So the editor at DC read this script and said, “Yeah, this is good enough.” Interesting.
I don’t even blame Snyder because it’s clear he digs the early eighties Batman and he’s sort of modernizing it (with continuity adjustments). Oh, and referencing Misery. Got to have a major motion picture scene rip in each issue apparently.
Snyder skips explaining why Dick’s forgiving of the Gotham blue bloods. He also skips explaining Dick’s escape from them, which is a bigger deal.
He needs to save room for the showdown and Jock drawing a giant mutated Man-Bat variant? Very boring. Jock got famous for doing iconic action, not for doing creatures ripped off from Alien 4.
There’s not even a Jim Gordon backup this issue, which isn’t so much bad as awkward. I was expecting one.
Snyder’s actually good at characterizations and dialogue. He’s just a terrible plotter. He needs help.
