Chip Zdarsky kicks off Failsafe: Part Two with a nightmare that reminds Bruce Wayne of the price he paid to remain Batman. He hopes his former sidekicks will not also have to forego happiness and fulfillment to continue protecting their community. But when a robot attacks Bruce, his sidekicks leap to his aid.
Jorge Jimenez delivers explosive action worthy of a big-budget action film, while Tomeu Morey helps the characters glow amid the nighttime battle. Fans will want to see all the great characters working together to defend their mentor amid the high-flying action. Despite his metal body and glowing face, their assailant resembles Gotham's greatest guardian. Amid the fighting, Bruce cannot help but think that, somehow, this is all his fault. But then, the past often has a way of catching up with us, even if we acted from the best motives.
In Two Birds, One Throne, Selena Kyle spends two weeks working for the Executor. As she tracks down her leads, Selena discovers others have arrived before her. Tonight, she endures a brutal scramble in tight confines with a killer. Once again, she fails to capture the object of her search. Selena is frustrated as she reports to the robot. But fate is about to hurl her another curveball.
Belén Ortega gives Catwoman an iconic look as she swings through the night sky before a full moon. Selena exhibits poise and beauty as she navigates dangerous confrontations and dramatic encounters. Luis Guerrero enhances interiors and the night with ambiance and energy, while making the metal marvel shine with a Human approachability. Clayton Cowles uses his lettering to communicate exhaustion, determination, a robot emulating his creators, and a tragic moment that frustrates and angers Selena. Thanks to DC Comics for sharing this story with us.
Batman #126 is available in compilation Batman Vol 1: Failsafe.
