Detective Comics #17 (2013)

Detective Comics #17



Cover:

Batman just does not get along with clowns at all.

Plot:

The League of Smiles is out terroizing Gotham residents and lead by a man called Merrymaker.  Who is this guy and can Batman stop this group before there are more bodies?

Our Hero:

Nice to see you using that brain of yours Batty.  Don't see that often enough.

Our Villain:

I'm wondering if he was recently playing Assassin's Creed II when the inspiration for the costume struck him.

Our Side Characters:

Gordon probably didn't tell Bullock about that scanner just for this very moment

Action:

Broken Mask Count So Far: 2

Dialogue:

Batman is rather chatty than usual.

Art:

He's totally the villain.  You cannot tell me he isn't the villain.

Most Memorable Moment:

Spit take!  I don't see enough of those comics.

Final Page (Main Story):

Ms. Finch: Boss, you should really stop with these cheesy lines.

Final Page (Backup Story):

Eh, he should stick to his day job instead of drawing.

What We Should Take from This Comic:

Sometimes, it's not the Joker himself that causes the most problems.  It's the people he influences and creates that can truly bring out the chaos for the city.

What We Do Take From This Comic:

The Merrymaker's costume is pretty awesome.

Yay or Nay?

Yay
