Batman: Gotham Nights II: #2


Gotham Nights II has gone from an examination into the lives of another group of Gothamites  into a full scale Batman-led investigation of criminal mischief at an amusement park. As ride after ride keeps falling into tragic disrepair, the Dark Knight searches for the saboteur.

  In turning this into a Batman featured story, the series has essentially lost its essence. The city and its people are supposed to be the stars of the story for once, NOT the Caped Crusader.

If this was told as a regular Batman or Detective Comics story, it would work just find. But, in this format, it’s an epic fail. Still, this art is fantastic and as I said, it is a good story. It just isn’t meant for this plot structure.

Rating 6 out of 10 stars.
