Detective Comics 754 - Officer Down 06

Monster in a Box.


So now the cops know who the perpetrator too,
only they have to proven it, but they can't do it. So they should extort a confession, so let's go to the examination room.

The whole story basically is questioning of Jordan Reynolds (aka Jordan Rich). Detective Crispus Allen is the narrator and one of the interrogators, while his partner is Renee Montoya. They work with the good cop, bad cop method (of course), Allen is the good and Montoya is the bad. Though it turns out that Jordan as a Chicago gangster was arrested by Commissioner Gordon, thereupon he lost his family and his (gangster) job, but they do not get farther, Jordan just having fun with them.

They do not give up so easily (because even ten pages have to be filled with something), Harvey Bullock visits Commissioner Gordon in the hospital maybe he recognized Jordan, but of course not.

There's nothing else, they pulls the Batman card. It's complete success, Jordan immediately shits himself and admits that he is the culprit. But it is still not official statement. It is not clear for me that because the Batman kills Jordan in the jail too (So why would he confess?), or because they ran out of time (they have to unleash the suspect after a certain time).

Batman strikes the homeward Jordan,

but he does not kill him just asks for a formal statement what he does not get it.

Nunzio DeFillipis' story tries to be dramatic tension, but it was not for me, it was too obvious that the wasting time is only dramatic purpose of the story, so the plot can't go forward an inch, and in addition his applied solutions were too cliches. But something good to say, I liked Allen's narration. Mike Collins' draws, however, are not only beautiful but also help out the writer what I have missed from the previous draws. In his some pages, it is the perfect dramatic tension what DeFilippis was unable.





On the other hand it is especially disturbing that Jordan is not even similar to the figure whose Rick Burchett has drawn him in the previous booklet and whose he (Burchett) will draw him (Jordan) in the next one. Because he is a new person who are does not has well-known characteristic signs (just like Harvey Bullock), so the drawers ought to negotiate each other.
Oracle appears too so she is labelled too.
