Book Reviews of Batman Adventures: Dangerous Dames and Demons
Book Review: A must read for fans of the animated series
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is an extension of the animated series, with all stories written by Paul Dini, and a majority of the artwork by co-creator of the series Bruce Timm. Producer/character designer Glen Murakami also adds his pencils to the the Batman Annual collected in here.
This was created a few years before the New Adventures was put into production so there are a couple things that carried over into the show once it was put back into production. Such as the introduction of Roxy Rocket. In here is her first appearance before she was given her own episode and back story in "The Ultimate Thrill".
This story involves a look at some of Batman's rogues trying to go straight but how it never works out in their favor, such as Harley, Scarecrow, and my favorite, Arnold Wesker the Ventriloquist and Scarface. I always feel sorry for Arnold and his never ending struggle to rid himself of Scarface. This story is no less tragic.
There's the Christmas themed segment that involves top cops Montoya and Bullock under cover as a mall Santa and elf of course. This story was later adapted into a 3 part Christmas themed episode of the series and it was cool to see that most of the dialog stayed intact. The Demon vs. Ra's Al Ghul story wasn't so bad, considering how rushed it was reading what Timm had to say on the slap dash way it was put together. If they had worked out the kinks a little better, I think it could have made a decent episode.
The last and best story included here is "Mad Love". As I have already reviewed this previously in its single book form, I won't go into it again here except to say it's a great story about the origin of Harley and was also lated adapted into an episode of the series. For fans, this is worth owning, as I consider it all in the same continuity and therefore, it's like the lost episodes for those who want more.
