There are many great supporting characters in the Batman mythos. Alfred. The myriad Robins and Batgirls. Jim Gordon. Leslie Thompkins. And then, there is Bat-Mite, the 5th Dimensional imp who claims to be Batman’s biggest fan. And he is, in the same way that Annie Wilkes is to Paul Sheldon (that’s a Misery reference for those who don’t know their Stephen King). Dan Grote wanted us to talk about Bat-Mite, so here we go, three very different stories about a magical floating imp in a Batman costume.
- Legends of the Dark-Mite/Mitefall (Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight # 38/Batman: Mitefall)
- Bat-Mite’s New York Adventure (Detective Comics V.1 # 482)
- Crisis of Infinite Scoobys! (Scooby-Doo Team-Up # 50 [Digital Chapters 99-100])
