So, this guy is Gotham's Preimer sadist who slaughtered hundreds of people like cattle, crippled the woman Dick loved and has ostensibly murdered his two little brothers. And he's supposed to alienate himself form everyone he loves for months and kill himself angsting because he almost killed him?
Um, that does not work on any level, sorry.
So of course they had to repeat the same scenario with Blockbuster. *headdesk*
Gawd I hate this storyline. And it didn't even have any Thank-God-You're-Alive Bat-cuddles either! Unforgivable!
