I’ve said before that this story is for those who want to see gorillas battling aliens with lasers, and that still holds true. The story has Batman and the Flash teaming up to put out fires started by Heat Wave, who has teamed up with the Firefly.

In 1978, around the same time as the first Superman movie, DC launched DC Comics Presents, a sister series to The Brave and the Bold focused on Superman teaming up with other heroes. Help Wanted – All Joe wanted was a job and ends up working for different villains (consisting of Calculator, Clock King, Ocean Master, and Toyman) where he has encounters with Batman, Superman, Green Arrow, and Aquaman. It reprinted comic strips previously featured in the original American comic book but also added extra content including puzzles, profiles and other special features. A tale of loathing- lies- and laughter- this may be the most frightening Joker story in a generation.The first two parts put a good deal of importance on the gorilla civil war and their relationship with the efforts to reach out into space. and Mary Marvel made appearances in the comic prior to actually appearing in the show, while other characters, such as Power Girl, Kid Eternity, Brother Power and Angel and the Ape, appeared in the comic without ever actually appearing on the show. The best is Wild Dog’s, which manages to get you to genuinely care about a character initially presented as a riff on superhero tropes. The introduction independent from the rest of the episode reminds of the good old James Bond series.

It'd be better if the story were uncensored, but DC won't even allow the word "ass" in their books anymore.

In a sea of these long, ongoing sagas, many fans wanted a series that could offer them a break from the decompression, and bring about the action-packed, random nature of older DC books. The relaunch of Batman: The Brave and the Bold is far from the only disappointing decision DC has made during Dawn of DC. The Panic of the Composite Creature – After teaming up with Aquaman to defeat Carapax, Batman and Power Girl fight a composite monster (under the control of Lex Luthor) which is on a rampage in England.

President Batman – After teaming up with Wonder Woman to defeat Doctor Psycho (who is accompanied by the Clock King, Killer Croc, the Scarecrow, and Two-Face), Batman and Green Arrow must protect the President from the Ultra-Humanite.The series launches in May with a jam-packed issue full of four stories told by all-star creative teams in a 64-page oversized issue. In a Gotham City overrun by the cybernetic henchmen of The Joker, the only person who can save us is the mysterious motorcycle-riding, bat-costumed hero of urban legend.
