Comic Book Review (8/10) "Great"
This is a crossover event comic and continues from Batman #7 and continues in Detective Comics #941, which is out on 09/28
Nightwing #5 "Night of the Monster Men Part 2"
Story: Steve Orlando/Tim Seeley
Art: Roge Antonio
Plot: The giant kaiju-looking monster let loose by Dr. Hugo Strange is attacking Gotham City and it is up to Batman, Nightwing, Batwoman, Spoiler, Orphan, and Clayface to save the city. Gotham Girl is still recovering from the fear inducing infection caused by Psycho Pirate in the bat cave as Duke and Alfred are providing logistical support from the bat cave. Nightwing has a plan to activate the watchtower contingencies to bring down the monster - can the Bat Family do this before they lose Gotham City to the Monster Men?
Batman and Batwoman try to bring down the large monster that is attacking Gotham City, while Nightwing goes to investigate the morgue where once deceased Castro, the drugged infant-looking monster, came from. Things escalate as it's found out that two more bodies were being prepped in the morgue by Dr. Strange. One of these monsters is Balinoff, who was responsible for shooting down the 747 plane in Batman issue #1, and it is found out that Strange let him loose in Blackgate Penitentiary! Can Nightwing get there in time to save the inmates and stop the third monster?
This is a popcorn-flick type of book, where Batman and his allies are trying to figure out how to stop the large, dangerous monsters. The coolest part was when Batman utilized hologram images of himself that were being projected from street lamps all over Gotham to direct the citizens where to go and to give them a reassuring message. The monster designs are pretty cool, and watching how the Bat Family try to take down the monsters is interesting. You won't get anything substantive here, but more tying up loose ends from earlier Batman issues and just the Bat Family fighting monsters.
