With Batman #16, writer Tom King and artist David Finch kicked off the "I Am Bane" storyline on a surprisingly lighthearted note. Most of the issue unfolded in a Batman-themed fast food restaurant, where a bemused Bruce Wayne looked on as his various sidekicks wolfed down Bat-burgers and French fries with a healthy dose of Jokerized seasoning. It wasn't how many would have predicted the latest violent showdown between Bane and Batman to begin. And that's exactly why that issue worked so well. If Batman #16 and The LEGO Batman Movie have proven anything this month, it's that the franchise really needs an element of humor to counteract all the darkness and violence and brooding.
