First Appearance: Batman #92 (July 1955) You may have guessed by now that I'm not the world's biggest fan of super powered pets. Hairball, Beppo the Super Monkey... both were pretty lame but in my eyes, Ace the Bat-Hound rises near the top of the crap list like gone off cream. I know Batman has family issues but does he get turned on by having as many sidekicks as physically possible? Batgirl, Catwoman, Huntress, Robin, Robin II, Robin III, IV, V, VI... Seems like it should be enough right? Wrong. Ace the Bat-Hound first wore a hood to hide a mark that could have given away Bruce Wayne's identity... somehow, but ended up assisting Batman and Robin on many cases throughout the 1960's. While Ace doesn't possess super powers like the Legion of Super-Pets, he does possess the agility, stamina and heightened senses of an average dog. Pretty useful right? Oh and he could also smell butts. I tell you now, if they don't put Ace in the upcoming Batman vs. Superman film, I'm going to be pretty cheesed off.
