Batman/The Shadow: The Murder Geniuses by Steve Orlando, Scott Snyder
3.0
Snyder's story proves a valiant, if flawed, attempt at mixing the origin stories of two Pulp Heroes.
Though the overall story arc proves a little lacklustre, it does offer new and intriguing villains and adds a supernatural element that comfortably fits into the Batman Mythos.
As for the villain, the arc proves a little underwhelming.
The Story of Cain and Abel is ripe for comic book treatment but it ends up being all to reminiscent of Snyder's previous Court of Owls.
A good rather than great story comic that should do for fans of both Batman and the Shadow.
At least there's no bellied Baldwin in this take.
