Batman Knightwatch #5
SCORE: 78
I am very thankful I had the money to purchase a copy of the Batman
Knightwatch #5 comic book. There are two main stories within Batman
Knightwatch #5 and a sneak peek at another book. The two stories within
Batman Knightwatch #5 are Harley's Hyenas, and Invasion of the Owl-Men.
The sneak peek is of Deadman Tells the Spooky Tales. I have actually
read the sneak peek of the Deadman Tells the Spooky Tales in another
comic book I read recently.
There will be spoilers in this review. The first story Harley's Hyenas
is all about Harley Quinn. She steals two hyenas from the zoo. They are
her pets that she feeds all this meat too. That is how the Knightwatch
is able to notify Batman of where the hyenas are being kept. There was
an order for one hundred pounds of meat. Then another order for the next
week. The butcher dropped off the meat.
Batman and Batgirl go and investigate this building. They find Harley
Quinn and the two hyenas. There is some violence as the two heroes try
to subdue the hyenas. Harley escapes so they lay a trap to catch her.
The hyenas are used as bait and Harley Quinn comes just as expected.
This was a really predictable story. Batgirl getting bit was an
interesting part in Batman Knightwatch #5 for me.
Invasion of the Owl-Men is a different kind of story. There are three
kids at the library trying to come up with a comic book to write. The
main one wants to go with Mr Freeze because he is so cool. The artists
is not interested in that idea at all. So the girl comes up with the
idea to use Owl-Men since Owls are natural predators of bats. The design
looks more like one of the Talons from the Court of Owls.
The kids decide to have Robin, Batgirl, Nightwing, Huntress and even
Batwoman help out Batman in Batman Knightwatch #5. The kids leave the
library and see Catwoman. They call it in to Knightwatch. I am not sure
why since she is not doing anything criminal, but maybe they want to err
on the side of caution. There is some humor within Batman Knightwatch #5
that kids will most likely understand.
