Batman 694 REVIEW and Spoilers
Batman #694 review- written and drawn by double-duty Tony Daniel- gotta say that Tony Daniel’s artwork on Batman is getting better and better if that’s possible. The plot focused on the new mysterious Black Mask and his Ministry of Death struggling to maintain control of Gotham City. Batman- Dick Grayson-is investigating Kittyhawk – a young thief pivotal to the outcome of the gang war.
Ongoing plots/revelations in Batman:
The Falcone family is at war with Black Mask.
Katrina (Kittyhawk) who stole something and is being hunted down by everyone
The Riddler is still missing after the explosion that may have given him his old personality and memories of Bruce Wayne back
The Arkham Aslyum’s Dr. Singh may have invented a cure for all mental illnesses, but someone blew up his team.
Hush is the one pretending to be Bruce Wayne, and he is planning something
The Reaper, Dr. Death, the Golden Age Batman villain, and Dr. Hugo strange are up to something sinister. They work for the Black Mask.
The Penguin is thwarting assassination attacks because he did something that pissed Black Mask off.
More tension between Dick Grayson, Oracle (Barbara Gordon), and the Huntress.
Dick Grayson feels guilty over the death of the teen informant named Baby D from Batman 693. While Baby D was in the hospital, Dick’s thought bubble revealed that he will get the kid a mentor, job, and college education once he gets better. But Baby D dies at the end.
And of course “Who is Black Mask?”
My only problem with Batman 694 is that all of these plots and subplots are too complicated and densely packed; it’s impossible for any new reader to jump aboard. With so many comics on the market DC Comics should make it mandatory to have a recap page at the beginning of every issue. That being said, I shouldn’t complain too much because Batman comics have been in this serial detective format for years now, and it works. Obviously everything is building up towards Batman #700, and all will be revealed and make sense in time.
