This, so much. It helps that Winick likes his snarky villains, but Black Mask was a real joy to read in UtH. It also probably helps that Winick didn't make him do anything gruesome either. Ha, thanks. Winick is not my favourite writer, but damn if he can't write some cool snarky villains. While I agree with Batcookies that he kinda HAD to die, if the characterisation was Winick's before and after, then I would have loved the character. Seriously, who get lines like "It's like trying to run an evil organisation with my Mother!" these days?
