Finished reading Batman- Detective Comics: League of Assassins, continuing with the series as writer James Tynion IV shifts the focus of the book to Cassandra Cain as the book’s villain has strong ties to her history. The book opens with Cassandra copying a ballet dancer before scaring her and heading into the city to so some armed men. Meanwhile Batman is meeting with the mayor of Gotham in hope to work together to stop crime in Gotham. However the mayor is soon found dead by being tied to a wall with multiple swords which turns out to be the work of the League of Shadows lead by Lady Shiva which Batman believes to be a myth only to be proven wrong when the League of Shadows being to attack Gotham. The penultimate story sees Azrael and Batwing bonding over training and discussing about religion and technology. The final story see Tim Drake before he disappeared coming to Batman to ask why he as placed all of his protégées in different parts in the DC universe. Overall this was a great book as writer James Tynion IV makes Cassandra Cain the main character of the story helps to give her some amazing character development and the interactions she has with her mother helps bring some great emotion to the book as well. The continuing inclusion of the Colony is intriguing as their motives and that way the organisation is connected to what Batman and his team have been facing makes their existence more important. The art throughout the book is amazing as every action scene shows how affective each hit is especially with Cassandra’s fighting style as the book also shows the way she sees the weak points in on someone. 8.5/10.
