Batman Confidential 3 and 4

This has to be my favorite issue of the series so far. Despite the fact everyone's hair is pretty messed up, the art was perfect. And I really enjoyed the story. The beginning where every detail about how Batman gets into the LexCorp Building was amazing. Diggle is a good writer and I would like to see him write Batman again sometime after this arc. I really had no quibbles with this issue.

This was another good issue, the only problem I had with it is continuity. How could Lex do something like this and the people just forgive him later? And why wouldn't other heroes, not just Batman try to stop him? He basically announced to the world that he wanted to kill all superheroes with his robots, why wouldn't the other heroes retaliate. I hope Diggle will explain this in the next two issues. Otherwise, the story is pretty cool with Lex being a total badass even though he thinks what he is doing is right and the Robot Bat in the Bat-Cave was the coolest Bat-Cave seen since the Brave and the Bold scene with Green Lantern and Batman.
