Despite a brief tussle with Black Spider in the records room, Batman got what he came for and returned to the Batcave to learn more on Deadshot's past.īruce discovered that Deadshot was a member of the Lawtons, a rather wealthy family in Gotham with an unfortunate history. In order to track Deadshot's movements, Batman breaks into Arkham Asylum to find something on the gunman’s true identity. Luckily, the Batsuit protected Bruce from the bullet and he proceeded to fight both villains until they managed to escape. However, while Batman fought him, Black Spider revealed that he was actually hired by Deadshot, who then shot Batman in the chest. With no leads as to Deadshot's whereabouts, Batman scans the city and locates Black Spider, another assassin who might be working for the same person who hired Deadshot. Leading him to believe either they could've been the intended targets, or Bruce himself. Later, Bruce discovered that the killed man and many people among the group he invited were members of Arkham Asylum staff. Bruce was forced to leave the group to confront Deadshot as Batman, but the villain escaped before he could get to him. Suddenly Deadshot open-fired on the building and succeeded in killing a man, causing the rest of the group to take cover. When the families of Thomas' victims decided to sue Bruce Wayne and Wayne Industries for compensation, Bruce gathered them all to Wayne Tower to discuss terms. He is an assassin who appears to have a vendetta against those associated with Thomas Wayne. And it’s a good Batman standalone, but sans the Telltale connection, it’s only just good.Wealthy Assassin Floyd Lawton, also known as Deadshot, is the main antagonist of Batman: Sins of the Father a series of tie-in comics set between the first and second seasons of Batman: The Telltale Series. But so much of the enjoyment is predicated on having this prior knowledge of this particular canon. If you’ve liked the Telltale interpretation, you’re going to like this. Each character has a strong voice in line with their video game counterpart and, in many ways, it feels like a good Let’s Play with a well-balanced set of responses and lots of fun Easter eggs regarding some content in Enemy Within. The dialog is crisp and Ienco continues to perfectly capture the Telltale visual aesthetic. And finally, we get action hero Batman with all the quick time events and flashy fight sequences. We get Batman unmasked, talking candidly with Alfred. We get investigator Batman, strong-arming criminals to find out crucial bits of information that we would be linking together if we were in the typical Telltale interface. We get to see Bruce Wayne, local billionaire pariah and currently working with the police. Like your typical episode, we juggle between the different facets of Bruce. It’s not nearly as groundbreaking as the Penguin or the Joker, but he fits the antagonist role Gage had in mind and he fits it well. And most importantly, Telltale has latched onto the character’s anti-heroics and tethers it into the grand conspiracy at the heart of Telltale’s iteration. He is every bit of a tactical marksman you’d expect him to be. He is wearing a functional adaptation of his iconic outfit. The current headlining villain of Sins of the Father, he is perhaps the least changed character in the Telltale reimagining. I know that this is a Batman comic, but we gotta give props to Gage and Ienco for their rendition of Deadshot. Writer: Christos Gage / Artist: Raffaele Ienco / DC Comics
