In which Batman is faced with Riddller trap after Riddler trap, in an attempt to thwart the naughty Russians and their plans for world domination and nuclear armageddon.

Victor Freis, that would be Mister Freeze, another of Batman's Gotham gallery of villains. And although Batman has been played by a Brit before, most notably by Robert Pattinson and Christian Bale in their respective Batman movies, here's a reason to keep an American mindset under the cowl.

Daniels is published by DC Comics tomorrow. Or right now on Comixology if you are in Australia… or can persuade Amazon that's where you live.
