The Joker’s right-hand man, Straightman, isn’t quite feeling himself lately. He keeps experiencing moments…flashbacks…of a life he doesn’t remember. After a recent run-in with the Clown Prince and his stoic enforcer, Batman starts to unravel the man’s past, but it lands him smack dab in the crosshairs of Amanda Waller and Task Force X!
Templeton delivers great art throughout the issue. I love the look of the series and how it maintains the style of the animated series while elevating it in visually fun and engaging ways. Read Full Review
Loved it. The script, the plot, and the art were all absolutely excellent. My only complaint was, couldn't they think of a better name than Straightman? Let's see how that goes next issue Read Full Review
Batman: The Adventures Continue Season Three #3 is a good expansion upon DCAU lore, exploring new characters and further connecting Batman the animated series to the rest of the DC animated universe. It also explores new characters and brings back minor characters from the show. Beyond that, there is a new iteration of the Suicide Squad, no doubt to be explored more in future issues. Batman: The Adventures Continue Season Three #3is must-read for fans of the classic DCAU version of Batman, especially those who are interested in seeing new characters added to the mythos.

This arc is a bit of a slow burn, but it continues to be one of the best alternate-universe Batman comics at the moment. Read Full Review
Batman: The Adventures Continue Season 3 #3 is an interesting first chapter that manages to introduce a lot story elements, but it's unclear how well it will follow through. It leans into the story's mysteries which provide an interesting angle to explore the new characters, and allows their pasts to shape the conflict. The success of the rest of the story hinges on how compelling of a character Straightman will turn out to be. Read Full Review
As usual, one of the month's better Batman stories. I'm not much of a fan of the Straightman character, but his origin is somewhat interesting. At least for such a second rate character. Otherwise it was a rather slow story, but as I said, still better than most Batman these days. It's one of the few Batman books left I'd really recommend.
