![]() ![]() ![]() Further complicating things is the return of old mob boss Lew Moxon and his daughter Mallory who was a childhood friend of Bruce’s. Tied to the death is a new player in town named Philo Zeiss, an assassin with special abilities who seems to be able to outmatch Batman. ![]() The main arc centers on the death of one of Bruce Wayne’s close friend, when he is killed in a shootout with the police after a robbery attempt. This volume collects Batman #582-586, 591-597 and O ur Worlds at War #1. Much like the Detective Comics writer and future collaborator Greg Rucka, Brubaker brought a much more grounded hardboiled style to the Dark Knight that hadn’t been seen since Frank Miller’s Year One. With this collection, DC finally rights that wrong and presents the first story arc that Brubaker did on Batman before the rest of the run contributed to the Batman: Murderer?/Fugitive storyline. Almost everything he does is great and held in high regard, which makes it strange that his work on the main Batman line often gets overlooked. Ed Brubaker is a highly revered writer in comics known for his work on everything from Captain America to Gotham Central. ![]()
