Batman #13 and #14

Batman #13 and #14

In issue #13 of this acclaimed Tom King series the ‘I am Suicide’ story continues (#12 was a corker also).

Bats finally defeats the psycho-pirate and subdues Bane with the help from Catwoman and the Ventriloquist. At the end of the issue Bats tells Bane that he doesn’t have to come and find the monster etc. and that he’s not necessarily a completely bad guy but in typical fashion the issue closes with Bane calling for lots and lots of venom to turn himself into a psycho again. This leads nicely into the next Batman storyline where Bane comes back to kick some Bat-butt, starting in Batman #16 on sale February 1st.

#14 opens with a very sexy make-out scene between the Cat and the Bat. Bats tells her she has to go to prison because she’s killed an awful lot of people (237 to be exact, along with one broken Bat-heart). She won’t get the death penalty but gets life instead and it’s in Blackgate not Arkham so that’s a bonus I guess.

Catwoman wants one last night before being locked away for good and so she and the Bat roam the city rooftops fighting two-bit criminals. The night ends in a romantic farewell between the two and after next issue Catwoman will be locked up.

Batman #14 is out this week.
