I should admit my hopes were absurdly high for the conclusion of Batman: Beyond The White Knight finale, and yet I'm delighted to say issue #8 impressively met those hopes and perhaps even soared past. Rating: 3 out of 5 BATMAN: BEYOND THE WHITE KNIGHT #8 Googe has worked on several other issues of Batgirls, but this issue feels more frantic and almost rushed and somewhat undercuts the seriousness of the issue's contents. While Cluemaster's behavior is erratic, so is the switch back to Neil Googe's artwork. He pushes Steph through a brutal torture/examination of their relationship, before a drastic misstep has potentially deadly consequences. Cluemaster is back from the dead and suffering from a bad Lazarus Pit resurrection. If the first half of this Batgirls arc showed the begrudging respect between Cassie and her mother, the latter half of the arc shows how irrevocably broken Steph's relationship with her father is.
