Batman and Robin #21

For some reason my brain can remember every single story in each ongoing monthly comic I read, apart from Batman ones. This one was the Angel guy turning the city to light. Thats as far as I remember. They save the drugged children from a fall and it is revealed that the Angel guy has been using the ketamine drug to give his victims hallucinations about God, and a painless death. Also he has been using real feathers to make the angels their wings before painting them gold and drugging them up to wander off buildings. So Batman and Robin go to do a little bird watching. Brilliant dialogue as per usual.


In case you ever wondered why Gotham has no pigeons (I haven't either), it's because the falcons have eaten them. The link between everyone of his victims is that they are all family of Arkham Asylum in mates. He is punishing them as he is a religious fanatic that believes something about sins of the father or whatnot. He thinks the relatives are responsible and need punishing also. Soon at the scene of the Mad Hatter's families death, Commissioner Gordon and the Dynamic Duo decide there is nothing else to do but keep a watchful eye on every family member of every Arkham inmate.
I'm not normally a fan of Batman villains. The whole crazy for no reason other than being crazy thing is just tiring. But I do like it when there is a kind of crazy that I haven't seen before. That's about as refreshing as it gets.
