I loved the series. I even sold a script for one issue under its former title and former management, a tale that pitted Batman and The Question against the Riddler. I don’t think anyone had done that before. But alas, it won’t see print. Such is life in the comicdom!

@Thad, I’ve been watching TB&TB with my daughter (just turned 4) since the start. I was the one who got all weepy when Batman told the kids that he’d always be out there protecting the innocent with his hammers of justice in the last episode…

There's at least one, with a second due at the end of August.

“I’m terribly sad that this is the last issue of one of the comics I most looked forward to each month — although not as disappointed as John Jakala was — but at least it goes out on an amazing high point.”

That’s about how I felt about the end of the TV series. I’m not embellishing when I say it was probably the best last episode of any show I’ve ever seen (Bat-Mite is sick of the show and wants it cancelled so they can replace it with a grim-n-gritty reboot, so he engages in various meddling-with-the-formula approaches like recasting, relocating, increased toy merchandising, and saddling Batman with a wife and daughter. Inspired guest appearances by Henry Winkler and Ted McGinley.).

I only picked up one issue of the comic (it frequently sold out at my LCS — a good sign!); I haven’t seen any trades but…they’ve gotta be out there, right?

My daughter (age 7) was also very disappointed to see the series end–this is the second book that DC has canceled out from under her (Sholly Fisch’swonderful Superfriends being the first).

I hope they do an Omnibus of the series.

I was pretty bummed, but that last page helped.

When I read it to my son, he ran over to his bookshelf and pulled out his back issues and started going over his favorites, so it was a fitting end to a wonderful series.
