The only thing I did not like about this graphic novel, was
the introduction of 'Superdog'. I hate that character. What
happens if the dog goes mad? It's like bullet-proof. Why
would Superman "clone" such a creature? Neither does
Batman admonish Superman: "You realize Clark, your dog
has heat vision...What if Lois decides to adopt a cat?"

However, a point of contention: Croc was green...In nature,
crocodiles are actually grey. Nothing green in nature is
poisonous, I think. So, lizard people are actually pretty
safe, as are garter snakes and grasshoppers, if nature is
any indication....That said, making Croc green I guess is OK,
because the green speaks to what little humanity is left in him.
Or maybe it was done to convey the idea that you should not
judge another based upon his skin colour, but his behaviour.
Skin colour, is not a sign of immorality. A positive correlation
between two variables does not imply causality...Croc, has issues.

That said, this is a pretty cool Batman graphic novel. Most are
really ugly, with lots of murders and killings. This one is more
about beatings and theft of property. Also, Robin is no where in
this novel, or mentioned, so you can pretend he does not exist.
Just don't get the sequel, volume 2, for he appears in that one.

...Robin should never have been.
It's like Wally and the Beaver, or Andy and Opie, it just does not work,
the idea of a grown man taking a teenager with him to fight psychopaths
like the Joker...What is Batman thinking? Kid can make up his own mind?
"You're not old enough to drink whisky, but I believe I can trust you with
hostage negotiations", seems to be Batman's appraisal of Robin in most
Batman comic books...Yet, oddly enough, you don't see Robin walking
into a high school to disarm a kid who is tired of being bullied. Maybe
because the other kids would start laughing at Robin's costume...Or
his name, Robin...Or maybe because the general public has gotten used
to the idea that you should not try to disarm, but kill a male who has a gun,
no matter how old he is or how just his grievances are. Hence, the comic
books conform to the prevailing public opinion, for writers are afraid of
being audited in a post-911 environment. It's a theory...That said, Robin
deserves to be derided, for having no fashion sense, or self-respect. To
love somebody is to want him to be holy. I guess Batman just feels sorry
for him, and so does not say anything about Robin's costume, or his choice
of name...Batman cool. Robin uncool. And Superdog, very dangerous.
"Hush puppy, don't growl", is that not what "they" are teaching males across
North America, while the wicked grow bold in speech and mannerisms?
Or is it, the other way around?
