Gotham City, the backdrop for a series of corruption and maniacs fond of sewing up the flesh of live victims. Batman has finally been able to escape the clutches of the Dollmaker and now has to unveil the truth behind Gordon’s abduction. There are certainly some storytelling convolutions throughout this latest issue and though they may be confusing they appear to be serving to mislead the reader until the greater narrative climax is reached. This said, the issue is very solid and brings out some of the darker qualities of previously innocent characters. It is impressive to see the story and our hero’s circumstances become so desperate within the first few issues and yet retain the ambition of greater challenges on the horizon. Something rotten is in Gotham City and it seems that Batman and his cohort Commissioner Gordon are the only one’s standing in the way of an ever growing corruption. Just another day in the life for the Caped Crusader.
