scans_dailyHi folks!
Not every new DC comic of the last few years was all doom and gloom; there was the Bat-Mite mini-series for example.
The basic notion was that Bat-Mite had been exiled to the Earth dimension for being too goofy and embarrassing, which had the side effect of limiting his powers somewhat. He decided to spread his "help" beyond the Batman family, to other heroes desperately in need of makeovers as he saw it. This usually caused more problems than it solved.
Four pages from issue #5.
I know ableist language is a bad thing, but I miss Bunny's old name.
The Inferior Five stumble their way to victory over the minions, but Gridlock appears in a mecha suit and makes off with the "Irreplaceable Artifact" he was after.
Gridlock is Bat-Mite's opposite number of sorts. While Bat-Mite is all about change for change's sake without considering the consequences, Gridlock worships the past and wants to turn back the clock to when he enjoyed things. What he's stolen is the alternate pilot episode of "Galaxy Trek", an insanely popular science fiction TV show; the fifty-year-old tape was lost until now.
Bat-Mite decides that what the I5 need is a huge boost in competence and seriousness.
Sure enough, the Superior Six are soon doing very well against Gridlock's minions and mecha, and Bat-Mite manages to get the film container back from Gridlock. But Rabbit becomes increasingly concerned about the attitude change in her teammates.
Yep, Gridlock managed to make off with the TV show, and Bat-Mite must pursue, but not before he praises Tough Bunny's compassionate "smarts."
Back on his homeworld, Bat-Mite's people decide he's still too dangerous even for Earth. They'll need to send someone to fetch him.
