    About this ebook

    Bruce Wayne is in the rainforests of Brazil in this comics and chapter book hybrid, but there’s trouble in the local villages - people are disappearing! Corporate developers are tearing down the forest, and a legend tells of a giant bat creature that will defend the plant life from those who would destroy it. Batman takes up the case, and he soon finds out the strange goings-on are more than just folklore – it’s Man-Bat and Posion Ivy!

      The earth shook violently as the enormous metal monster closed in. It was 100m away, 50, 20 … then it was on me. As I watched its giant steel tentacle, with its whirling, screaming blade, stretch down towards me, I was conscious less of the fear of a

      The new set of chapter books from Capstone have in-depth stories and I'm very pleased with these. Bruce is in Brazil for an economic environment conference and who should be there causing trouble but Poison Ivy. Plus she's got Man-Bat under her control as well! There's more story than action, but these three characters take centre stage throughout the whole book so there's plenty of costumed capers. I liked the environmental story for the most part as it's message was not extremist but rather showed how Poison Ivy herself took her beliefs beyond radical preferring to erase humans to protect the plants. Bruce Wayne's end solution was more politically correct than economically sound but otherwise an entirely enjoyable escapade. Poison Ivy is one of my favourite villains!

    CHAPTER 1

    DISAPPEARING

    Bruce Wayne hated these types of meetings. Whenever rich businessmen got together, all they did was brag about the money they made and the power they had. The endless posturing made it hard to talk about anything that was actually important.

    At least this time the scenery was beautiful. The World Congress of Economic Leaders was gathered in a large auditorium in the middle of the rainforest region of Brazil. Their meeting was supposed to be about environmental protections.

    But as usual, the meeting had turned into a bragging game, which meant they likely wouldn’t make any deals to better the world — just to better their own personal incomes and stock portfolios.

    An oil executive took to the podium. He boasted about the success he’d had — fast cars, a large mansion, and expensive clothes.

    Bruce sighed. Where was the discussion of bettering the world? he wondered.

    Are you as bored as I am, Ms. Pantozzi? Bruce asked the businesswoman sitting next to him.

    She smiled. You know it, Bruce, she said. Somehow I don’t think we’re going to save the world today.

    Bruce smiled back. No, he said. That’s later in the week. That is, if we can get them to listen to anything we have to say.

    Bruce had asked Ms. Pantozzi to accompany him on this trip because she was the executive in charge of environmental protections for Wayne Enterprises. No one at Wayne Enterprises knew more about saving the planet than Ms. Pantozzi did.

    Together, Bruce and Ms. Pantozzi had developed a plan that would help preserve the rainforest. It was detailed and budgeted efficiently and entirely reasonable. They’d worked long and hard to get every detail right.

    They were supposed to present the plan to the group at the end of the conference, two days from now. Bruce was hopeful that his colleagues and friends at the conference would join with them in the plan. With their support, the conservation program would be a big success.

    Bruce had his doubts they’d take an interest, though.
