Nightwing #16

nightwing4's Nightwing #16 - Curtain Call review

Gritty, Grimy, Grotesque, and Awesome

Higgins proves he can keep up with Snyder when writing the Joker at his most horrific. A good dose of action combined with a glimpse of Joker's psyche, this issue finalizes the preparation for the epic finale in Batman #17.

The Good:

Not since Night of the Owls have we seen an issue in which Dick's world is so affected. Joker knows how to hit where it hurts, (just ask Jason) and he does! Joker's conversations with Dick never lose their intrigue.

The Bad:

I feel that this issue, instead of building on previous ones, makes them seem unimportant. But all in all I'd say that just adds to the shock factor.

Conclusion:

I can't wait to see where Higgins takes this series next! As intense as Batman #17 will certainly be, it will be a difficult task to tear down Dick and all he's worked for than this issue has.

I found the whole setup rather boring because Joker uses innocents against heroes all the tim...

This has overall been a very good series, and one of my favorite out of the Bat titles. Kyle Higgins has really done a terrific job, and although the series hasn't always been brilliant, it has been fun.PlotThis issue sees Nightwing rush to Haly's Circus where he finds Joker, and dug up former members of Haly's Circus.ReviewThis was a very good issue, and Higgins did a great job. Although this issue was very fast paced, it was still very good, and written brilliantly. For a two part story, Higgi...
