Same Taste, More Filler
Ray Fawkes and Dustin Nguyen are back for another scary trip through Arkham Asylum featuring Batwing and Jim Corrigan. I have enjoyed Fawkes supernatural take in this book and I love Batwing, so why didn't I like this issue? There are actually quite a few reasons.
This issue's main reason for existing seems to be to tell the origin of Deacon Blackfire. An evil priest taking advantage of the needy for his own demonic needs sounds interesting if not a bit generic, but then Batman shows up. "Shows up" may be misleading, but believe me when I say it is totally out of character for him to be in the position we find him in. His presence ruined the origin story, in my opinion.
