Good stuff!! Silly but with serious themes, the stuff good superhero comics are made of. My favorite part was the one page where batman talks about wrestling alligators in a carnival in florida.

Dan Slott can do no wrong in my opinion. This book deals with the False Face society, Bruce Wayne's love life and Batman's 3 identity balancing act. The storyline was great with a few fun flashbacks but really the 2 stories I enjoyed the most didn't deal with the False Face plot but were just stand alone, "DeathTrap" by Gabe Soria and "The Couch" written by Vito Delsante. I'm pretty sure the latter appeared in another book as well. It is only a few pages with Bruce Wayne doing word association with a shrink, the juxtaposition of what Bruce thinks and what he answers is both humorous and poignant. The Former, "DeathTrap" involves a dangling on the edge of peril Batman and Robin with flashbacks of Batman going through a list of some of his closest calls, this story has a lot of humor with the heroes giving a big wink and nod to the reader! Love it!
***Also, be on the lookout for a reference to the famous painting "Nighthawks"

This was pretty cool. Nice to see Phantasm show up and I'm always a Barbara Gordon fan. I liked how the format switched between the ongoing storyline and short interlude tales.
