For some reason, our story about Zsasz and the child-abductions have been interrupted. At the end of last issue, it looked like Zsasz had some type of child 'fight-club' going on, but . . apparently we're switching channels this issue . . and next. This one appears to be a pretty straight-forward story. There's been a string of criminals getting killed lately across Gotham . . 6, so far. They all seem to be killed the same way, but . . there's no real connection between victims. Other than occupation. At first they consider a vigilante who's just taking things to far. But then the MO is broken. A plastic surgeon is killed. That's when Batman notices a connection between their women. It seems that they all frequent a club in Gotham that caters to it's elite, and privileged. Dick goes undercover to see what's going on inside, and requests the company of the woman he sees in a picture with the doctor. However, as they go back to her apartment, we have 2 suspects here. First they're confronted by an ex-boyfriend as they leave the club. Apparently he hasn't taken their break-up very well. Then, as she's entering her building, we see the door-man take an unusual interest in her. Plus, both men are about the right size . . the same size. Anyways, Dick goes up to her room with her. He figures this is someone who's trying to protect her. So . . now he just has to wait for them to make thier move. It was an interesting story by Mike Benson and Dustin Nguyen. I'm just wondering when we're going to get back to Zsasz' story. In the back-up, Kate Spencer is trying to take out Two-Face . . both as ManHunter and as the Gotham DA. But in order to do so, she's going to have to make a deal with Jane Doe. However, since they're in the same prison . . Harvey may be striking a deal of his own. I like this character. And I like the twist of putting her in the Gotham horizon. I think she makes a nice addition to the cast of vigilantes here. This story is brought to us by Marc Andreyko and Jeremy Haun. Overall I thought it was a good issue.
