The Cavalier – that’s the Z-lister with the swords, right? So how’d he manage to frame Catwoman for a run of burglaries? And how on Earth did he manage the more spectacular crime of cleaning out the Wayne Enterprises pension fund and framing Bruce Wayne for the deed? However impressive he may appear to be, The Cavalier will quickly learn that frame-ups like that cut both ways, as both Batman and Catwoman begin tracking the Gotham City villain in this stand-alone one-shot from comics legend Howard Chaykin!

*** Beware – spoilers may be found below *** The Good

  • I am a huge Howard Chaykin fan and so Chaykin on the writing and art chores is absolutely good enough to get me on board.
  • “I have to say I love what I do.”
  • “…it’s when the movies overlap that the trouble starts.”
  • Catwoman arguing with Batman that he does break the law.  “You’re really enjoying this, aren’t you?”
  • “Good call, Peter… start praying.”

The Bad:

  • Having only a T-square for defense against a swordsman with an electric sword.

The Ugly:

  • Wayne Enterprises’ massive accounting scandal leaving the pension fund broke.
