Batman: Dark Patterns #2

As Batman: Dark Patterns my interest is leaning more to the art than the story. The second issue of the twelve-issue maxi-series offers the return and capture of the self-mutilated killer we saw in Batman: Dark Patterns #1 who Batman successfully captures. However, due to the incompetence of the coroner who Batman warned Gordon about in the first issue the character (who really only had a single-issue shelf-life for me) may be sticking around even longer.

Months after the end of Season Two, the retiring , who has relocated to Tennessee taking odd private investigator jobs, Will Trent (Ramón Rodríguez) is pulled back into the department to help investigate the shooting of a cop whose prime suspect demands Trent’s involvement in the case.
