I really enjoyed this one, getting inside the head of a monster still sane enough to recognize his mortality. Croc has no doubts that in this pond, there is always a bigger fish, and eventually everyone will be eaten alive...so he retaliates by becoming as big and vicious as he can be.

A very interesting take on an otherwise brutal character. He's still very much human to be able to accept the eventuality of death, to feel thrill and respect on encountering the Batman...but he's also an animal in the literal sense of the word. He's not in this for money, for glory, for fame like so many other of Gotham's strangest, not even in it because he enjoys fear or needs to spread a message like the Joker. He simply does what he does...because he wants to. Because he can.

I love the contrast between Croc's thoughts for his workers and society and those for the Batman. They really are both a 'me against the world' sort of villain and hero.

TA DA! :D See, just like I promised!
However I really do like these one-shots of yours.
To be completely honest I never thought of the Killer Croc as having any sort of depth because of how he's often depicted as this big pile of muscles with no brain.
However I thought this worked really well and it's good to see this kind of analysis of a character who's often forgotten about/ given the back seat to the likes of the Joker, Catwoman, Two Face, Riddler as well as other supervillains.
It's definately different so this is the whole reason why I like it very much :]

I like this. Most people don't give Killer Croc any depth whatsoever, which you did. Thank you.

Thanks for writing about Killer Croc! He's definitely one of the least-used characters on this site.

Aw, poor Croc.

This is very good--very sad. I liked it a lot.
