Detective Comics #944 – The Victim Syndicate Pt. 2
Published November 9, 2016 by DC Comics. Written by James
Tynion IV and illustrated by Eddy Barrows.
Harper’s curiosity gets the better of her while scoping out
Luke Fox’s car and triggers his anti-theft drones. But the Victim Syndicate
crashes the party and Batwoman needs everyone’s help on this one.
Batwing joins the action and Renee attempts to subdue the
leader of the Victim Syndicate only to find bullets have no effect. But the
leader only wants Batman. Once the fight starts Batman finds his punches have
no effect on the tech the leader of the Victim Syndicate is using.
The Victim Syndicate’s leader begins to reveal the group’s
connection to Batman as Spoiler falls victim to poison and Batman is rendered
speechless. As the leader offers an ultimatum but Batwing disables the leader’s
tech that was preventing Batman’s punches from making contact and he is able to
land a solid blow to the leader’s jaw. The fighting resumes but comes to a
stalemate as the Victim Syndicate retreat.
Later at the Belfry Batman, Batwing and Batwoman review the
casefiles on the Victim Syndicate. Batman finally remembers each member and
their story. And while recovering from her poisoning Stephanie is visited by
the Victim Syndicate’s leader to end the issue.
This new villain group has me intrigued. So far it’s just a
band of misfits who seem to think Batman is bad and they are good. However,
each “victim” has a menacing power that often seems similar to other villains
in the DCU. But that’s explained. I’m looking forward to how all this plays
out.
