The Batman (sic)

This set of 55 cards manages to squeeze in all the characters you know and then some - The Joker, Cat Woman (sic), The Penguin, The Riddler, Professor Thinker? [He's the inventor of the twin laser beam shooting assassin robot], Dr. Hypno? [He has an hallucinogenic gas that causes people to see monsters], A mad scientist? (poor schmuck doesn't even get a name) [He releases some giant birds as a cover for his bank robberies], The Baffler? [A Riddler wannabe that has this truly baffling exchange with Batman].


It also features this bizzare encounter with The Penguin. Batman fights him with an umbrella. WTF, why, was it raining? Link…
