Review: Batman '89: Echoes #6

Issue 6 is when this series goes off the rails. It is revealed that the enigmatic Kashif character is actually Ra's al Ghul, and he is given a Lazarus serum that brings him back to health and de-ages him by 40 years, bringing the supernatural into the world of Batman '89. Also Harley Quinn takes center stage with her bizarre and over the top desires to be a TV celebrity.  Selena Kyle, who was one of her patients, reveals herself as Catwoman and offers to train Harley how to be a real criminal. And finally Barbara Gordon reluctantly dons a Batgirl costume to help Drake to rescue Batman. Crane is apprehended, Harley is still loose and plans to murder Crane in his cell, and Maynard the factitious Riddler is completely forgotten about.  A very poor ending by writer Sam Hamm to the series. The art by Joe Quinones and Stacy Lee is top notch however.  This disappointing final issue earns a C-.
