Menace Of The Conqueror Caveman! starts with a Wildcat team-up against Bane before giving way to the main story, where a caveman named Kru’ll (inspired by Captain Marvel’s barbarian foe King Kull, as confirmed in a later episode) goes up against Batman and Booster Gold, the glory hog hero from the 25th Century. Black Canary appears in the opener, adding more feminine magic. The humor may seem a little close to 60s sitcom level, but it’s all in good fun, as usual. Much comedy is achieved when Huntress uses her feminine wiles on a stoically resistant Batman and a hormonal, love struck Blue Beetle. Night Of The Huntress! brings back Blue Beetle, and adds Huntress to the mix as they go up against Babyface’s mob. Of all the Flashes to choose from, it amazing that they chose Jay. The opener brings in a surprise appearance by Jay Garrick, the Golden Age Flash. No, the time travel angle is necessary here for batman to meet Sherlock Holmes! That, plus we see the origin of The Gentleman Ghost. Of course, he wouldn’t necessarily need to go back in time to meet Etrigan The Demon, since Etrigan still exists in Batman’s time. Trials Of The Demon takes Batman back to Victorian London to help solve a mystery. Nice to see The Question in the opening segment too! When Aquaman rises to the occasion and counsels Adam about his own self-doubts, we could all see it from a mile away, but thanks to the awesome gosh-shucks vibe of the show, it comes off as kitschy rather than corny. Aquaman is along for the ride, too, feeling unusually depressed about his prospects of doing good in the world. Sure enough, this episode features a team-up between batman and Adam Strange, mostly on the planet Rann. Older fans of DC Comics may recognize that the title refers to the first comic to hold the adventures of Adam Strange, DC’s version of John Carter Of Mars. When the first episode is called Mystery In Space!, there is an excellent chance that I’m going to be a big fan. I could end the review right there, but let’s look at the evidence. I loved the first half of season one, and the rest of the season is even better. 2011), 2 discs, 298 mins, 16:9 ratio, Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround Stereo, Not Rated, Retail: $19.98īatman’s world expands to include an even greater variety of heroes and villains from DC Comics, in the series that celebrates the Silver Age Batman.
