Somewhat better than the previous few issues. Maybe it’s the promise of a new story or the allure and attention Batman inspires. I am not sure what the confessional panels are about. I hope it isn’t more distracting sidecar noise like the previous couple volumes were filled with.
Priest writes Batman as a Doberman barking up to a wolf in Deathstroke.
Sounds interesting. I would like to see how Batman handles himself against someone he needs to kill to neutralize. Someone who is faster, stronger, and smarter than him. I'm in for the ride.
