3. “Nature” (Issue 32)

Having a series that focuses on the golden boys and girls of the MCU means we get spared from having to watch the corruption on evil of the rank and file officers on the streets. But sometimes, a dip into that world can lead to a great story. As is the case here.

While "Corrigan" exposed us to the seedy underbelly of Gotham beat cops, "Nature" puts us in the perspective of one of those cops. Officers Munroe and DeCarlo are as bad as they come and hearing Munroe's thought process throughout the issue is deeply sickening. Some people just should not be trusted with power and when they are, things go bad. Other than brief cameos from Montoya and Allen, this issue leaves out the main cast in favor of giving us a look into the corruption on the streets firsthand.

Munroe and DeCarlo murder, steal, and extort like the pieces of garbage they are, even abusing their connection to Corrigan to get away with it all. But as they learn by the end of the tale, the police aren't the only ones out for justice in Gotham. And, without spoiling it, let's just say those sinister forces in the dark will do a hell of a lot worse than arrest you if they catch you.
