Batman Series 2 - known to bubblegum trading card collectors as Batman Puzzle A or Red Bats, has a total of 44 cards in the set. Similar to the Series 1 set, these cards are beautiful hand-painted images, with the noticible difference of red pinstriping around the border and a red bat caption. The verso features a short storyline that follows the front illustration, plus a puzzle segment drawn in comicbook fashion.
