The police are after Bruce Wayne…when they should be after False Face!

What they got right: Introducing the Batjet! False Face even robs the Riddler who gets away with the money in part because Robin sees “Bruce” while he and Batman are fighting the Riddler.

What they got wrong: Not having the Batplane on the show? Sure the Batcopter is cool, but why not take that to Londonium?

The Joker’s upset about sharing ill-gotten gains. Even though it was the numbers that actually allowed them to get the best of Batman and Robin, he decides to downsize to just one minion. Guess who’s about to fail.

What they got right: I don’t think the concept’s been done before.

What they got wrong: Part of me wanted to see the second story be Batman and Robin go after Riddler for the first story. I guess the different writers made that harder.

Recommendation: While nothing stood out for Best Scene it was still a fun comic that’s worth getting.
