Shakedown

Emerging from the fertile Bronze Age DC Universe in 1985, Shakedown made their debut in Batman and the Outsiders Annual #2 under the creative hands of Mike W. Barr and David Ross — a title already crackling with energy and ambition. Over a span stretching into the late '90s, this character crossed paths with a compelling roster including Manhunter, Coldsnap, Heatstroke, and Starman, turning up across both Batman and the Outsiders Annual and the celebrated Starman series. Rare appearances can make a character feel all the more intriguing, and Shakedown is exactly the kind of deep-catalog discovery that reminds collectors just how richly populated the DC Bronze Age truly was.
