Batman: Dark Detective by Steve Englehart, Terry Austin, Marshall Rogers
3.0
Batman: Dark Detective is a Silver St. Cloud story. She's one of Batman's key love interests, though shes nowhere as awesome as Catwoman.
The plot here is that Silver St. Cloud is back in Gotham after the last time she was there (when she broke up with the Batman cause she couldn't handle the life style.) with her new fiance, who's running for Governor, but so is the Joker! There's also Two-Faces antics to deal with and Scarecrow is in the mix. The police are also on the hunt for Batman because of a recent law. It's simple while you're reading it I promise.
It has my least favorite aspect of Batman stories which is the contrived love story, though it doesn't make him a lovesick puppy that just wants to give it all up for a woman. Contrived because Silver is engaged and happy and mad at Bruce but then after a Scarecrow dosage the both fall for each other again but also break up at the end of the story, its all very melodramatic.
Worth a read if you love Silver St. Cloud, otherwise maybe if you find it for cheap.
3 stars.
