DC Comics and The Next Batman #9 Spoilers and Review follows.
It All Starts Making Sense Now!
Lucius Fox Is The Scumbag?
Turns of this deposition relates to Tim Fox’s distracted driving car accident that killed a man and not some kind of legal matter involving Lucius Fox’s business.
Tim aka Jace’s lawyer is his mom and she and her son walk out having satisfied the bare minimum of the deposition.
Jace wanted to speak more, but it was not required legally.
His mom makes no apologies for doing her job, feels badly about the man that died, but feels Jace needs to work out his feelings over what happened.
We then get a look at what happened after Tim told his dad what happened at the end of last issue (full spoilers here)…
…that he killed a man!
Lucius Fox is depicted as ruthless…
…prepared to victim blame and shame to protect his family.
His solution to Tim’s issues and situation is…
…shave his head and send him to boarding school.
We see him struggle there and a friend speaks some wise words to him that has him feel less sorry for himself and…
…leads to him ready to participate in boarding school fully.
The Pulse:
Continuing to unravel Tim Fox’s and his family’s history. An emotional roller coaster of an issue story-wise with decent art. 7.5 out of 10.
