Lightning can strike twice. But not often. The original Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight series was a collection of classic creators doing amazing stories. DC has tried to recapture that magic multiple times, and that lightning has never quite hit again. Legends of the DC Universe was another attempt to get that magic, but this time for the entire DC Universe. Three of the arcs of that series featured Batman related characters: one featuring Robin, one featuring Batgirl and one featuring the Joker. This week we read those three stories.
- Fear of God (Legends of the DC Universe #6)
- Folie a Deux (Legends of the DC Universe #10-11)
- The Fishy Laugh (Legends of the DC Universe #26-27)
This week’s BatChat column is all about the end of the Zdarsky era with Batman #157
