Batman: Catwoman's Halloween Heist

DC Super Heroes: Batman

by Eric Fein, Erik Doescher (Illustrator)

Barbara Gordon, the secret super hero BATGIRL, has been invited to the biggest Halloween party of year. Unfortunately, she already agreed to spend the night with ROBIN, her younger crime-fighting partner. Instead of arguing with her mentor, BATMAN, Barbara decides to bring ROBIN along. That night, the teens arrive at the costume party, hosted by an eccentric collector of Halloween artifacts. Suddenly, all of the lights go out! When they turn on, his prized artifact, a black cat made of rare diamonds, is missing! One of the masked guests must have stolen it, and BATGIRL and ROBIN must capture the feline felon.

Everyone loves when the underdog rises up to finally have their day in the sun, and this story shows Batman's sidekicks doing just that an even more!

As if Halloween isn't scary enough in a place like Gotham, this Halloween was filled with one of Batman's biggest rivals acting up while his two prodigies are at a party. Things continue to sway and twist as even more surprises pop up out of the blue.

Batman novels by Super DC Heroes are clean and wholesome. I never have to worry about what my child my hear and learn when reading these novels to him, they never disappoint and I am always able to say that justice prevails through every trial that the hero must face.

This was a pretty good book, but not good enough. The author could have made the story more interesting. I would recommend this to beginners in reading books. Summary : Barbara Gordon, the secret super hero Bat girl, has been invited to the biggest Halloween party of year. Barbara decides to bring Robin along. The teens arrive at the party, hosted by a collector of Halloween artifacts. Suddenly, all of the lights go out! When they turn on, his prized artifact, a black cat made of rare diamonds, is missing! Now Bat girl and Robin must capture the feline felon who stole it.

I really liked how this let Barbara and Tim be heroes in plain sight - the big reveal was a lot of fun, too. Gotham kind of already has that spooky feel but this was still able to take it up a notch.

Fairly boring to read aloud to the kids, but they seemed to enjoy the characters.

This is a delightful cat and mouse chase.

Fun Batgirl/Robin team-up, but I could have used more Halloween!

We discussed this series a bit more in this episode of the All the Books Show: https://soundcloud.com/allthebooks/ep...

I understand that this is a book for kids. However, I don't understand why that means the characters have to be changed to fit what kids like to read these days. I didn't find Barbara and Tim believable. Just because the book says that's what their names are, doesn't make it them. In the book Barbara and Tim are at a Halloween party, and Barbara makes a comment that makes you think that she would rather leave Tim at home because he's younger, and that automatically makes him lame. All I ask is if you write a book about Batgirl and Robin for kids you actually try to make it seem like that's who you're writing about, and not in name only.

I liked that this story was about Robin and Batgirl more than Batman. It's nice to get to know them better and see them take the starring role in solving the case. A Halloween Party enables them both to be themselves - and to be superheroes at the same time. Of course, it wouldn't be an adventure if one of the notorious criminals hadn't escaped from Arkham Asylum (what a night to escape) and then gotten up to no good. This is probably one of the few times I've seen Barbara Gordon acting like a normal teenage girl instead of being so obsessed with fighting crime. It's a nice change.

This was the only book out of the DC Superheroes books that I read that I didn't like. The writing was bad and I didn't like how out of character Batgirl (Barbara Gordon), Robin (Tim Drake) and Catwoman were shown. Batman was in the book but he was pretty much in character.

I just didn't think the story was very good.

All in all a pleasant enough little afternoon read with my three-year-old. She kind of lost some of her interest halfway through, but I was engaged enough to finish up, making sure to show Keeley each of the pictures when I came to them.

I bought this for my library's collection and hoped for better, especially given the price! The story was lame and sexist.

Cat woman versus younger superheroes

Entertaining storyline. Rather different to read a bat man comic that doesn't focus on bat man. I like that batgirl saved the day.
