    The (S)laughter of Fools


    This "Imposters" story is actually turning out to be quite good. David Hine's writing is still very good and he is able to make it seem like the situation is getting out of hand and the poop is hitting the fan. Scott McDaniel's art has improved since last issue, and while I liked his art last month, this is a definite improvement. His characters have good detail and overall its just much sharper and more refined. The colour job is also very well done this month. The story is pretty damn good this month and as I said before the imposters story is getting good. I won't spoil anything, but the plot advances in some good ways.  Overall this is a pretty good issue that Batman fans should check out, especially if you read the last issue.

It fuses elements of Batman Beyond and The Dark Knight Returns, and it's just fantastic. The cover is REALLY dark and pretty awesome. Batman trying out Joker Juice in the ...

      The emergence of the Jokerz erupts a full-blown "impostor war" between armies of weekend warriors imitating Batman and the Joker.  The Good   McDaniel, Owens and Major collaborative effort on this title reminds of just how much fun comics art can be in itself. The linework, the texture, the colors, the storytelling... it all this so much more exciting and involving. I just love the way they render everything. Even though their version of Gotham City's highly removed from reality, it still feels ...
