Thom Young and Dave Wallace Comic Reviews

Dave Wallace: I agree. After reading this issue, Morrison's latest arc is beginning to make even more sense, and the grand mystery that he has been weaving since his first issue on the book is beginning to look even more cohesive and well-planned. I look forward to seeing it all come together.

However, in most cases we are given only one panel from a story that only a few readers are likely to be able to identify easily--such as the four flashback panels on the double-page spread on pages 2 and 3, which show (in order) a panel from Batman #244, Batman #251, Batman #255, and a panel that Im guessing is from the Son of the Demon graphic novel from 1987 . . . one that shows Bruce having sex with Talia al Ghul (and, supposedly then, the event of Damians conception.

Thom Young: Well, I don't think there is any confusion surrounding the Article 125 stuff. I just think the contradictions in Kate Kane's backstory could have easily been corrected without Rucka substantially changing anything about the character.
