Batman and Robin face off against Olga, the Queen of the Cossacks . You see, Olga is the girlfriend of Egghead whom the Dynamic Duo put behind bars. Out for revenge, she sics her Bessarovian Henchmen and trained Bears on them and falls in love with Batman in the process. Meanwhile, Barbara Gordon may have set up future trouble with her interest in an ancient mystical book.

Ted Naifeh's art is great. This issue has the look I really want for this book. It is not as realistic as Tom Templeton's, but it's also not too cartoony either. It fits the book so well.
I'm not sure if this is a one shot, but I suspect that Barbara Gordon and her mysterious old book may be a setup for the next issue. If that's the case, I can't wait. I love me all the Batgirl I can get!
Jeff Parker returns for Batman '66 and while it is all good fun as usual, it feels too much like a filler issue to get too excited about. The story, while not very fulfilling, is funny and all in good fun.
7.0/10
