It is especially the furthest thing from other Batman comics, and I love it for that.

Comic Review: Batman '66 #23

On the actual Batman TV series, which this comic is based off of, one of the most memorable gimmicks of the show was that every episode was a two-parter. In this issue, and a few others in the series, they have done exactly the opposite, taking two separate but sometimes related stories, and telling them both in a single issue. In this case, we have "Monsters A-Go-Go", with stories focused on Solomon Grundy and Clayface.

Comic Review: Batman '66 #22

For most people, it seems that the favorite flavor of Batman is dark, a tone set in place by Miller, Burton, and Nolan, and continuing on with the movies and most of the comic series. While I love it when well done, more can be done with Batman, and Batman '66, a spiritual successor to the TV series, has filled that void for a while now. While this issue is not the strongest, it still manages to capture the feel of the series successfully.
