darkdetective27's Batman Confidential #7 - Lovers & Madmen Part One: It's Funny review

    This series soars to new heights

    I really enjoyed the series and saw the potential in the series. Rules of Engagement was a really good story, but Lovers and Madmen looks like it will be even better. Bruce has been Batman for 42 weeks and crime has steadily declined to where the streets are much safer. He has figured out how the criminals work and has worked out a formula for beating them. Crime has become predictable and now Batman looks like he can finally be at ease. That is until a new criminal emerges and is completely unpredictable. This villain is Jack and Im guessing you know who Im talking about. He seems to have a slightly different origin like he should. It looks to be setting these characters as the opposites they truly are. I cant wait to see where this goes. It looks like another great origin for the Joker and another great story for Batman.

      A fun new origin story. 0

      This one is much deeper & rather than having some unknown mystery person with little background becoming the Joker with a personality that seemed to suddenly spring from his chemical-induced madness, we see a man who already bares traits of the Joker's essential personality traits. The last page is also quite funny.I never did like the Jack Napier (Jackenape) or Joseph Kerr (Joker) names...too campy, & Edward Nigma (enigma) is pretty bad too.The most notable change is that this is also a...
