REVIEW: DC’s The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #1

Today, many look back at the 1966 Batman show as a campy caper, but it not only popularized the character at a time when comic book sales were low but also sprung a new animated series, The Adventures of Batman. Around then, the popularity of Scooby-Doo and the Mystery Inc. gang helped bring the two properties together for the first time in Scooby-Doo Meets Batman. It took decades before the Mystery Inc. gang partnered up with the Dynamic Duo of Batman and Robin again in 2013’s Scooby-Doo! Team-Up #1, and ever since, their constant camaraderie has been a source of continuous joy for fans. As they continue their adventures, solving mysteries and locking up bad guys, their team-ups prove their versatility and timelessness.Written by Sholly Fisch and illustrated by Dario Brizuela, the original creators of Scooby-Doo! Team-Up, with colors from Franco Riesco and letters from Saida Temofonte, The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #1 brings Scooby, Shaggy, Velma, Daphne, and Fred to a haunted circus where none other than Deadman seems to be the one behind the spooky incidences. With Haly’s Circus being the center of it all, the tent famous for the Flying Grayson and their eventual tragedy, Nightwing jumps into action to get to the bottom of the mystery. As the detectives work together, they unearth some interesting clues that lead to an encounter with the specter itself. But is it a regular mystery, or has an otherwise friendly ghost turned into a vengeful spirit looking to turn the circus into his playground?With the entirety of the tale unraveling indoors within a circus tent, there are acrobats, juggling clowns, and equipment like swings and cyr wheels all around the panels. It gives a wholehearted sensation of being inside a circus performance as the wide negative spaces make the tent feel roomy. But the actual heightened feeling in the comic book comes from the caricaturish artwork style of illustrator Dario Brizuela, who brings the best of both worlds together for an entertaining union. Brizuela’s experience in creating artwork for kid’s books hits readers at a nostalgic corner where Scooby-Doo and his friends still run around from ghosts, and this time, they have brought their superhero friends, who blend in nicely with the setup. But mostly, the brightly lit and superbly placed colors from Franco Riesco make everyone go big-eyed like a child. Riesco’s use of lighter color tones makes the issue look slick. Especially the cel shading style is a callback to the art style that closely connects the book to Saturday morning cartoons. And what is a Scooby-Do media without his signature “Ruh-roh” and “Roodbye”? All that comes to life via Temofonte’s letters, who is not only a good sport, sparing no panel from lively speech bubbles, but also places the exclamatory lines within the best panels to attract the reader’s attention.
