This is a step up from the last issue in both the art and writing departments but there is nothing here to latch onto. There is no real mystery as to who Dr. Death was until it's revealed on the last page and he's just captured. Batman does little detecting and more neck snapping here which while funny and of the time literally does nothing for the story. At least the stellar backgrounds, dynamic poses and sense of motion are back.
