Tragedy in Mite World, June 22, 2005
This review is from: Batman: Mitefall (Comic)
Bob Overdog is a petty villain locked up in Arkham Asylum. When Bane attacks and blows up the Asylum, Bob manages to escape. While on the lam he meets Bat Mite who turns to him for help. His home dimension is being taken over by Bane Mite and he needs a hero. Bob becomes that hero.
Action moves to Bat Mite's world and we see how Bane Mite is taking over. But while Bob manages to overcome Bane Mite and save an entire dimension, in our home dimension he dies without anyone knowing he had reformed and become a hero.
To really appreciate this story you have to be able to tolerate Bat Mite and have a knowledge of the Knightfall sequence in Batman. The parallels are well done and the story manages to not be too cute. It is actually quite dark. Bob's position as the unknown hero is a classic in literature and is handled very well in this tale.
