THE BATMAN ADVENTURES ANNUAL #1

“GOING STRAIGHT.” Hollywood stuntwoman Roxanne Sutton turned to crime as the thief Roxy Rocket. After serving two years for her crimes, she is released for good behavior. Batman questions whether she will truly reform or if it is all a mere act. Plus, “A PUPPET SHOW” and “LAUGHTER AFTER MIDNIGHT.” This is a collection of various one-shot short stories featuring the cast of characters shown on the cover: The Scarecrow, The Joker, Harley Quinn/Dr Harleen Quinzel, The Ventriloquist and Scarface. The Joker's story, the last in this volume, titled "Laughter at Midnight", by Paul Dini with John Byrne, can be considered brilliant. These stories are cautionary tales. Can they be taken seriously? Scarface is foiled by a puppet frog. As quickly as Harley Quinn is released, Batman recaptures her. The Scarecrow story is pure horror. Catwoman and Roxy Rocket battle over cash. The Joker has a silly, ridiculous romp through Gotham after hours. Note: Ranked #76 in Wizard Magazine's list of "100 Best Single Issue Comics Since You Were Born". This is also the comics debut of Roxy Rocket.
