Batman’s identified to be a grasp planner, ready for each contingency. But generally, somebody manages to outsmart the Dark Knight—for instance, somebody who has the information to search out Batman’s secret safehouse scattered by Gotham City, and the power to steal the tech inside regardless of what have to be some extraordinarily formidable defenses. That’s the dilemma Batman faces within the latest situation of the Batman: Wayne Family Adventures webtoon. Also, somebody takes a dump.

I gained’t spoil who’s breaking into these safehouses, nor will I spoil the identification of the particular person utilizing the Caped Crusader’s commode. I’ll, nevertheless, say the webcomic (issue #4, “Alert”) ends with an irritated Batman choosing up his devices off the ground like a dad choosing up the toys his five-year-old has scattered round the lounge, as a result of it’s an ideal instance of why Wayne Family Adventures is a lot enjoyable. Safehouses apart, the webtoon isn’t specializing in crimefighting, simply foolish vignettes about an prolonged household after they’re not carrying Spandex and punching dangerous guys. I nonetheless can’t recover from “The Last Cookie,” by which Jason Todd, Tim Drake, Cassandra Cain, Duke Thomas, and Damian Wayne battled for considered one of Alfred’s cookies.

Since debuting on September 8, Wayne Family Adventures has racked up extra 500,000 subscribers, which as Comic Book Resources notes is a quantity far surpassing the full variety of Batman comics offered in comedian outlets this previous July. However, that quantity doesn’t embrace gross sales in mainstream places like bookstores, or digital gross sales of those comics—nor does it bear in mind that the webtoon is, like all the opposite comics on its platform, free to learn, whereas the opposite Batman comics very a lot aren’t.

Still, 500,000+ readers in 10 days is not any imply feat, and a testomony to how gratifying author CRC Payne and artist Rhett Bloom’s (a.okay.a. StarBite) tackle the Wayne household has already been. If you haven’t checked it out but, you possibly can learn Batman: Wayne Family Adventures here—and uncover the surprising identification of the one that made unauthorized use of Batman’s rest room.
