Over a year after the last issue hit shelves, Batman The Adventures Continue returned this week with HUGE first issue picking up on plot threads from last season and linking to other classic DCAU properties like Mask of The Phantasm and Justice League Unlimited. By returning to the Batman: The Animated Series roots with a story steeped in the classic noir from the returning writers Paul Dini and Alan Burnett, the hosts break down the entire plot which follows up with The Muscle character introduced in Season Two of the comic and brings back some recognizable faces not seen since the BTAS days. After the Good Brothers give a thorough breakdown of the plot and discuss the gorgeous interior artwork they are joined by none other than issue artist Jordan Gibson to discuss a myriad of topics including the long journey from start to finish, which artists served as biggest influences, the process of translating the classic BTAS "Dark Deco" style into The New Batman Adventures redesigns, which panels ended up being Jordan's favorites, and the fun had in THAT JLU cameo. Plus Jordan talks about which famous celebrity influenced the look for the new character Esther Valestra, steps taken to adapt BTAS character designs into the TNBA style and Jordan shares the impact of DC Comics using his artwork in their tribute to Kevin Conroy. All of this and more fun await you on this special Bonus Episode of the DCAU Review!
