Instead of exaggerating muscles and femininity, it's sometimes caricaturistic, especially with the villains. I'd say seen as well, but Liam Sharp used so much black in this that I couldn't make out a third of the panels. The twist of this story is also an astounding disservice to Killer Croc’s character (you wouldn’t believe me even if I told you what it was), tastelessly butchering his background and nature for the sake of delivering a ludicrous, unoriginal, and dull surprise regarding the story’s mysterious main antagonist. The monster is killed, and Killer Croc is arrested, but Batman remarks that Croc is still mutating, and could become something even worse in the future.

The book had a hidden funny vibe to it as everything that was happening was serious as hell yet, the way Batman was dealing with everything with this dry, deadpan approach like he wasn’t taking it serious was amusing to me. I would have been a bit dissapointed in this book, but I did not have great expectations for this book anyway. Including The Phantasm, who at the time of publication had recently turned into a Canon Immigrant in the comics. It isn't his normal straight pencils and inks it looks digitally painted, with inspiration possibly from Sienkiewicz, McKean and even Powell. Butt-Monkey: Konstantine, a goon that Batman stalks, threatens and uses throughout the story to get what he wants.Inclusive a forma como Ennis retrata o Batman também é ambígua, não fica claro se ele está ou não zoando com o Homem-Morcego.

It used to be Batman, but something far more frightening than a mere man stalks the shadows—and it's after Gotham's villains. Yes Batman is a dark character, yes he uses fear as a weapon, but in this book he comes across as much of an uncaring sociopath as the criminals he is chasing or "putting into traction". Deranged Animation: If there's a comic book equivalent to this trope, Liam Sharp's bizarre artwork is definitely it.It’s colorful to say the least, deformed and caricatural- Batman is like 7 feet tall/250 pounds- but it reminded me of the glorious years of experimentations with the medium of the mid 80’s-mid 90’s. Alright, first and foremost, it needs to be mentioned that Liam Sharp does some of his best work in this series.
