Batman is a loner. Except for Alfred, the Robins, the Batgirls, Signal, Batwoman and the Justice League. But before many of those characters, there was Ace the Bathound, the first of numerous Bat pets, mostly brought into the cave by Damian, another noted loner , and that club now includes Titus, Alfred the tuxedo cat and Batcow. Another noted dog lover is this week’s Patreon backer, Dan Grote, who asked us for stories about Bat pets. So we’re going into all ages territory for some Scooby Doo and Tiny Titans, and then reading what might be the most heart warming story Mark Russell ever wrote.
- A Dog-gone Crisis (Scooby-Doo Team-Up #18 [Digital 35-36])
- Aw Yeah, Pet Club! (Tiny Titans #13,17,21,23,28,33)
- Hounded (Batman: Urban Legends #11-16)
