This book also had a surprisingly contemporary theme of paternalism. Women being told not to do something by the men in their lives because it’s too dangerous. First, Catwoman victim blames the muggers, telling them that they should have taken a cab, then Gordon tells Essen to not go after Catwoman, and Bruce tells Vicki Vale to stay away from the museum. Each time the person being told that something is too dangerous, lashes out and does it anyway. I thought it was an interesting theme that ran throughout the entire book.

Pick this book up if you find it and I’m going to get the rest of the arc. It’s another cheap but good Grant/Breyfogle story and as always please help out Norm Breyfogle and donate to the Hero Initiative.
