I can understand why Kevin Smith is so successful at writing screenplays, and directing movies . . he's a fantastic story-teller. I thought this book was another Joker story. That's not him on the cover, but . . it does kind of look like him. Anyways, I'm not sure what this book is all about yet, but . . we do have a few things coming in to play. First of all, the guy in the goat mask is back this issue. He kind of looks like Set, or Anubis. Actually . . I just noticed that the story is called Falconer. So maybe that's his name. I think I'm just going to stick with goat-man for now though. Anyways, Batman is chasing a child abductor through an amusement park, but when he uses the child as bait . . of course Batman has to save the innocent. But while he's swimming back to shore . . the goat-man apprehends the culprit. But he doesn't stick around long enough for anyone to ask him who he is or what he wants. Secondly, Silver St Cloud is back in town. After her husband's death, the Senator, she felt kind of lost. She doesn't want to do anything to harm the Senator's reputation, but at the same time . . she knows she just not being herself. So . . she goes to see Bruce. Just the sight of her makes him feel like a kid back in college again. The problem is, whenever she's around Bruce seems to lose his focus. As Batman . . that's a dangerous thing to do. Anyways, then we have Cornelius Stirk. He's a low-level telepath, and . . a cannibal.
Batman catches him doing a few of his favorite things . . torturing a guy, and eating a human heart. However in trying to apprehend him Batman sees goat-man and lets his guard down. The issue ends with him cold-cocked on the floor and Stirk standing over him with a bloody ax. At first . . last issue . . I wasn't sure about Walter Flanagan's art. But after reading this issue . . I like it. It's not overly flashy, but it's got a neat kind of feel to it. Also we got some beautiful covers by Bill Sienkiewicz and Gene Ha. I think it's a neat book. Like I said, I love Kevin's work. He does a great job with the Batman stories, and it looks like this one's going to be another winner.
