Batman Eternal: 10 Best Moments So Far

4. Forbes Lets Pyg Loose

DC ComicsDC ComicsActing Commissioner Forbes is a cut above your typical corrupt Gotham cop. Again, with Gordon out of the picture, the police crackdown on Batman's vigilantism is able to reach new heights. Forbes is the guy to steer everything toward that goal, although he's doing so at the bidding of the more dastardly villains in the pages of Eternal. Still, Forbes is pretty nasty in his own right. Professor Pyg, the utterly ridiculous yet somehow terrifying hack surgeon bent on brainwashing Gothamites, has featured quite a bit in the first few issues of Eternal, only recently being caught by Batman and strung up for the police to handle. The police begin to do just that - until Forbes comes along and actually cuts him loose. That Forbes would take his hunt for Batman so seriously that he actively assists dangerous supervillains along the way suggests that Forbes certainly enjoys his current position of power as Commissioner. Even though he's really just a henchman for the more well-known bad guys, Forbes is managing to do more than his fair share of damage to Batman and his allies.
