This "Colossus" looks like he should be from Badger, but...

Since we saw a book from this duo earlier this week, let's wrap up with another Mike Baron/Bill Reinhold comic: from 2002, Legends of the Dark Knight #155, "Colossus, part two." Kind of wish I had part one handy, so I could recap the plot, but these things happen. Per the GCD, "Someone is killing everyone connected to the long-dead designer of the Gotham Civic Center." Fine. This ish, Batman drives down to the worst part of down, and beats down a ream of thugs before leaving them to "watch" the Batmobile. Then the Batmobile beats down the thugs that mess with it...
Reinhold sneaks a Badger logo on the first thug there, too. The Batmobile gets two pages to defend its honor, which is actually pretty entertaining. There's also an honorable villain for Batman to deal with--you know the type, one that takes the law into his own hands with the best of intentions and murder, and that has to die at the end of the story. Still a solid read...if I could find part one...
