DC Comics Universe & Detective Comics #1008 Spoilers & Review: Batman Squeezed Between Joker & Mr. Freeze?!

Spoilers

DC Comics Universe and Detective Comics #1008 Spoilers and Review follows.

Batman Squeezed…

…Joker…

…and Mr. Freeze?!

Batman is invited by the Joker to an amusement park…

…and he’s creepier than ever.

He forces Batman to “play” with him in the amusement park or he’ll blow up a random citizen enjoying the rides or manning a station.

The end up at a robotic fortune teller…

…that Batman deduces had the bomb apparatus in it…

…that he diffuses; the Joker tries to escape and is downed in Gotham Harbor. So, on the loose.

Book ends with Apex Luthor…

…making an offer to Mr. Freeze as part of DC’s Year of the Villain.

The Pulse:

A fun story, but sad that the Joker tale was a done-in-one tale. Art seemed chopping at times and gorgeous in others; not sure if that is due to the inker or something else. 6 out of 10.
