The Justice League Never Forgets to Flush
CBR put out this new clip from Justice League: Doom, the next DC animated cartoon straight-to-DVD movie (with Kevin Conroy as Batman and Tim Daly as Superman, no less), which features Batman fighting the Royal Flush Gang and is looking pretty keen. The Gang seems to be certain that Batman wouldn’t fight them alone, which seems pretty presumptuous to me. They’re hardly the Injustice League or anything. Batman went to fight fucking Darkseid alone in Final Crisis; I seriously don’t think he gets up in the morning and worries about whether he’s going to have to take one the entire Royal Flush Gang by his lonesome. Sure, Batman probably doesn’t mind having the rest of the Justice League pop up to help, but I feel reasonably certain Bats could have handled the situation if they didn’t.
