too many characters
2 May 2021
The Scooby gang passes Batman's test and gets invited into the Mystery Analysts of Gotham. There's a new case at Gotham Chemical Storage. Batman lets the kids take the lead. It turns out to be connected to Batman's only unsolved case.

There are a few too many heroes. Honestly, I'm fine with just Aquaman and the Question. Maybe they're trying to get an ongoing team up situation. Apparently, there was one in the comics. All I know is that the movie needs fewer heroes. With all the heroes and villains coming in and out, this feels more like a best-of-clip-show episode of a long running TV series. I do like Aquaman's pathetic neediness and his relationship with the Question. I don't like Martian Manhunter. I do like this old style Batman and his relationship with the kids. I like the campy silly tone. I'm trying to remember if Scooby ever intentionally drove the Mystery Machine before this. I don't like overwhelming the mystery with so many characters. I like the silly.
