When is a criminal not a criminal? That’s the question an old nemesis asks all of Gotham City. A new arc and mystery begins in Detective Comics #1059 as the Riddler takes to the airwaves with a series of puzzles for Gotham just as the city is hit by a wave of amateur crime including the attempted bombing of a Gotham City judge during a sentencing hearing.
Despite the fact I’m still not onboard with the broke Batman idea, Detective Comics #1059 offers an interesting beginning to to the new arc that also may include a new love interest for Bruce Wayne. As to what’s happening in Gotham City, and how it ties into the Riddler’s shenanigans, that’s a riddle Batman will need to solve. Also included is the beginning of a new back-up story for Gotham Girl.
