I think it ended a little suddenly, but it was still a great read and kept me entertained all the way through. Good job!

Thanks everyone. This is my first story I wrote for anyone but myself. Like all things I learn from my mistakes. My next one will be longer.
I like to thank Ellen Fleischer for fine tuning my story and DrDread for the cool cover. David Charlton for everything else and my wife Stephanie. She is the best.
Thanks Again,
Mitch

It was great as a short read. This villain could probably be used again in the DC2, either written by you or someone else. I like how similar Humpty Dumpty's childhood was compared to Batman's. I really liked the line:
“Do you know what it is like to live with OCD?”
“I know a little bit about it,” said Batman
Anyway, great start!

Agreed! I liked the shortness of it. I really know nothing about this particular villain, but after reading that there was a forensic investigator named Humphrey Dumpler... I thought to myself, 'well, that one's solved!'

I thought to myself, 'well, that one's solved!' In the DC Universe Humphrey Dumpler was never a forensic investigtor. I made that up. Here is link to some of the information on Humpty Dumpty. www.southside.za.net/reviews/oct03/arkham3.htmAnd thanks for the comments. Mitch

I don't know why, but I didn't quite like the story. I understand that maybe you were trying to bring out a bit of story to one of Arkham Asylum's "lifers" but the manner in which you did didn't grab me. An enhanced exo-skeleton? It's been done... It was a solid little story, but the manner in which you told it did not grab me. You have a vivid style that allowed me to stick with the story, and the shortness of it was effective (short, sharp, sticks with ya'). I'll read whatever else you write, because you have some cool ideas... One final thing... Those little editor notes would have been better if they were at the end of the story, because they disrupted the flow of narrative, and were abrupt to say the least.

I liked this story, almost too short though - can't wait to see what else you've written since then!
