5/5 Stars

A well thought-out and well crafted murder mystery, beautifully drawn and inked by Jim Lee and Scott Williams.

Batman as detective, Batman as super-hero.

With a wonderful assortment of characters.  Poison Ivy, Killer Croc, The Riddler? How about Catwoman, The Huntress and Robin? Nightwing?

This is how comic book writing should be done. With a twist or two at the end.

The only question is, what happens to these characters when they hit the DCU? Where do these great characters go?
