Just when I thought good titles under the Batman umbrella were drying up here comes Scott with a mix of the old and the new. The book re-iterates all that is good with the bat without a significant departure from the past. But the best part is not Batman but the villain of this piece. Riddler finally gets some glory under the son and comes out from under the shadow of the Joker. The story is crafted well enough to make him a star villain in his own right and maybe that was the task that was set for Scott and boy did he deliver. So go out and grab this one and get a taste of “Riddle me this and Riddle me that”!
