Blurry photo of a man in a (partial?) Batman costume, on a wet Glasgow street – probably taken during the filming of the 2022 movie THE BATMAN, where Glasgow was a stand-in for Gotham City. Text: She’s turned the Waynes against us… She’s turned the Waynes against us

Five panels from Batman: Scottish Connection (1998), by Alan Grant & Frank Quitely. The different-sized panels tumble down the page to suggest frantic action. The action is set on a narrow road in the Scottish highlands, between a sheer cliff-face and a stone wall. On the other side of the wall is a steep drop into a rocky river, far below. Panel 1: a black Rolls-Royce, numberplate BW 2, drives up onto the verge to pass a dumpy blue VW camper van coming the other way. Another orange car is pursuing the Rolls-Royce. Panel 2: we cut to see the driver of the camper van – a balding, moustachio'd man, with ginger hair, looking over his shoulder in anger and disgust at the reckless driving of the Rolls-Royce, which is speeding away. There are shocked children in the back of the van. Beside the driver, his wife – a robust lady – clings to the dashboard and looks forward, her mouth open in alarm. Panel 3: The camper van – numberplate G73 DDW – is very nearly struck by the onrushing orange car. Panel 4: The orange car, swerving, crashes through the dry-stone wall and plunges downwards. Panel 5: The Rolls-Royce has pulled over. A man with very broad shoulders is leaning over the wall, looking down on the orange car which lies upside down on the stony riverbank below. We can see the driver of the Rolls-Royce, who speaks: "Do be careful, sir!" In the background the tail end of the blue camper van can still be seen, safely on the road and, apparently, none the worse for wear.

Detective Comics Starring Batman and Robin in "The Lord of Batmanor" Also – a new mystery featuring Pow-Wow Smith, Indian Lawman A drawbridge leads towards a castle gateway with a raised portcullis. A line of bagpipers wearing a vague approximation of Highland dress line the drawbridge, wearing kilts in a yellow tartan with a red and green pattern. Robin is marching along the drawbridge, playing the bagpipes. He, too, is wearing a kilt, although he's kept his red-and-green top and yellow cape. Overhead, Batman swings in on a rope, waving and smiling. Like Robin he has maintained his costume from the waist up but he's also wearing a kilt in the same tartan. Everyone is accessorised with a big furry sporran. Everyone's kilts are much too short.
