    Batman Is A Great Detective

    THE GOOD:
    I really like the art. Tony Daniel is a really good artist and I think that when he draws someone or something, it looks different an important. The story is really good to me. I like how Batman is fighting these new villains while James Gordon is doing something as well. I also think that Olivia was a great edition to the story and had me wondering about who was who in the story. I also like how Batman is being a detective instead of a super-hero. I really like the ending and it gets me ready for the nest issue.
     
    THE BAD:
    I really can't complain about much.
     
    THE VERDICT: 4.5/5 (Amazing)
    I really like this series so far. It gives me what I want from a Batman story and then some. I like Batman because of his villains and his supporting cast as well as a detective side of him and we get that all here. I would highly recommend this series to anyone who likes Batman or James Gordon because it has them in it and it does that well.

      A Tony Daniel Arc That Falls Apart Quicker Than Normal 0

      The Good: The designs for Dollmaker and his cronies is pretty awesome. There's a good sense of variety in them, in both form and function.Olivia's becoming a REALLY intriguing character.The 'shock' ending of this issue balances out a lot of elements to be the best end of the 3 issues thus far. 1 was REALLY shocking, but gets weird when you think about it. 2 was shocking, but a little flat due to the repetition; and 1 and 2 both fell flat with the lack of repercussions. 3 is shocking enough, and ...
