"New Dawn" Part 3 of 3! Forced to work side by side, Batman and the Riddler may end up together forevertrapped inside King Tut's Tomb! Concluding Batman's first comic book encounter with the cursed King Tut!
If you can't tell from my continuous praise, I really like this arc. That's a full turn around from my stance on the entire series a few issues ago. Instead of trying to retcon history, and force a gimmick down the readers throats by proclaiming it the new new revised truth, The King Tut arc introduces a new character, an interesting twist that in retrospect lays the groundwork for the current disposition of the Riddler, and delivers a story that ever comic book reader should own. Batman Confidential #28 is a fantastic read and deserves 5 out of 5 Stars. Read Full Review
I thoroughly enjoyed this arc of Batman Confidential. Thanks to Jose Garcia-Lopez, Nowlan and Baron, Batman looks good, especially with the lengthier ears. Thanks to Weir and DeFillipis, he acts like the proper Dark Knight I grew up with. His team-up with the Riddler offers comedy but more than comedy relief, and Tut proves to be an interesting, even horrific foe. Read Full Review
This story from Batman's past feels like it could have been written thirty years ago (although it would have been told in one or two issues instead of three), and Garcia-Lopez gives it a classic look that places it in that late-Bronze Age period as well. But in this era of Tony Daniel's "Battle for the Cowl," stuff like this looks refreshingly new and vibrant. It's the veterans coming back for one more swing at the pitch, saying, "no, youngster, it's supposed to look like this," and slamming it over the fence with ease. Read Full Review
Yep. It was just a really fun series of BTAS episodes. Satisfying ending that is left open for more. Unfortunately, that thread was left dangling and never brought forward for more storytelling but who knows? Someone could read this years down the line and want to use these characters. It has happened with BTAS characters.
