Review
.
"Stalking: Part two"
.
Writer: Lee Marrs
Artists: Eddy Newell

The motorcyclist detonates a bomb in the subway. The package to Jim Gordon is a warning and he sends his wife and child away from the south district.

The motorcyclist’s finale is meant to be a concert and Batman tracks her down and a fight and chase ensues in whish she gets away.

She then goes to Jim’s apartment and tries to tap the phone and find Jim’s wife and child’s location. Batman is waiting a great fight and chase follows and the motorcyclist dies trying to kill Gordon, who is saved by Batman. As she dies she says “Ben Conly avenged. All of it on your head, Gordon…”

Jim replies “I don’t remember any Conly! So many over the years… who the hell…”

Overall Rating: 8/10

The conclusion didn’t disappoint. I love how something so insignificant to Gordon can be so significant for this psycho killer. An extremely good Batman double even though a little bit wordy in terms of Batman and how he relates to ‘his’ city.


Favorite Panel:


A lot of great panels in this issue, but this one of Batman and Jim Gordon standing side by side in silence is my favorite.
