I don't know what it is about New 52 Batman, but I just don't think anybody has really gotten it right yet. In the main Batman title, I find Scott Snyder comes up with great ideas to inject Batman into, but doesn't execute very well and really doesn't make Batman all that interesting of a character.Here, Tony Daniel actually makes an interesting Batman. When he's on the prowl, he's ruthless and intense (as opposed to Snyder's version of Batman, which is a bit of a wimp). Even better, Daniel actually makes Bruce Wayne interesting as well, giving him a social life outside of perpetual brooding. Sadly, Daniel doesn't create good enough scenarios for his characters. Dollmaker is forgettable, and the story with Penguin is plain dull.If only Daniel's Batman and Bruce could be injected into the scenarios created by Snyder. THEN maybe we'd finally have a good New 52 Batman comic.
I've read all the Batman books that dealt with the Joker storyline but this one was fiendishly left out of the big Joker "Death in a Family" volume. So I knew I had to go back one day and read just exactly how and under what circumstances the J. had his face removed. The whole Joker story is good and we keep meeting new psycho people who will end up patients at Arkham. When the Joker flees, the Batman has his hands full pretty quickly as he and his girlfriend attend a gala aboard Cobblepot's floating iceberg casino. With the Penguin up to no good, what else is new, he's got a crew of all-new super villains joining him and has a double-cross or thee to maybe make-up some time.
Great artwork, decent plot, will be looking forward to vol.2.
this vol. is kinda' all over the place but keep reading.
