    Well, even with the Holly thing I'd say it was one of King's stronger stories, if only because it played to his strengths.

    Though obviously with the relationship being spotlighted and the reveal, I understand why you don't care for it much.

    This is hilarious. I personally am not convinced that Kite Man's backstory is as good, because I don't really love him getting so dark, but it remains to be seen where King goes from there. I think so far, it's clear that Kite Man serves as an audience "control" character - someone who we can see being affected by the actions of Batman and his villains/Catwoman. Not quite the common man (unless King thinks the common man is totally cool with working for the Joker, which very well may be a thing), but serving that kind of function in a world of gods and demons.
