Issue 3: Predictable with a weird twist
Just read Issue 3 and art was pretty good but we all knew that Nemesis would not be contained. There is a weird part where the chief has to confront his family secrets and Nemesis makes him pay for it. While trying to be more in the real world and what they would do to one another; In reality someone would have just killed this guy. He does something that is very twisted and makes you just not enjoy the character at all unless you are f'd up... I am but still, it is pretty bad and shocking. The book goes over the top just for the sake of going over the top. This stuff has been done before and honestly better and more compelling in "The Dark Knight" Batman movie from a few years ago. The original pitch was what if Batman were evil like the Joker... what we really get is just a Joker that can fight. Nothing more, nothing less. Still entertaining till the twist which the more issues this goes along, the harder it is to comprehend how he gets away with it. Millar tries to add a sense of reality but having the world's most dangerous criminal mastermind being watched by 4 guards and then being able to take out close to 100 is extreme, even for "Batman". I sort of just want it to book to end next issue, which I am not sure how long it is supposed to last. One trick pony, but that pony is having sex with a retarded man dressed like Spongebob Squarepants.
