Why did we stop following the interesting and rather unique-for-DC story of David Zavimbe version of Batwing? When Batman or Black Canary or any other titular hero has a crisis of conscience we get a couple of longish story arcs detailing what they are going through. But, the black, non-American has a change of heart and he gets dropped? Really? For Lucas Fox? The spoiled rich kid who is bored? Really?

Okay, so we have Luke now as Batwing. He fights off 70 armored terrorist thugs. I only counted in the high 20s in any given panel, but lets say 20 armored terrorist thugs at one time. Why has he waited for Batman to get the go ahead. Now, we do see in a flashback that he saves Bruce Wayne from a shooter while wearing a mask, but if he is this bad-ass, either he should be the world champion MMA guy, or he should be the guy where people say, "remember Batman? What a chump, is the real shiznit." (Because people still say 'shiznit' in Gotham.)

The only reason I am going to read the next book is because it is part of the larger bat-family storyline and will play some role in the upcoming (for me) Gothopia event.

Also, Lady Vic gives this book 2 stars instead of 1. If she hadn't been there, suckville all the way. ( )
