Batman/The Shadow: The Murder Geniuses by Scott Snyder
My rating: 1 of 5 stars
This is a hot mess! I was so looking forward to it! Batman is my favourite superhero and The Shadow is my favourite pulp masked hero. They are both vigilantes and both dark, brooding characters. A character match made in heaven. Instead what we get here is some weirdo, looney tune Shadow who is 'centuries!' old with paranormal powers and connections. He psychically knows the Bat's history and actually was people from his background. The art for The Shadow characters is good but the DC ones are painful. Terrible, terrible story of some ancient warrior villain's return. What a missed opportunity for a great team-up :-(
