Synopsis: Batman has to face minor gangs in modern streets
of big city. He has to face their "big brothers" too.
And cops.
Comment: Jan Strand's realistic approach of classic Batman
story is effective, so is Richard Corben's artwork. Batman is invinsible,
but slightly cartoonic character. "Bat ears" are much
shorter than in this version thant they used to be in modern
versions of Batman. Story is one of the most realistics of all
the stories in the this special serie.
