Knightfall prelude.
I was this close to skipping these issues. The art is ugly and the villain is an annoying little twerp. I thought I had better post them for completion's sake.

thanekosThat one was tactile - a serial killer with the inability to feel, and the other antagonist of the story being punished with a lingering injury.
This one's audial - taking place in a very acoustic Gotham City apartment building.
It opens after a cop's been thrown out a window - Batman and Jim Gordon discussing the cop's autopsy, marks on his wrists and neck.
( They're outside the building. )

thanekosIn issue #2, Batman'd captured the Wound Man - and traced his origins out of Gotham City to ' the Town Without Screams ', Green Fields.
He knew the sobriquet's origin - same as the Wound Man's, illegal dumping by Ace Chemicals, a subsidiary of the Axis Corporation.
The corporation's " CEO and senior partner " Christopher Sionis (some relation to Roman), knowing that the Wound Man'd been delivered into Gotham custody, had goons abduct that living evidence against him.
Batman, out in Green Fields, sifted through the evidence in the house of the Wound Man over the phone to Jim Gordon.
( ' I've found out what happened here. ' )
