The Tower
Part 10 of 12
The whole premise of this story is that the crazy patients of Arkham Tower have taken over and locked the outside world out so that it's mayhem inside. Okay, so why do new people keep showing up inside the tower? In the last issue it was Scarecrow. In this issue it's Harley Quinn. Batman even shows up in this issue, saving Nightwing when Scarecrow throws him out of the tower. Batman, in Batman, had left Gotham to solve a murder that involved Batman, Inc. and Lex Luthor. That's going on in the flagship title. He's not back in Gotham in the flagship title, which makes it weird that he was gone because of the story in Batman but now he's back even though he's not in Batman. There's no logic, idiots. I had earlier mentioned this book should fire its editor. That's not good if I have to mention it again. I just looked at the credits and this book has three editors; an editor, a group editor, and an associate editor. They're all to blame! I had kind of thought once the action heated up in this book it would become great like Die Hard...which is what this storyline is kind of like. But nope! The quality has kind of gotten worse. They still haven't explained how Scarecrow got in or why he's there. And the book opens with the Mayor of Gotham's wife talking to Psycho Pirate and it gives a short backstory of her. Since when was she ever in the tower? This is a weekly book and I've already forgotten what happened last week. I think that tells you something about the quality of this book. *1/2
