The Tower
Part 11 of 12
Sadly, this book never "got better." The first issue was great. Then when the action started the book got worse. The big climax in this issue, the penultimate one, has the mayor's wife putting on Psycho Pirate's mask. Yeah, that's the huge cliffhanger. Jesus Christ. At least Batman is in this issue. He was missing from parts 1 to 9. It makes sense to have Batman in a Batman book...especially since The Batman is in movie theaters right now so his presence should be, well, known. The artist on this issue is Amancay Nuhuelpan, who I've mentioned before being a poor man's Greg Capullo. While I think his art is actually pretty good, there is one panel that is God awful. Batman and his crew finally find Scarecrow to confront him. In the panel, Batman and his crew are standing literally inches away from Scarecrow. Like...fucking punch him or something! I get it...the artist wanted to fit everyone in the panel...but still, it looks ridiculous. The other things that go in this issue: Penguin sends in a bunch of his soldiers to Arkham Tower. Also Lady Clayface saves Harley Quinn. Lady Clayface is yet another character who has apparently been in the "trapped" building all along. Sigh. This book's a complete mess. 1/2*
