Some thoughts about Batman #107


Can the Scarecrow take over Gotham City?

Several people around the city are preparing themselves for the new political change that is about to happen but Bruce believes there hidden intentions going on here.

A bit interesting but the usual flaws.

James Tynion IV offers a new installment where he follows-up the major plot-point surrounding the Scarecrow and once again, that's something that I can appreciate at the very least. After how many overused ideas Tynion has been using over the course of his run, is cool that he's tackling a Batvillain that hasn't been so exploited as the Scarecrow (Well, not as exploited in comparison at least). There's also a decent amount of content included here along with many segments concerning different characters.

However, there's also the usual Tynion tics like the overwritten dialogue that starts getting really tiring after a few pages. Mind you, this is not that present during action scenes but is still noticeable when it happens. Not to mention that I'm still not a fan of Tynion's Harley and the direction that other books are sadly following for her.

Jorge Jimenez' art is magnificent though with a really vibrant, kinetic style that makes every scene a joy to watch.

There's a second feature about, *sigh*, Ghostmaker and Tynion, as expected, tries really hard to push him as this cool Bisexual antihero to the point of being cringey at times. Some of the worldbuilding is interesting, especially concerning the villains, then again, you also get characters named "Brainstorm" and "Kid Kawaii" that make your eyes roll. Ricardo Lopez Ortiz' pencils are pretty solid with a really energetic look and storytelling.

Not bad, not great. More of the same.
