Batman #685 - DC


Well, Thomas Elliott is back in custody. Sort of. Actually, Dick and Tim have captured him. He was running around posing as Bruce when he started to attract some attention. So, trying to lay low, he went into Vietnam to try to hide and ran smack into Catwoman. Which is perfect because you know that she has absolutely no mercy for him. Anyways, long story short, Catwoman is trying to break up this animal poaching ring. So now that Hush, "Bruce Wayne", is there she wants to fake his escape and in the confusion she'll release the animals and torch the camp. The 2 Vietnamese men that she turns them over to, for aide in his escape, end up being none other than Dick and Tim. But now . . what are they going to do with the guy? "The fact that you can now pass for Bruce makes you a bigger threat than before. Putting you in jail or Arkham would jeopardize everything Batman has built. And you definitely can't run free, so . . . you're in a private penthouse at the top of Wayne Tower. Only Tim, Alfred and myself have access. Your every movement is recorded and relayed to the Batcave computer." They say he can't escape, but . . you know sooner or later he's going to. And Hush seems to be a pretty patient man. I think he can wait around for a while. This issue was brought to us by Paul Dini and Dustin Nguyen. Overall I thought it was a pretty good issue. From the cover I was afraid they were going to show us how Catwoman had decided to be all evil and everything again. I think she's going to maintain her criminal reputation, but . . she has a different 'work ethic' than some of the other Faces of Evil. It'll be interesting to see what the future holds for her.
