    The Bat and The Roadrunner

    Issue #877 finds Dick Grayson as Batman tangling with the new crime lords of Gotham City! Find the rest of the review at sequentialreview.com! 
     
    Batman (Dick Grayson) continues his investigation of the killer whale that was left as a calling card in a Gotham City bank's lobby. Inside the whale was the body of the bank owner's friend. The bank owner - Sonia Zucco, who is Tony Zucco's daughter! The same man who killed Dick Grayson's parents years ago. Now as Batman faces off against a new gun smuggler called The Roadrunner, he starts to get a taste for the new criminal element that is filling Gotham on his beat as Batman. When the leads to the perpetrator of the whale incident send him offshore, Batman finds himself up against something a whole lot bigger than a killer whale.

    Written by Scott Snyder and drawn by Jock, this issue of Detective Comics gives us another interesting take on Grayson's ascension to Batman. The more Grayson dons the cowl . . .

Too many times we see a generic Batman in comics and e...

      Dick faces off with the Roadrunner (yup, that's his name) & has a heart to heart with Sonia Branch The GoodJOCK turns in another superb cover. It's simple but effective and very reflective of what's to come in this issue. And very fortunately for us that's not Ryan Reynolds wearing bad CGI effects. Snyder has managed the art of writing Dick Grayson, especially his inner voice. Dick's monologue this issue was very interesting and dealt with something I've often thought about over the years. W...
