Review

I enjoy all the different sidekicks we get in these stories. This time, it is Batgirl's turn to assist. Like the other titles in the series, this one follows the formula of Batman and his sidekick teaming up to solve a problem. And this title is a fun one!

The story begins with Batman on a night patrol in a rundown part of Gotham City (isn't that most of the city?). As he swoops overhead, we swap to Poison Ivy, who has created a greenhouse in this area and is testing a new plant food formula. Of course, it all goes wrong, and soon, her plants are growing out of control and smashing through the building.

Attracted by the destruction, Batman swoops in and is soon trapped within the vines, seeking aid from Batgirl. The duo soon has everything under control with Freeze Capsules and Batrangs.

It's an absolute classic tale. It is nothing to excite a diehard fan, but this is fun and exciting for a young kid. Expect more of these titles soon.
