The de-humanizing animal masks recall the finale of Robin Hardy's Wicker Man, as well as numerous instances in Morrison's own work, from Hellblazer through The Invisibles and Hurt and Pyg's twisted orgies in Batman and Robin. As Batman and Robin travel further into the slaughterhouse Labyrinth, more of the sluaghtermen reveal their allegiance to Leviathan's twisted cause. That's his Goat-ercycle he's leaving behind as he enters the abbatoir.īoth the Lone Star Brand trucks in the background and Goatboy's motorcycle front end both feature inverted five-pointed star designs, the Satan Symbol that future-Bats Damian noted way back in Batman #666. The gun-toting perp is Sam Lucas, (possibly) alias Goatboy, making his first and last appearance this issue. The red inset panels are an especially nice touch. Morrison plays to Burnham's strengths by launching us straight into the action.
