It makes sense that Batman would have to change something about his demeanor or procedure in order to put fear into the criminals of Moscow. They are a different culture after all. I am liking this exploration of Batman struggling in a foreign city.

The Bear is an interesting character – sort of like a friendly giant. He reminds me of Wylde from the Outsiders. Someone should bring Wylde back someday. Clarke’s art is pretty amazing, but I wish he drew Batman as darker or the colorist did. It would make him seem scarier and get the point across that that is what he is trying to do. But DC seems insistent on not having the dark costume these days – so I am sure that is not Clarke’s fault.

Okay I figured out that not only is Batman not being drawn dark enough, but Milligan doesn’t really give him that voice. He always writes Batman as if he is Bruce Wayne, not Batman. He talks way too much. Not that it made this a bad comic, it was just distracting.

Nice ending, I like that Batman has inspired the Bear to become Moscow’s protector. The Bear is an interesting character and I hope to see him again some day.
