See No Evil | Beware the Gray Ghost

See No Evil | Beware the Gray Ghost

Author: The Pensky File October 2, 2018 Duration: 1:25:24
In See No Evil, Lloyd “Eddie” Ventrix is on the verge of losing his daughter, Kimberly, to his ex-wife, Helen, due to his past as a con artist. Determined not to lose Kimberly, Ventrix dons a suit, stolen from where he used to work while on parole, which grants the user invisibility but also becomes highly toxic, and poses as Kimberly’s imaginary friend, Mojo, while stealing jewelry for her. Batman must solve the mystery crimes and stop Ventrix, despite the fact that he cannot even see him.
In Beware the Gray Ghost, Simon Trent, an actor best known for his past role as “The Gray Ghost”, is on the verge of bankruptcy thanks to his declining career. To save himself, he sells off all of his Gray Ghost merchandise. Immediately afterward, a series of crimes related to the old show begin to occur. Batman, having himself been inspired partly by the show to become the crimefighter he now is, goes to Trent for help, and they team up to put an end to the crimes and also revive Trent’s career.
