This miniseries has been a who's who of Batman characters. But one heavy hitter has been noticeably absent until now- the clown prince of crime: The Joker! With criminals disappearing left and right by refusing alliance with Tobias Whale, the Joker sees the writing on the wall and has punched his ticket out of Gotham. But before he leaves, he decides to enjoy one last meal at Penguin's Iceberg Lounge.
While the Joker dines, another ally of Batman's has gone undercover. This time, Nightwing has donned a suit and enlisted as one of Penguin's goons. But the Riddler has seen through this disguise and threatens to unmask him, unless Nightwing teams up with him to solve the mystery of the missing villains.
Lots is going on in this issue along with Batman in disguise as Matches Malone fighting for his life against Mr. Zsasz in Blackgate Penitentiary. All three issues have been excellent, but this one just has so much action, great dialogue, and villains, villains, and more villains that it's my favorite thus far.
Worth Consuming.
Rating: 10 out of 10 stars.
