Millionaire Contract
Boss Thorne has hired Deadshot to take out Bruce Wayne. Little does he know that Alfred has hired the Human Target to take Bruce's place while Batman is recovering from his attack from the Vampiri. Alfred and Dick also conspire on how to disprove Vicki Vale's theory that Batman and Bruce are the same person.
There is the continued story of Boss Thorne going on here. He's still out to get Bruce Wayne. In this case, getting a hired gun named Deadshot to take him out. There's many plot lines going on here. They all have a good feel to them. Vicki's idea about Bruce and Batman, Gordon looking into election fraud with Thorne, and the main story of Deadshot. The prior two seem to be a weaving thread throughout this series and the Batman series. With Deadshot coming along in this issue only.
We get some classic detective work by Batman, tracking down where Deadshot got his special weapons and using that info to track him down. I like how the action sequences played out as well. With Deadshot trying to take out Wayne (who's actually the Human Target) and Batman trying to take out Deadshot. It's not over too quick, it's drawn out a little bit and done well.
I like how the Human Target character played out here. He's not just a flunky, taking shots for money. He's crafty. I liked that guy. Gotta do some investigating on him now.
This is a solid 4 for me.
