Batman Catwoman’s Halloween Heist Review

Well guys, Halloween is coming up, so it’s time for a Halloween themed review! It’s arguable as to who the main character is in this book, but I’d say that Batgirl may have taken the lead. Most of the plot is with her and Robin, while Batman gets a subplot that is actually more interesting. Let’s see how it played out!

Batgirl decides to go to a big Halloween Party and brings along Robin. Robin takes it in stride and he’s pretty cool for the book. He wears his costume with pride while Batgirl pretends that she only wore it because of Robin. That was definitely a mean move and she keeps trying to undermine Robin’s attempts to do some good for the world. A random guy who happens to be the son of a guy who’s diamond is stolen tries to help out during the final fight, but he’s a lousy fighter.

Oh yeah, the actual plot is that a diamond is stolen. It’s Halloween so the suspects are high. Can they find this person!? Well, Robin does most of the sleuthing himself, but Batman also figures out who the culprit was on his end. Still, this means that Robin was able to match Batman’s intellect which is no mean feat. The villain is decently tough, but I believe that Robin would have been able to win the battle on his own. They don’t call him the Boy Wonder for nothing!

This is a pretty solid book to add to your collection. It is really short and only contains around 40 pages, but this means that the book doesn’t drag on. I would certainly have liked the book to be longer, but it doesn’t really hurt the score that much. Batman was in character this time and he was the best character of the book. One drawback could be that there really aren’t any fight scenes in the book, but considering what the plot was, I hadn’t been expecting any. It’s still a minor negative and it should be noted. I’d recommend this to the average DC fan, but if you want a longer story, then I recommend checking out: Justice League: Any Arc that involves Superman.

Overall 6/10
