Batman Plus (DC Comics) (One-Shot, 1997) [COMICS]

Batman Plus was a one-shot that I'm guessing might have been part of a DC event where major characters teamed up with another, lesser-known character.  Either way, the issue has Batman teaming up with Arsenal (formerly known as Speedy, Green Arrow's kid sidekick).  I have to admit to a lot of initial scepticism about the comic, but it ended up being genuinely good!  It starts in Bludhaven, with Arsenal asking Nightwing's help in rescuing his baby mama (I know, I know, but it's a useful term!) Jade/Chesire, who has been kidnapped by the KGBeast.  Instead of Nightwing, Batman gets involved as the trail leads to Europe and also intersects with the spy organization Checkmate.  The artwork is excellent, Arsenal has a really fun personality that mixes well with the super-serious Batman, and I would have happily read more.  One-shots like this tend to become forgotten pretty quickly, as they don't show up in collections of main series books or big universe-altering crossovers, but that doesn't mean they're not worth reading.
