Mr. Lodge is about to destroy Sweetwater Swamp, a wetlands reserve between Gotham and Riverdale that is the home of dozens of rare plants that can't be found anywhere else in the world for development. This doesn't sit well with environmentalists. Two of them, Harley & Ivy, attempt to use reason to convince Lodge not to do it, but when that fails, they decide to kidnap his daughter to persuade him. They arrive at the heroes and villains themed costume gala Lodge is throwing to celebrate the groundbreaking, dressed as themselves. Unfortunately, Betty & Veronica are also dressed as them, and Veronica is not happy about two people showing up in the same costumes.

Meanwhile, a group of Gotham criminals are seeking revenge on Harley and Ivy. They are Lenny the Lamprey, Peach-Head Henry (Ivy turned his head into a peach), and Giggles Magee (He's sad all the time, but can't stop laughing because of what Harley did to him).

To add to the drama, the Blossom twins have been kept out of the gala by Veronica.

Oh, some trivia... The earliest Batman stories were set in New York City, but the location was changed to the fictional Gotham City, Gotham being a nickname for New York. The earliest Archie stories were set in the real life Riverdale neighborhood in New York City before Riverdale was made it's own fictional town, a suburb of the Big Apple, while Gotham is now a sister city of New York. Yeah, Gotham and Riverdale are representations of the same place.

But first, some music...

We'll make the winter springtime
And Jingle Jangle singtime
Right on through the summer and the fall
So darlin', don't be weepin'
And please don't you be sleepin'
When I come a-creepin' down the hall

"For a few years in his early 20s, Nick Wilson had super powers and all the acclaim associated with them. When those powers vanished, so did his fame, sending him from national hero to late-night punchline. By the time we pick up his story, he is not yet 30 and barely an answer in a trivia contest. Faced with a life in a rear-view mirror full of lost powers, faded glory, former enemies, ex-girlfriends, and forgotten grudges, Nick struggles to figure out who he is today. Packing on an extra 20 pounds and peering through a medicinal marijuana haze, he is trying to build a future when all that’s left is just a man who hasn’t been super for a very long time."

"Writer/creators Eddie Gorodetsky and Marc Andreyko have teamed with artist Stephen Sadowski to pose the question most caped crusaders never have to answer: ‘Now what?’ The world's first real super hero Nick Wilson was at the start of a glorious career which ended faster than a speeding bullet. Now not yet thirty, he has to face his uncertain future without powers, without the costume, and with very few options other than dealing with his non-super life one day at a time. The Further Adventures of Nick Wilson is a sometimes funny, always touching parable about the pitfalls of early success, cloaked in the tale of a one-time hero who believes his best days are behind him."

- Paul Dini

From The New York Times

The comic book community is coming together to help the victims of the Orlando shooting. In December, DC Comics and IDW Publishing will publish “Love Is Love,” a 144-page comic book whose proceeds will benefit Equality Florida and its fund for those affected by the June 12 attack at the Pulse nightclub in Florida.

Rafael Albuquerque provides this pinup.

Josh Green: Let’s talk about Kate Spencer for a moment. What is it about her character that distinguishes her from most other heroes in comics?

Marc Andreyko: Her acceptance that sometimes the legal system fails and that there are bad-guys out there who don’t deserve to live. Often it seems indulgent, at best, and incompetent, at worst, when these heroes continually catch and send to the looney bin or prison, villains who only want to kill. They’re not gonna get better, so why risk them escaping? Again. And again.

Following "Batman '66", DC's next Digital First title, is the Lynda Carter inspired "Wonder Woman '77"



Now it has to be said that, though Batman 66 set it's own surreal tone, Wonder Woman 77 was more of a product of the late 1970's... Disco... a certain post Bicentennial afterglow of patriotic fervour and the pesky, pesky Russians....

So what could be more natural... )
