is a comic book published by DC Comics & released on 5 / / 2007Plot Summary
In Gibraltar, Bruce Wayne walks away from a number of unconscious man-bats as he recieves a phone call. The call is from a female celebrity that wants to hook up with him the next day. Bruce Wayne para-glides on top of a mountain where Jezebel is waiting for him. As they ski down the mountain, a man in a small, one-person helicopter is following them. Bruce sees the sun shine of something the man is holding and throws one of his ski poles at the copter. The pole causes the copter to crash. It turns out the man was just a paparazzo. Bruce replies, "Oops." At dinner with Jezebel, she says he looks sad. Bruce says it's simply because he had a long weekend. She tells him that he can talk to her. Her father was assassinated so she knows what it's like to lose your parents. Bruce tells her he lost them a long time ago and that he "got over it." The look in his eyes suggest otherwise.
In Gotham, a pimp named DeShawn is talking with some shady police officers. There seems to be some problem with his girls not coming back after being with them. Batman arrives and takes out the officers. He wants to have a "word" with DeShawn. One of the girls tells Batman that the officers are monsters. Batman tells them to take him to where the missing girls last went. In an abandoned building he finds the remains of a few street girls. In one room, there one is still alive but she is barely coherent. Behind him, stands a huge man dressed in a version of his Bat-suit. This reminds him of the other cop that had dressed up as him and shot the Joker in the face. This causes him to think of the files in the black casebook. The apparent steroid enhanced individual chases Batman and grabs him by the cape. He throws him out of a window and follows after him. As Batman runs the different angles and clues in his head, he tries to stay conscious until, "KRAKT." The big man walks away as Batman is left unconscious on the ground with a huge footprint on his back.

I have been enjoying this run on Batman that Grant Morrison is writing. The stories have been excellent and this week's Batman is no different.
This is a typical story that shows how well his deductive skills are and what goes through his mind as he is investigating. But Grant Morrison really writes it well as you see both the cold type Batman that will get what he wants from the bad guys, but also you can see the compassionate side of Batman as he wants people to turn a new leaf.
Andy Kubert does an excellent job drawing this issue, maybe the reason I liked the art in this issue so much is because Kubert's Batman reminds me of Jim Lee's.
Nonetheless, and excellent issue overall. Good to pick up even if you haven't been following the Batman comics.
