The Creeper is a weird character. He’s a guy with yellow skin, a green and black banana hammock, and a red fur boa. That’s a heck of a look. He’s also a good guy that most think is a bad guy. And sometimes he hangs out in Gotham City. That’s a lot on a character who DC has tried to get over no less than four times with their own series that has never taken off. But because he’s a sometimes Gotham character, we can cover stories where he interacts with the Bat family (this is entirely an excuse because Matt recently got a comic with Batman and the Creeper and wanted an excuse to read it). We see him and Batman fight a bug-man, team up with Joker and get involved with Batman in a complicated plot involving Ra’s al Ghul framing Batman for murder.
