Oh come on, DC! That's just rude.
So Batman is going to battle The Mad Hatter this issue but what I'm most concerned about is whether or not he actually revealed his secret identity to Natalya. He'd be a fool if he did! Because there's one sure way to know if somebody is a super villain and that's to think you can trust them enough to tell them your secret identity. But before I begin reading this comic book, I have one question: What the fuck happened to The White Rabbit?! Did David Finch cry "Dibs!" on that character? Or is the character just not interesting enough for other writers to pick up? I miss photoshopping her outfit to make it even skimpier than the way too skimpy Finch had already made it!
The Mad Hatter's entire operation is falling apart and while he's not too worried about the Gotham Police bringing his play to a halt, he is worried about that one guy.
Tweedle Dee has a point. Unless that's Tweedle Dum.
"If one pill at a time made me an unlikable mess, just think what six at a time will do! Bottoms up!"
Back at the Batcave, Bruce is sitting around waiting for the Batsignal while Natalya hangs out with Alfred upstairs. So he really did go through with it! Now instead of sitting in front of the monitor waiting for crime to happen, he can sit around having sex waiting for crime to happen. And Natalya can sit around having sex waiting until she has to give another performance. They sit around having so much sex this night that Natalya almost misses her symphony. But Bruce drops her off in the Batplane and before anybody thinks Batman can trust anyone at all with his secret, he plants a bug on her so he can hunt her down and kill her as soon as she blabs his secret. Or else it is another tracer so he can find her if she ends up getting kidnapped by The Mad Hatter now that he's totally and completely in love.
One of the Mad Hatter's hatted spies notices Batman dropping off Natalya, so everything is already ruined! Batman giving a civilian (especially a love interest) his secret identity is tantamount to shoving that civilian into a refrigerator with his own hands. And now that The Mad Hatter knows Batman is involved with Natalya, it's either The Hatter or The Pianist! One of them has to die!
Leave her alone, Jervis! Alfred can't take any more death!
You didn't plant the tracer under her skin, idiot. Does she sleep in her fancy dress? Zoom in a little, Bruce. I think you'll find the bleeping is coming from her closet. And she's long fucking gone.
Now that Jervis has found the star of his play, he calls for a rehearsal. He summons all the players from Gotham and they all leave their families and friends to wander out to the abandoned underground silo. What's wrong with the families of these victims? Haven't any of them tried to get their loved ones to remove the fucking hat they've been obsessively wearing for weeks?! I'm pretty sure unless they're Ron Howard, wearing a hat 24/7 would be suspicious. Wearing it while sleeping? Strange. Wearing it in the shower? Fucking weird. Wearing it while wearing another hat? Someone call The Goddamned Batman because it's obviously a Mad Hatter problem!
The rehearsal doesn't go very well so Jervis fires all of the actors.
While Batman just sat and waited and played love games,
Just chilling. And I love the title.
