Gotham 3.12: “Ghosts” – My Rating: 5/5
Arrow 5.10: “Who are You?” – My Rating: 4/5
Legends of Tomorrow 2.9: “Raiders of the Lost Art” – My Rating: 4.5/5
…and my pick of the week is… DETECTIVE COMICS!!!
The Batman ’66 series (and miniseries) just need to stop. They were fun for a while, but haven’t been good, really, since Kevin Smith’s Green Hornet crossover. But it was nice to see the return of Arrow (albeit an angry fake-out rage-inducing episode) and Legends of Tomorrow. Any ideas as to Prometheus’ identity? I’m starting to think it might be Ra’s al Ghul under that hood. Wouldn’t that be neat? A long shot, but the clues are starting to lead toward that. We’ll see. Detective Comics just geared us up for the ongoing Batwoman series and that’s going to be great. And the finale of Justice League Vs Suicide Squad gave everyone their moment to shine… especially Batman, Lobo, and Amanda Waller. What was your favorite Bat book this week? Still tuning in to the DC TV Universe? Let us know your thoughts in the comments and on social media and we’ll see you back here next weekend for another great edition of Baturday!
