Batman: Killing Time #4 - "That Should Do It"

[laughing_tree]

One of my regrets of all those so many Batman issues was we didn’t get to introduce a lot of huge new characters. In Killing Time Dave Marquez and I are rectifying that. Two big debuts. -- Tom King

Very Superhero Dictionary.

"Batman is fighting tigers."
"I am fighting tigers. I am engaged in conflict with tigers."

"Batman is fighting tigers. Batman is engaged in conflict with large felines with orange fur and black and white markings that are apex predators. Batman thinks Col. Moran is kind of a jerk for setting these tigers on him."

Honestly, I liked the "I'm fighting tigers" thing. A+ Batman joke.

Perhaps because these are condensed excerpts of a story that already jumps around in time, I'm having real trouble following the narrative here. It's nice to see Tom King having, you know, fun, but it seems like he might be having more fun here than the readers are.

I always enjoy the moments when Bruce is having a moment of "oh I'm doing this insanity now" It's the closest they do to him enjoying it. Like 9-year-old Bruce is still in there in awe of the stupid stuff he does sometimes.

Not sure that "The Help" is a great villain choice when your protagonist is a billionaire.

Millionaire. Because apparently DC decided Batman was just TOO rich.
