Batman Strikes #46 - DC


This one was a nice love story for the kids. What? From the cover, you thought that Killer Croc and Batman were going to be fighting all issue? Actually Croc, or Waylon Jones, is in love with a certain cute news reporter. It seems that while watching Meredith do the news, and report on him, he fell in love with her because of the way she still treated him like a human being. "You're not like the others. You never call me a monster. You never call me a freak. You don't make jokes about how my hide would look good with a matching purse or shoes." So he goes on a crime spree to gather the armaments for a proper courtship. But in the end it's not Batman that brings Waylon's spree to an end, but rather the soft smile and flowing hair of a certain blond reporter. "The man's in love, Batman . . . and nothing in your utility belt can overcome that." It was a nice book and had a sweet story.
