Hope to Sea You Later! Batman: Gotham Adventures 29 Review

A quiet night in the Batcave for Tim Drake is disrupted when the Batmobile recklessly roars back and The Caped Crusader staggers out then collapses. Mumbling deliriously and incoherently, the clues he drops for Tim and Alfred are "ozzie fish", "blue rings" and "fish tanks"! The pair situate Batman in the medical wing of the cave. Alfred takes a blood sample and suggests that Tim find Poison Ivy. His first stop is The Iceberg Lounge, and proprietor, The Penguin. With a little convincing, Tim manages to get Ivy's location from Mr. Cobblepot.

Harley and Ivy are hiding out, "on the down-low", when Tim catches up with them at Gotham Botanical Gardens. Harley nearly shoots the place apart, before Ivy is able to analyze the blood sample. 

Tim is able to piece together the mumbled clues, which leads him to Gotham Aquarium and Goggles McCracken and his crew.

Chuck Dixon's story with Joe Staton pencils is incredibly riveting. Can. Tim. Save. Batman. In. Six. Hours?!?! The thrilling story is under a Craig Rousseau and Terry Beatty cover, with Beatty, Loughridge and Harkins backing Staton.

"Six Hours to Kill" is a nifty spotlight on Tim's ingenuity. Batman: Gotham Adventures 29 earns four stars.
