Batman: Wayne Family Adventures Vol 4 by CRC Payne & Starbite

100/5 (hahahah this one was gold!)

This post is for Fan entertainment, I’m not being paid.

Now when I am talking to my friend on who in the DC Universe scares me the most, granted I know I said Professor Pyg is up there. But no, number one spot of who scares me the most and I won’t dare cross in a fight is…. Alfred Pennyworth.

Stick with me here I will give my reason, he is an ex-British agent, and he has raised Bruce when both Martha and Thomas died. The man can beat on Superman (yes I know he had help with Bruce and what he did in the Injustice comic series.) and walk away. While Batman has the no kill rule and wont use a gun, Alfred has not made any promise, you threaten his family this guy will rock you.

One of the chapters in this volume proves my point, when it comes to a snowball fight, he will show no mercy to anyone.

But mostly this volume is more funny family times, and how cruel the kids can be to Bruce. Batman got done fighting Condiment King and he needs a new suit. Leave it to Batwoman, Nightwing and Red Hood to pick the legendary Rainbow Batman Suit!!! (We also see some honorable mentions.)

Also, Bruce is not a saint either, Bruce is part of the PTA and after some miscommunication (Yeah right that Marge woman is evil.) Batman has faced down evil villains, and he would not stoop to a level of pettiness that some villain. However, Bruce is not about that, in pure spite and being the richest man in Gotham calls on an army of ice cream trucks to take the dreaded Marge down.

Now I haven’t talk too much about Nightwing/Dick Greyson, but in volume it showed a side that we normal don’t get to see. Dick is normal all smiles and jokes, but when he talks about his old life in the circus, before his parents died and when they did died, he has insecurities about talk about it. That he better than anyone knows how it feels, just like Bruce.

Something that this volume did which I loved was taking a break from the Waynes, we got to spend some time with the Kents. Mainly Conner, Clark and Jon. I am not well versed in the Superman methos so I didn’t know that can’t get their hair cut like earthlings, so they have to laser it off.

Now the ending chapter I just have to say I pity Aquaman.

Batman: The Animated Series Paper Cut-Out Portraits and Profiles

The Batwoman

When a syndicate of mobsters composed of The Penguin, Rupert Thorne and Carlton Duquesne began a smuggling ring sending illegal weapons to the war-torn nation of  Kasnia, they found their venture stymied by a new costumed vigilante who called herself ‘The Batwoman.’  This Batwoman was equipped with a jet-powered glider and took on the syndicate’s operations with violent, reckless abandon.

Although The Batman was certainly in favor of taking down the smuggling operation, he did not approve of this Batwoman’s tactics, the destruction she caused and her disregard for the safety of others.  He was quick to disavow this mysterious new Batwoman and set upon taking down both the smuggling ring as well as the violent vigilante.  

Determining The Batwoman’s true identity proved a difficult mystery for Batman to solve.  This was primarily because The Batwoman was not one person but actually three different women who worked together; with each donning the guise of The Batwoman for different parts of the overarching mission.  

These women were Dr. Roxanne Ballantine, Kathy Duquesne and Detective Sonia Alcaña.  Each had a vendetta against the members of the syndicate.  The Penguin had used Dr. Ballantine’s fiancé as a patsy resulting in his incarceration; Thorne’s racketeering operation had caused Alcaña’s parents to lose their family business; and Kathy Duquesne blamed her father’s criminal career for the murder of her mother.  Alcaña brought the three together and they created the identity of the Batwoman to garner their revenge.  

Batman suspected each of these individuals as potentially being The Batwoman yet the fact that they switched turns acting as the vigilante gave all three plausible alibis.  During the course of his investigation, Bruce Wayne began a romantic relationship with Kathy Duquesne.  

Desparate to salvage their smuggling ring, The Penguin brought in the mercenary, Bane, to take out The Batwoman.  He succeeded in capturing her and when she was unmasked as Kathy, her father Carlton Duquesne was shocked.  He could not kill his own daughter so his partners turned on him and planned on eliminating him as well.  Fortunately, Batman had finally deduced the mystery and he joined forces with Alcaña and Ballantine to save Kathy and defeat Bane.  

Carlton Duquesne agreed to testify against Thorne and The Penguin and all three were sentenced to long prison terms.  With the villains behind bars, the three women cast aside their role as Batwoman and returned to their civilian lives.

Dr. Ballantine was reunited with her now-freed fiancé whereas Detective Alcaña left the police force in pursuit of a fresh start.  And Kathy Duquesne continued her relationship with Bruce Wayne.  

Actress Kyra Sedgwick provided he voice for The Batwoman, with Kimberly Brooks voicing for Kathy Duquesne, Elisa Gabrielli voicing Sonia Alcaña and Kelly Ripa voicing Roxanne Ballantine.  The three heroines appeared in the animated feature, Batman: Mystery of The Batwoman.

Does anyone know which Robin is in BATMAN: MYSTERY OF THE BATWOMAN?

He's never named through dialogue, and both the credits and IMDB just call him "Robin." My money's on Tim Drake, given the costum design as well as the voiceactor, Eli Marienthal, playing Tim before in STATIC SHOCK, but my knowledge on the many robins is limited, so I'm not sure.

Please comment if you have any expertise in the matter because this is I REALLY LIKED THIS MOVIE, but it bothered me that the boy wonder was only named "ROBIN."

Of all the things I expected from Mystery of the Batwoman, Batwoman being a lesbian polycule was not one of them.
