COMIC REVIEWS
(by Aaron Maurer)
BATMAN: GOTHAM ADVENTURES
ISSUE: "Daddy Dearest" (#17)
WRITTEN BY: Scott Peterson
PENCILED BY: Tim Levins
INKED BY: Terry Beatty
ISSUED: August 4, 1999 (Cover date is October)
RATING: ***.5 (out of 5)
"Any murder is unacceptable. But to
target a child...never. Not in MY city."
--Batman
SUMMARY: After an apparent mob hit is thwarted by
Batman, he goes undercover to find out who was behind it and why. He finds
out that the men were after the family's son. Batman goes after the man
responsible, who explains that after a rival gang hit that left him
wheelchair-bound, his only son had died. Checking at the hospital revealed
that it wasn't his real son, but one who was switched at birth. The boy he
is after is his real son. Batman has to give the boy the right to meet his
dad, even though he's a vicious mafia boss. However, after talking with
him, the son says thanks but no thanks and leaves his father. Batman
trusts the father to stay away from his son because of something he saw in his
eyes.
COMMENTS: This issue actually had some good
characterization, some plot, and some very good moments. It's the first of
the issues after Ty Templeton left that I can say that about. The cover is
great, as well.
CRITICISMS: I think that the switched-at-birth thing is
something that's been done to death in all forms of entertainment and media
lately, so I didn't find anything all too remarkable or new to the story.
Also, the art seemed a lot more cartoony than I'm used to in the animated style.
It was more cartoon-like than the actual show.
BOTTOM LINE: A nice story that will entertain and maybe
even make you think. Maybe.

NEWS AND RUMORS
ALL-ENCOMPASSING/OTHER
-Terry Beatty has been and will be selling Gotham Adventures and Batman Beyond
original art on ebay. His Seller ID is: wlee@muscanet.com
Do yourself a favor and check out some great art!
"CURRENT" ANIMATED SERIES'
-BTAS/STAS will return in the fall of 2001 with NEW EPISODES, when Batman Beyond
goes on hiatus.
-Then again, there is ALSO word that BTAS/STAS WON'T return. So which do
we believe? Hopefully the first...
BATMAN BEYOND
-Synopses of episodes #17 through 36 have now been posted, thanks to the COMIC
BOOK CONTINUUM.
Check out the 'NEW EPISODES' section at the very beginning of this newsletter
for details.
-We've just learned that a second BATMAN BEYOND MARATHON will be on the Canadian
TV channel GLOBAL on Saturday, October 9th. 7 back-to-back episodes - but
we don't know which ones they will be. They JUST MIGHT air some new ones,
so anyone that gets this channel, keep your eyes peeled!
-Wanna know some of the voice actors coming to lend a hand to BATMAN BEYOND? Try
this list: John Ritter, Tim Curry, Andy Dick, Henry Rollins, Dan Castelleneta,
Wendy Malik, Jill Eichenbury, Kate Jackson - and more!
-The Huntress will make an appearance on the series. It's been confirmed that
Ra's Al Ghul, although seemingly killed in THE DEMON REBORN (yeah, right!), will
rear his ugly head in BATMAN BEYOND? How, you ask? Well, that's something Dini
won't say. All he'll say is that it's a 'neat idea'.
-Apparently there is a strong push inside WB for Batman Beyond to run in a
"prime time" slot. However producer Bruce Timm thinks that it will
remain in its Saturday morning slot for at least a while longer. "Yes,
there is interest in Batman Beyond in prime time, but they really need Batman
Beyond on Saturday mornings. It's kind of an umbrella show; it helps raise the
ratings on all the shows. They need it to help prop up Saturday mornings."
ANIMATED COMICS
-Poison Ivy will be appearing in GOTHAM ADVENTURES #20.
-Lock-Up is planned to be used in the near future.
-Ty Templeton's upcoming two-issue stint on Superman Adventures will be
co-written with Dan Slott.
-The Terrific Trio will appear in BATMAN BEYOND #3.
-The Royal Flush Gang will appear in BATMAN BEYOND #4.
-If you want pics for BATMAN BEYOND iossues #1-3 go to GOTHAM CITY LIMITS
http://www.batman.genxer.com
It has synopsis and pictures for the first three issues, and the covers look
very sweet, plus it looks like DC will still be running the TERRIFIC TRIO story
in BB #3. Preview section URL:
http://members.xoom.com/_XOOM/City_Limits/previews.html
OTHER COMICS
-Both Greg Rucka AND Devin Grayson will be writing the finale to NO MAN'S LAND,
with the three-part "End Game".
-Issue #2 of BATMAN: DARK VICTORY (in November) will feature the Riddler.
-Issue #3 of BATMAN: DARK VICTORY (in December) will feature the Scarecrow.
-Robin will get his one "YEAR ONE"-type miniseries, (four parts total)
come next year. This will also feature Two-Face, a whole gallery of Batman's
"classic" villains, and introduce a brand new villain specifically for
Dick Grayson to square off with.
-For more, see the "Road Through No Man's Land" section below.
MOVIES (which two of these scoops are true?)
-CINESCAPE REPORTS THE FOLLOWING (this one's true):
It appears that the negative response to Batman and Robin affected
George Clooney more deeply than we may have previously guessed. While talking to
Cinescape contributor Cindy Pearlman in her syndicated column, Clooney came
clean on how that acting selection has affected his work choices ever since
saying, "I think Batman not doing so well was a real awakening for me. That
was the turning point where I said, ‘OK, I'm just going to do projects and
scripts that I like.’ I sat down with my business manager and he said, ‘You
can do that.’ Since then it was a long road to get Out of Sight made, and it
was a good film. That's enough for me. This is a great script and a good film. I
just finished a movie with the Coen brothers based on Homer's The Odyssey, but
set in 1935. It's as good a movie as I will ever do."
-KEANU REEVES HIMSELF REPORTS THE FOLLOWING (this one is true, too.):
Two weeks after tvtimes exclusively revealed that he's to take over
the cowl and cape from George Clooney, Keanu Reeves now talks to Insider* about
his hopes for the new Batman film.
"It'll have to be dark, very sombre. Something that'll make
people think twice about whether they're actually watching a Batman film or not.
Bruce Wayne's a guy- and we're talking serious wealthy dude- who has a
pychological need to dress up, disguise his face and fight equally twisted bad
guys. I want to se more about what makes him tick- Bruce is far more than just
your average wacko.
"I would have to insist, and i mean most strenuously, that any
Batman film i'm involved in would have to have The Joker in it- absolutely. He's
the archetypal bad guy, the Bat-nemesis.
He's the dude with whom the Bat must battle- he's in the film, or i'm not! And
Jack Nicholson has to do it again- definately. Caeser Romero was cool on TV, but
that was when Batman was all 'pows' and 'zaps'- right for the time, but Batman
has matured. The old Batmobile had serious style, though- a man could drive in
that and know thte meaning of cool."
AND THEN THERE'S ALL THIS STUFF (true or false?):
-Arnold Schwarzenegger is currently in talks with the WB about his future with
the studio. "I always intended to play the most memorable villain, and the
public is screaming for more of me.
They say that I even outshine that "The Joke-Maker" that Jack Nich-awl-son
played in the first movie. Mr. Chill is zee best thing about Batman, PERIOD,
which is why he's the only bad guy that wasn't killed at zee end. I'm
coming back, and I assure you that it's going to be very...heh heh...COOL."
Arnold laughed for about five minutes after saying that. BATMAN 5: SO VERY TIRED
is set for a release date of February 30, 2001. *COUGH* *AHEM*
-In related news, Kevin Sorbo has turned down the role of Killer Croc in the
upcoming Bat-epic, BATMAN 6: SWAMP THAAANG. Why? "I read the script, and
all I did was scream, roar, and throw rocks at people," he said. "I
don't know who this Dini guy is, but I sure wish he made my character look more
intelligent. I'm getting paid $30 Million for THIS? I don't think
so."
Sorbo has left the role. With this intriguing development, the WB has
ventured into Hollywood's seedy underbelly to find a weirder, grosser actor to
carry off the part. A WB exec claims "We've narrowed down the choices to
either Dennis Rodman or John Holmes." They claim that Holmes is in a
slight lead because he already has a significant "tail" of his own -
perfect for Croc.
-Apparently Robin Williams and Martin Short both want to play the role of the
Mad Hatter so badly that they had decided to compete for the role in the form of
an improv-off. The best improvisation artist gets the role. Watch for these two
go head to head on WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY?, this fall on ABC.
-In related news, various "Wonderland" scenes in BATMAN 5: SO VERY
TIRED (in which the Hatter appears) will be filmed on location at the Tea
Cup ride at Disneyland in Anaheim, California.
-Rumours about Jenny McCarthy playing Harley Quinn in an upcoming feature are
popping up all over the net again. "I love the character. She's so kookie.
So crazy. So kinky. She doesn't make any sense at all, but it looks like a good
chance for me to act wild and show off my goodies," she told us. Be
that as it may, the WB may not be interested in her any more. Teen pop-sensation
Britney Spears is also in contention. Why? "Her 'goodies' are much better
than those of Ms. McCarthy," an exec said. "Imagine putting nipples on
HER suit!" They are also interested in Spears for her musical talent.
"We really think that Britney's 'Hit Me Baby One More Time' single
perfectly describes Harley's relationship with the Riddler - no, it's the Joker,
right? Who cares. Anyhow, we'd love to get that song on the soundtrack. We'd
like either 'Six Pence None The Richer' or 'Rob Zombie' to do a cover of that
single."
-Two-Face's two molls, Sugar and Spice, both presumed still alive, will be
getting their own spin-off movie, entitled "THE YIN AND THE YANG".
This movie also features their "master", a dominatrix named "Harvette
D. Robyn the 40th". Sounds kinky.
TOYS & MERCHANDISE
-The various combined BATMAN toy lines have become the second-best selling toy
line of the 1990's. What was number one? NOT STAR WARS! HAH!
They're #3, followed by the Ninja Turtles at #4, and GI Joe at #5. The
Power Rangers took the prized #1 spot. Ack. But at least we beat the
tripe known as Star Wars.
-The Playstation version of the SUPERMAN video game has a tentative release date
of September 16, 1999.

THE ROAD THROUGH NO MAN'S LAND
(by Tim "TWO-FACE" Leighton)
Yes, I know this isn't really an animated topic, but I
thought, hey, it's Batman's 60th anniversary, and this is the big event that
celebrates it, so I should have a section dedicated to this year-long crossover.
Besides, so far it's been excellent in every issue. We have this section split
up into two parts - the first saying what has already happened, the second
previewing what's to come. Enjoy!
UP UNTIL NOW...
JANUARY - APRIL: For synopses of what happened in the first four months
of NO MAN'S LAND, go see Issues #26 and #27 of "Batman: The Animated
Newsletter". Follow this link:
http://www.toonzone.net/wbc/newsletters/btan
MAY, JUNE: For synopses of what how things really
heated up in the fifth and sixth months of NO MAN'S LAND, see of
"Batman: The Animated Newsletter". Follow this link:
http://www.toonzone.net/wbc/newsletters/btan
JULY: For synopses of the many things that happened in
the month that all of the other major players in Gotham broke back into the
city, see of "Batman: The Animated Newsletter".
Follow this link: http://www.toonzone.net/wbc/newsletters/btan
AUGUST: For synopses of the many things that happened
in the final full month of summer, see of Batman: The Animated
Newsletter". Follow this link:
http://www.toonzone.net/wbc/newsletters/btan
SEPTEMBER: Leslie Thompkins has taken in Mr. Zsasz, who later
runs on a rampage in the M*A*S*H* sector of NML. To complicate things,
Zsasz is the man that severely injured one of Killer Croc's friends, so, of
course, Croc wants revenge. Batman and Huntress collide with Leslie, telling her
to take Zsasz out of her care immediately. Huntress and the mute Batgirl meet
for the first time. Petit then enters the fray, hunting Killer Croc,
inadvertantly endangering everyone with his brutal crime-fighting methods.
All of this was in BATMAN CHRONICLES #18.
Nightwing has finally escaped from Blackgate, and put Lock-Up,
KGBeast, and all the other villains held within back behind bars, where they
belong. Blackgate Prison is now once again under Batman's control.
Then, in "Underground Railroad", Hardback (one of the
former members of the GCPD) does his best to keep his 100 blocks of Gotham safe.
He soon learns that the Penguin knows of a way to leave Gotham safely, despite
the destroyed bridges and mines in the river; he goes to the Penguin and works
out a deal with him, to get his children out of Gotham. The Joker also appears.
By the end of this story, it would appear that the Penguin is actually a
"good guy"...ain't that sweet?
Robin has finally finished his sewer adventure, defeating both the
Ratcatcher and Mr. Freeze at the same time. (Y'see, they teamed up...long
story.) Batman and Hardback come in and save the day.
Then in "Goin' Downtown", Bane finally makes his move.
Under the command of the mysterious "outside interest", Bane is
commiting crimes left, right, and centre throughout the war-torn city, riling up
dozens of street gangs, and framing Two-Face for doing so. All of the
gangs
converge and attack Two-Face's stronghold at city hall downtown. Batman and
Robin show up, asking the Penguin, who knows it's a frame-up, for help.
They then save Two-Face from being hanged, just as Bane destroys Gotham City -
by levelling the hall of records. Two-Face and Bane get away; it is revealed
that ever since "Assembly", Two-Face HAS in fact controlled the
majority of Gotham.
That's 54 issues of NML so far. For a complete list, e-mail us.
WHAT'S TO COME...
-October: Superman returns to Gotham, saving the city from Petit and his
renegade ex-cops. Then Two-Face breaks his deal with Gordon, kidnaps him,
and puts him on trial in "Jurisprudence" - BATMAN #572 and DC #739.
And don't forget "Batman: No Man's Land #0", featuring what Batman did
when he abandonned Gotham, who encouraged him to return, and how Huntress became
Batgirl.
-November: Batman confronts Gordon. The "Outside Interest" is
revealed. The Joker makes his move. Bane also appears.
-December: NML concludes with the three-part "Endgame" story, and then
a final reflection in the final issue of SHADOW OF THE BAT (#94). The hope of a
new Gotham comes into view - which is when the moment we've been waiting for
finally hits. The Joker returns in a big way to "destroy hope"...by
kidnapping and killing children. And this all happens during the Christmas
season. Batman, Robin, Nightwing, Azrael, Oracle, Batgirl, and Huntress all have
major roles. The outside interest is finally revealed.
-ONE OF THE MAJOR HEROES WILL DIE BEFORE "NO MAN'S LAND" ENDS. (This
is in Detective Comics #741).
-See below for more.
AS FOR THE OTHER HEROES:
-Batman MIGHT reveal his identity to Gordon in November.
-Robin goes up against Killer Croc in Robin #71 and 72.
-Azrael faces off against the Joker AGAIN in AZRAEL #60 and 61 - both
guest-starring Batgirl.
-The Huntress hangs out with Petit for the remainder of NML.
-Superman will return to Gotham in SHADOW OF THE BAT #92, in October.
-Commissioner Gordon is kidnapped by Two-Face in BATMAN #572 and DC #739, in
October. Batman later confronts him in LOTDK #125.
-Tim Drake's father breaks into NML to retrieve his son from the ghastly warzone
- in December.
AND AS FOR THE REMAINING VILLAINS...
-Killer Croc appears in ROBIN #71 and 72, in October and November.
-Echo (introduced back in May in "Claim Jumping") will be returning to
Gotham before the year is through.
-Two-Face cuts his deal with Commissioner Gordon and promptly kidnaps him; he
puts him on trial
in the two-part "Jurisprudence", this October. Apparently he is the
second-last villain to be
defeated. (How fitting.)
-Bane re-appears, and the "outside interest" is revealed in SOTB #93,
in November.
-Catwoman seeks refuge in the Penguin's territory in CATWOMAN #76, in November,
and then faces Deadman in December.
-The Joker re-appears in November in the two-part "Shellgame", just as
Gotham is beginning to be re-built. This leads directly into the three-part
"Endgame" in December, during Gotham's Christmas season, just as NML
draws to a close, to once and for all destroy Gotham and all of its citizens.
