Batman in the 1990s. One might think of the movies as the highlights of Dark Knight pop culture, but you’d be wrong. The 90s Batman everyone adores was the Animated Series of course!
Sadly, DC didn’t go that route for the 90’s Retroactive chapter on the Caped Crusader. But, that’s okay, because the captured the essence of the show perfectly with this lost tale about the Ventriloquist. While this villain wasn’t created for the show, he was a major player in several excellent episodes. Here, the Ventriloquist is out on bail and his puppet, Scarface, is looking to eliminate some competition that popped up while incarcerated.
The reprint doesn’t feature Scarface, but it does feature the location of the Fresh Kills garbage dump. That tale is minus a super villain, but Vicki Vale appears and the thugs in this story, as well as the victims, make for one powerful story. Great stuff! I loved every page.
Worth Consuming.
Rating: 10 out 10 stars.
