Batman #569

This is another self contained story, that focuses on Batwoman (Cassandra Cain), who received a mission from Batman to secure a gas station so they can get the last drops of fuel there in order to make the hospitals generator run for another weeks - the writer, Janet Harvey, did a great characterization of Batwoman, of her fears of losing control and becoming a killer like her father, of how she never wants to let Batman down, she´s still proving herself to him, so this aproach on the character was very good - also the writer did a pretty good job in the dialogues, building up the relationship between the gas station owner (Sanchez) with Cassandra and how his endless talking would serve for a purpose after all, this was a very human aproach of the characters, focusing on the real problems that Gotham is facing - though I really liked the writing, the fact that this was just a single issue story, not showing a lot of Batman, I got to say that the best about this issue was definitely Sergio Cariello´s art (in fact, that was the reason why I bought this issue), he did great moves for Batwoman, threre´re good fights, good scenarios, faces, costumes, this was a very solid issue in the art department.
