Another great issue from one of my favorite books of the year. I absolutely adore the way the characters are written here. I appreciate that you can tell the effort Bruce and Dick are both putting in to prove that with Bruce and Alfred is the right place for Dick.

NAH THAT CHILD SERVICE WHATEVER LADY IS ANNOYING

THAT IS *NOT* HOW YOU TREAT A CHILD.

Arrest the father with whatever garbage proof you have, sure. I get it. You gotta investigate.

but that does NOT mean you ARREST SAID FATHER INFRONT OF HIS SON—ADOPTIVE OR NOT.

The way Richard screamed for Bruce :((((

Wow, all I can say for certain is that clayface and two-face are MUCH more effective than Grimaldi ever was! Give them a few weeks and their Hugo strange look alike scientist has already devised a formula to turn any of their men into clay face clones, with the abilities to replace everyone and anyone. Every high ranking mob boss, politician, cop has been taken and replaced over the last few weeks with clay men! And all under the radar of batman. He only realized it was happening once he was in the middle of their trap they setup with the Gordon they replaced. And still batman only realized it when he saw his hand melting on the bat signal. In order to escape all the cops surrounding them on the roof, who can even tell who is clay or not, batman sent down a smoke pellet that encapsulated the entire area and then he was able to use some of the acrobatic skills Robin has been teaching him to get off the roof and get them down to the Batmobile. But clayface has eyes and ears all over the city and even though batman is able to escape the cop cars…he can’t escape the police copters. Which also have missiles! Although the Batmobile went down in a burning mess of wreckage, batman and Robin were able to slip out with the ejector doors and slip into the sewers back to the bar cave. But even with all their enemies replaced and batman possibly dead, the dynamic duo of crime aren’t done yet…and now two face and clayface are ready to enact a plan that will make them super rich.

As the issue comes to an end Alfred is relieved to see batman and Robin home safely. Only to receive a knock at the main door. With the smell from the sewers they are not fit to receive guests so Alfred heads up to take a look. Meanwhile, Batman pulls out a clay finger he pocketed in the fight. It’s not the same as the sample from clayface, it’s more malleable and less stable. As if there is a shorter expiration date.s But when Alfred calls for them to come up immediately, the pair quickly put themselves together…only to find the CPS agent, Ms. Lyn, and a few cops. She announces that they are here to take Dick to a proper home. Dick immediately starts to lash out but Bruce calms him down and mentions that there must be a misunderstanding. That is when Ms Lyn holds up the newspaper from today, implicating Bruce and a bunch of other billionaires in stock fraud! The police are here for Bruce and because Dick refuses to leave without fighting back he is also placed in cuffs. Is this the big plan from clayface and two-face to make them rich?! What’s happening, this can’t be happening. The distraught moon from Alfred’s face as he stands in the door is enough to break anyone. NO!

Lemme tell you this run has been top notch the entire time. Every issue has me on the edge of my seat and wanting more. I love this story and the way the dynamic between Dick and Bruce has evolved over the story. I also love Bruce putting a seatbelt on Dick and learning acrobatic lingo. Like that’s precious! And Dick calling for Bruce and fighting so hard to stay with him??! It’s just SO good.

chau la forma en cómo Dick grita por Bruce porque no quiere que se lo lleven carajo yo me quedé impactada 😭😭😭 me encanta como alfred y bruce hacen literalmente todo lo posible para que la asistente social no diga nada y lo deje vivir con ellos, pero con todo lo de Clay y Two face really…

Waid is killing it. Having this and Dark Patterns running at the same time is brilliant.
