Angst Night in Gotham

[shankie]

The Batman: RIP story bleeds into Batman & The Outsiders #11; Clark goes looking for Bruce and finds someone else, Jim Gordon is looking a little distraught, and Dick is looking downright rabid. Cass? Not much better, really.

This is the "we can't live without Batman" issue; have some highlights.





My question here is: where is Alfred? Did he just let Ollie get trashed in the foyer and whisper to Tim to avoid the loud singing on the first floor? And while I'm at it, why does everyone look so much better far away than up close?







Meanwhile, at Arkham...



At the Iceberg Lounge, Batgirl is thrashing the Penguin for information on Bruce's whereabouts, which strikes me as a serious long shot, but understandable.

And later that evening, at the GCPD...







The Outsiders then discuss if they can even exist anymore, then teaser stuff for the next issue happens, dun dun DUN!

I think Dick has been working on his scary face.

All I can think of when I look at the first two pages is that if Ollie was really worried about the rising cost of arrows he wouldn't be shooting them at Superman or just randomly into walls to begin with.

Hmm, *looks at watch* how long before Bruce makes his grand entrance? *looks at watch*

I'm not worried, it will be sooner than you think.

*Going to get orange juice.*

I think Dick's been working on his scary face too xD. He's probably trying to out-do Batman or something :P...

I'm confused though... 'Suit of Sorrows'? Is that Batman's suit or an enemy's?

You know what I just noticed? Most of the BatFlash stories I read, it's always Wally that dies. How come no one decides to injure Bru-- *gets hit by Nightwing*

Admittedly I didn't get to the comics store this week, but -

Has Oracle just been forgotten or what? I mean, she's kind of not been part of the Batfamily lately, but Bats always come home to roost in time of crisis, and Babs would be here for her dad if nothing else.
