Talk about biting the hand that feeds you. Gotham’s newest villain, the Invisible Man, strikes at his benefactor, Black Mask. In a race against time (in an M. Night Shyamalan twist), it is up to the Dark Knight to save one of Gotham’s most ruthless crime lord’s.
I liked the action in this story. But the detective work was sloppy. The clue that Batman uncovers to discover who is behind a thug’s gruesome murder is just a little too convenient. The victim just happens to be in an abandoned costume shop when he was attacked. (OK- I get it, symbolism.) But that out of all the masks in the store, he happens to grab the Claude Raines Invisible Man mask? Not only that, the victim manages hold on to it as he plunges through a window into Gotham Harbor below and then dies from drowning?! Nope, I cry foul on this one.
An otherwise sad blemish on a pretty decent issue.
Worth Consuming
