Ed Brubaker, Greg Rucka, and Michael Lark embark on one of the most celebrated stories of one of Batman’s most famous villains, and it begins with bureaucracy. In a scene out of Homicide: Life on the Street or The Wire, the Mayor is cutting costs on overtime, blah blah blah, when suddenly…
Yeah, it’s on.
I just got finished posting on the “Half a Life” storyline and said it was one of the best Batman stories ever, and then we roll right into this one. Such a great series.
Dude finds out the sniper is The Joker and gets a little scared…
Another sequence that inspired a scene in Chris Nolan’s Batman movies. Joker in the box. But look how Rucka/Brubaker and artist Lark handle the actual interrogation. Watch the phone book. Genius.
