Batman - Legend of the Dark Knight #214 - DC


This is the last issue of this series. Which is a shame. But, I guess with Batman : Confidential out there, there really is no need for this one. This, and BC, are basically the same concept. They can pull stories out of anywhere in Batman's long history. Don't have to worry about continuity. It's . . . like . . . retroactive. Basically, they tell you where the story fits into the continuity. Cool concept. Anyways, this one is about Deadshot. The police have a stoolie on ice, ready to testify against a mob boss. But, when he finds out that there's a contract on him, and Deadshot is the shooter, well . . . he's thinking twice about it now. So Batman has to figure out a way to get Deadshot to drop the contract, in a way that it's his decision, and the rat knows about it. He pulls it off, but I wasn't sure until I saw it happen. Anyways, it's written by Cristos N. Gage, and drawn by Phil Winslade. The story is good, and the art is even better. Anymore it seems like the last issue of a series is worth almost as much as the first, because the lower the print run, and not as many people buy it. Just food for thought there. But it is a nice book, and you should pick it up if your in to the Batman. You won't be sorry.
