The Penguin's death scene is good and creepy.

The bird seed love note gave me that hair standing up on the back of my neck reaction.

The vulture torture is a great grisly scene. Loved it.

I like Batman's focus being so intense that he doesn't hear Gordon come in.

I want to know who is behind it all. But I don't want to read it too fast. Its great the way that you have the reader feeling Batman's emotions as his foes, his villains, are revealed in an odd way to be people he cared about.

I like the Catwoman portrayal here, almost playing the role of den mother to Batman's rogues.

And as for the cliffhanger, I just have one thing to say...OH SHIT!

Good stuff. Loved the story.

I give it 10 out of 10 cigars.
