JETT REMEMBERS BATMAN IN 1994
Like I said in the 1992 retrospective, I have all the comics listed here! I thought “Knightquest” and “Knightsend” were OK at best and the latter was rather anti-climatic. “Prodigal” ended up being a pretty good story overall. And I really liked those old “Elseworlds” tales — like to see DC do some more of those today.
