“Better than Batman” part two! Nightwing and his new mentor Raptor embark on their first assignment for the Parliament of Owls. Will Raptor prove himself a superior mentor for Nightwing? Or will they both fall prey to the fangs of Kobra?
I really hope that this issue ups the stakes because Nightwing swinging around and whispering to people that "The Owls Are Watching" doesn't seem like a big leap from superhero to villain in my book...... just really, a weirdo messenger. Also, I hope to find out what the hell is up with Raptor's gauntlet because I was completely lost on that front.
...Umm, bullshit. Batman in the uber dark universe of Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy once dropped a guy off a building and was so torn up by what he'd done that he almost turned himself in. No way comic Batman does that and rationalizes it away.
ReplyDeleteBatman has himself some inner turmoil because by this point in his career he would have been trying to promote hope instead of fear according to Snyder's Batman #44
