I don’t generally have a problem diving into Bruce’s inner workings, and for the most part I think it works here. ![]() Simon Bowland does a good job placing them in a way that still allows the art to shine, and keeps readers following the narrative portion of the story clearly. ![]() ![]() This issue is full of text boxes exploring Batman’s thoughts. The issue really focuses in on what Batman’s doing, which is where I feel like it’s strongest. Here, we still have that framework of Gordon and an officer discussing the terrible night Batman’s having, but it takes a serious backseat to everything else going on, and I think the story works better for that. Issue #1 felt a little scattered, as it jumped between Batman’s investigation and the story being told to/by Gordon. After that, he dives back into mystery as Batman’s faced with the next Rogue in line to get their hands on this new toxin: The Riddler–or is it?Īlready in issue #2 I feel like I’m getting a better feeling for the story Robertson is trying to tell. ![]() Robertson slows down the narrative here to spend almost half of the issue on exploring Batman’s internal conflicts, and showcasing a conversation between Batman and Joker. Where the last issue felt very much like a detective story, that didn’t quite come together in some places for me, this one really settles into the feeling of this long night Batman is facing.
