    FLASH FACT! He spends his days running Wayne Casinos!

    A world in which Dr Thomas Wayne is the survivor of the Crime Alley shootout and became Batman. This issue continues a plot point briefly mentioned in the second issue of the main Flashpoint book - Joker has kidnapped the DA's kids and it's up to Batman to find them. But this Batman plays by very different rules than the Batman you're used to....

It really represents how simple the difference is between normal Batman and Flashpoint Batman. So little difference, yet so much. And the shadows are dark and slid, reminds me just a tad of Mike Mignola. The di...
