Batman: Gates of Gotham
by Kyle Higgins, Scott Snyder, Ryan Parrott
So this was a half and half type of story.
The story is basically someone blowing shit up. We don't know who, or why, until later, but the mission is to cause havoc. Dick as Batman decides to go investigate with his team of Damien, Tim, and my favorite Bat-family member, Cassandra! On their investigation they work on discovering who is behind these terrible things while we get the backstory of the villain here and why he's trying to destroy the city after being betrayed.
Good: The art is pretty solid throughout though it does dip at times. I also thought the interactions between the heroes is great. Damien with his quick wit and assholish comments make it a ton of fun. Watching the Bat-family work together was also a blast. The ending was satisfying and all in all anything to do with the Bat-family worked.
Bad: The other side of this is a past of a villain and how he was wronged, which isn't new, but this is also really boring as well. While the story is by two writers, the dialog is written by Kyle Higgins, but it doesn't really captivate you. It's weird since I'm loving his power rangers.
Overall this was a okayish Batman story. As much as I love Dick as Batman, this one wasn't all that memorable. Still okay to check out, it's not bad, but I read better. A 2.5 out of 5.
