Writer: Alan GrantPlot: The Dark Knight and the Man Without Fear team up to stop a gun smuggling war between the Scarecrow and the Kingpin.
This second Batman/Daredevil crossover just isn't as good as the first one. The dialogue is along the same lines as that found in Byrne's Batman/Captain America one-shot - a little over-the-top - which is the main reason I'm disappointed with Alan Grant's work, this time around.
Now, I don't read Spidey or Daredevil, but even I know the Kingpin doesn't say stuff like "geek" once, let alone twice. He sounded more like a cheap mook than an intellectual archenemy.
Barreto's art was pretty snazzy, especially on Catwoman, and I see he adapted the noose around the Scarecrow's neck, based on the redesigned Batman: The Animated Series look.
There were too many plotholes that I had to ride over, and when I saw the Scarecrow, I thought, "Great! I can't wait to see Alan do great things with the Scarecrow!" but Crane turns out to be more of a babbling idiot than the deranged psychologist he's regularly portrayed as.
