Wow, this is a surprisingly dark issue for a Johnny DC all-ages book. Still righteous, but dark nonetheless. It's Valentine's Day and Batman & Huntress are tailing a maniacal Mr. Camera, who is actually pretty creepy in a demented paparazzo stalker kind of way. Huntress is distracted, and we follow Bats in assuming it's due to her unrequited V-Day love ("Gotham City is my mistress. Fighting crime is my romance." So perfect).Really, it's her birthday. And he forgot. He's not a very good friend. And he fucked up the case - Mr. Camera isn't after the Gotham Film Preservation Institute after all! He's after the poony lovin'! Huntress' poony lovin'! Batman, you fool!
So it's an action-packed issue, wonderfully written by Walker & delightfully drawn by Jones (great colors by Heroic Age). And it's creepy. Just like Valentine's Day! So perfect.
