5.0 out of 5 stars Counterpoint, June 9, 2003

This review is from: Batman: Bruce Wayne - Fugitive, Vol. 2 (Paperback)

A previous reviewer had one reservation with this book, nad that would be Batman's, for lack of a better term, "support staff." Beyond an exquisitely handled murder mystery, this is an exploration into Bruce Wayne's own psychoses and hypocrisy. Honestly, why would such an individualistic lone wolf need so many underlings? Take into account Bruce's age: he's in his mid-to-late-thirties by this point, as the story is set one decade since the Batman first appeared on the streets of Gotham. As protector of the city, Bruce Wayne has an overdeveloped paternal instinct, and has subliminally acquired a family under his alternate persona.

On the other hand, he tries to push this family away, because he feels his is the only soul tormented enough to sacrifice himself to the rigors of being the city's justiciar.

This review is from: Batman: Bruce Wayne - Fugitive, Vol. 2 (Paperback)

This graphic novel is the second in a two-part series. In the first part of the series, Bruce Wayne was framed for the murder of a woman, and had to go into hiding, even closing down the Batcave. In this volume, Batman goes on the trail of poisoned heroin that has hit the streets of Gotham City with a bang. Who is selling this heroin, and why? Somebody very powerful is behind all of this, and only Batman can get to the bottom of it. But, what can he do to clear his name?

This is another great Batman graphic novel. The story itself is complex and gripping, and I found the illustration work to be great. So, if you are a fan of the Dark Knight, then you should check out this book it's great!

Bruce Wayne: Murdered and Fugitive series is a good story arc. Nothing exceptional either in the story or the art. For some reason though, I do like the interaction of the other characters with Batman as the question his innocence.

I do recommend it. I have read it a couple of times, so it is good enough to read more than once.
