I'm only giving reviews for the two new stories. Steve Engelhart has outdid himself with the Batman Tale, "Night of the Stalker".
He truly brings out the tortured past of Bruce Wayne, as the Batman races to stop a group of murdering thieves. Flash-backs abound as Batman relives the murder of his parents thru those of a young boy suffering the same loss of his parents. The other story is a Manhunter tale. It presents a quick recap of Paul Kirks' life, from Espionage operative to Big Game hunter and finally Manhunter. I recommend reading Detective #438 first, to make sure you get the full effect.
