    Almost too Much to Handle!

    The issue is portrays the extremities both Batman and Joker are willing to go to achieve their goals. Batman as desperate as ever turns to the Court of Owls to ask them if Joker has truly been around for as long as he claims. After not obtaining the information he desires he has a Goddamn Batman moment as he cuts the rope holding a model of Gotham in hope to crush the Court members then proceeds to fight Uriah Boone, one of the first Talons, and interrogates him in order to find answers. The rest of the issue is filled with amazing art work done by Capullo, and the colors were just beautifully done by Plasencia, don't get me started on the inks! Seeing the entire cast of characters in the issue and to put them in a way that makes them still feel natural seemed like wonderful writing. Scott Snyder knocks this one out of the ball park for sure every page and every event that has been taking place has been absolutely thrilling. James Tynion's back up feature was just marvelous and seeing how he writes the Jocker is absolutely astonishing, truly mind blowing work filled with suspense in each line. Endgame has been a thrilling ride till this point and I can only hope the final issue for this arc will be just as glorious.

    Just a question for my concern, is Uriah Boone supposed to be the first Talon that was mentioned in the Court of Owls one shot? I would have expected more if it is.
