Sorry for the lateness of this, I have been working and fighting off a cold recently and still have not finished off last wednesdays comics.After commenting on how well Judd Winnick was doing on Batman I found it only fair to say that I also am really enjoying Streets of Gotham. Writer Paul Dini made his name from the 90s Batman : The Animated Series which I own every season of. He is responsible for bringing us Harley Quinn and revamping oldies like Mr. Freeze into great characters.
Streets has the story going in a few different directions and poses some great scenarios for readers. I like to see the B-grade characters done well and Dini is using people like Firefly and Mr. Szazs in a good way to keep the big picture moving. The two main plots going on revolve around the new (or original?) Black Mask and Hush. Black Mask's war on Gotham after breaking a bus full of villains free is keeping Batman's hand full, and now Hush is free and pretending to be Bruce Wayne.
Dini does the little things well and after almost two decades of writing for Batman, for television or comic, he is quickly becoming a favorite. Streets #2 was sold out at my comic shop but if you can find it, read it.
