Batman Incorporated #3
The art in this book is superb. Such thick black lines, solid shadows and stylised character work. Really good on the eyes.
We get giving a bit of story of some old U.N. superhero team first then flick back to present day to find Bruce Batman and this Mexican motor biker guy saving someone from a typically Morrison villain (parrot on shoulder, insanely coloured and letting loose living scorpion bombs). He dies but his parrot gives away his bosses name.
We then cut to Bruce impressing a lady, who turns out to be a villain called Scorpiana, and fake girlfriend of the El Gaucho guy, Bruce came here to recruit. The El Gaucho guy thinks that Batman is impersonating Bruce and not that Bruce is Batman, which is just backwards and I cant remember this being done before. They follow police radio signals to find 3 missing children being drowned and the Big bad and Scorpiana have told them to fight to the death or the children will die. Now THESE look like proper villains!
It's not quite Pokerface, but these do feel like classic old-school villains.
