It's going very good.
Plot
Our hommies come up with a plan to stop Eddie,and try to apply it.Some stuff go good ,some don't.The Jimmy,Brucy,Lucious adventure continues.
Thoughts
The writing continues to be stunning and not lazy,as it seemed sometimes in previous installements of the Zero Year arc
Savage City is,by far ,the best part of the arc,and the essense of Batman.Why he became what he became,what made him that brutting beast,and what changed Bruce Wayne's look on the world.How his city changed.Became uncontrolable,subservient,and lost.
Nigma presents himself in a weird way.You know he's a dangerous villian,a very smart person,and a threat to everyone.He controls everything.
But you can't ignore the thought that if Bruce was fully Batman,right now,this whole situation would be a piece o' cake.....
But Eddie is still a newbie,as is Bruce,so it's more than fair,what's happening.
Gordon tries to do some wierd tech stuff behind Eddie's back(sorry,been a while since i read the issue) ,while Master Wayne tries to keep Eddie occupied,with some banter.It's interesting that Nigma tries to guess who Batman is,and he describes an old soldier,with frustration towards the world,and everything,on which Bruce replies "not by a long shot" but Nigma is SO sure that he's right,he calls him a liar.I am 100% sure that scene will be paid off at some point.
Nigma throws Batman at some lions,and of course,he beats the living shit out of these lions,because he's the motherfreaking Batman.
That sentence was pure fanboism.
Gordon has done it with the tech stuff(so they gain control of some Nigma's tech) and he's with Bruce.
Then he(Eddie) throws a pile of cars on him and Gordon,and the issue ends.
WILL THEY SURVIVE AN ORIGIN STORY?!!!!!!!!!!! (he saifd sarcastically)
Interestingly enough there are some flashbacks,how one of Bruce's teachers asked him a question,and Bruce kept telling him to,eventually,fuck off,but he insisted on Bruce answering.
The pre-Batman got blurry and was seing his classmated with blood lushing throught their eyes and everything,and the last page of the issue is on the teacher's yard,a flaming zero ( 0 ).Teacher said to the cops that it was the answer to a question he made to one of his students today...........
That kinda left me in awe.
Art is more awesome every issue.Capullo is the best thing happen to DC in the last 10 years.
PURPLE GLOVES FOREVER!!!!!!
