Batman #693 Review

Batman #693 review- written AND drawn by Tony Daniel, Part 2 of Life After Death. This continues the chronicles of Batman (Dick Grayson) assuming the mantle from Bruce Wayne. This comic is smack in the middle of a gang war between Black Mask and his False Faces vs Mario Falcone and his family.

Along the way Dick and Helena (The Huntress) attend a fund-raising event. Bruce Wayne is there, too. However, I'm not sure if it was an actor hired by Alfred to keep appearances or Black Mask in disguise. The function is interrupted by a bomber (I think she works for Black Mask). The Riddler (who has become a TV psychic detective) gets caught in the explosion and seemed to have reverted back to him psychotic self.

ENDING SPOILER:

An innocent gang member (an African-American kid) is gunned down while informing Batman. I'm sure Dick is going to feel guilty about that.

Conclusion

Solid Batman comic; in the middle of story arc, so tough to really judge on its own.

Read more carefully next time...

"Bruce Wayne" was Hush.

Nothing was definaely with the Riddler, I check Tony Daniel's Twitter; he explained that.

Be clear: That is the NEW Black Mask, and we don't know who he is.
