Bruce Wayne and Harley Quinn don’t have much in common, except for Cassie Kendall. Beautiful and whip-smart, she nearly changed the course of Bruce’s life when she was his high school sweetheart, and shortly thereafter became Harley’s college fling. Now, after a long time away from Gotham, Cassie has returned and immediately has her sights set back on Bruce. But when Harley learns of Cassie’s return, she is all too happy (and manic, and unpredictable) to reconnect with her old college girlfriend. As Bruce’s and Harley’s paths cross, it becomes clear that all is not as it seems with Cassie Kendall…
Altieri delivers some beautifully detailed art throughout the issue. I love the visual style and how immersive the imagery is. Read Full Review
It feels exactly like one of the lighter episodes of the old animated series, and that's a big win, although the tonal change from last issue is one of the biggest of the series. Read Full Review
This first issue of the new season was great but this one was based on a good idea that ultimately failed to deliver. Let's hope number three can really blow me away! Read Full Review
It's a fine, if mostly forgettable Batman & Harley story that could fit into any Bat-title, although, if it's not a purposeful attempt to steer the series in a different direction, it seems a bit out of place here. Read Full Review
Batman: The Adventures Continue Season 3 #2 is a team-up story between Batman and Harley Quinn that can never quite figure out how to meaningfully include them both. The addition of a new character tied to both of their pasts feels contrived, and forces retcons which are hard to buy. A mix of messy artwork and muddled story results in a disappointing second issue after such a strong debut. Read Full Review
A pretty good stand-alone story. It's good to have somewhere where they're still available, as I tend to tire of the average 5-8 (if not meven more) part stories of today halfway through. The art wasn't very reminiscent of the show, and it certainly doesn't limit itself for a younger audience like the old series did, but I guess it doesn't matter since all its old fans are now grown up anyhow. kind of like if the series returned for Adult Swim (Now there's an idea).
So far Season 3 delivers the same intrigue as the previous two. It's one of the best Batman books out there, along with the Audio adventures. Too bad they're both limited series, because the two regulars aren't really too good now.
