Dec 30, 2006This issue of Detective Comics epitomizes the quality of storytelling I expect from Paul Dini. "Double-Talk" keeps to the title genre. It allows Batman to be a super-hero, and upends conventions making a pleasurable page-turner. Kramer, Faucher and Kalisz make "Double-Talk" a visually athletic escapade and as well detail the subtle moments expressed by a puzzle-solver extraordinaire. Read Full Review

Aug 22, 2008The effectiveness of Dinis script carries over into the visualization by penciller Don Kramer (with inks by Wayne Faucher). Kramer creates a nice mix of large, medium, and small panels, and the page design offers a nice rhythm for a crime tale, accentuating the mood of suspense. The content within the panels creates shifting levels of drama in terms of intensity. As this is a mystery tale, one that focuses on secret and lies and hidden identities, Kramer and Faucher make excellent use of shadows, while Kramer, like a cinematographer, makes our point of view active and restless, which keeps up the tension.

Dec 29, 2006This is a great issue and a great chapter in Paul Dinis arc of one-shots. I am a fan of the new Ventriloquist, and I really hope they expand on her more in the future. What a great re-invention of a decent Batman villain. Read Full Review
