In the second big Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries, story writer Sholly Fisch and artist Randy Elliott have Scooby-Doo and Batman team up to solve the mystery of a ghost. One who’s haunting the Batcave! Even if the ghost turns out to be a fake, that still doesn’t solve the real mystery. How did someone get into the Batcave to stage the phony phantom? And does that mean Batman’s enemies have cracked the secret of his true identity?! Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #2, “Going Bats,” written by Sholly Fisch with art and cover by Randy Elliott. It arrives in print on May 11 after digital chapters beginning on April 24.
