Review of BATMAN 25: Jokes and Riddles Part 1

Jason Book and I discuss issue #25 of Batman (DC Comics), by Tom King, Mikel Janin, and June Chung. This is part one of the "War of Jokes and Riddles" story arc.

Overall, we thought this was a very effective kick-off to the story and it has the potential to be a modern classic in terms of the Riddler character. We also like the narrative structure tying the current events of Bruce and Selina with these past events that took place after Zero Year in Scott Snyder's run on Batman.

• Diana at "age 12"
• Diana not being allowed to speak
• Hippolyta and Antiope's debate
• Adult training - foreshadowing of future events
• Things aren't fair
