![]() Unfortunately there are lots of people who feel so threatened that they pay the money. The more vulnerable they make you (the recipient) feel, the more likely they are to receive their ransom request of payment. Surely if someone did have a video recording of you, they would send it to you as this would be proof. If they have listed one of your passwords within their email, it is likely that they’re using this as an attempt to make you feel like they have evidence against you. In this case, they have used watching porn as a way of humiliating their victims.

Luckily this was one of those times where I was wrong. The idea sounded terrible as Tut was a silly character and although he worked for the show, there was really no desire to see him brought into the comics. ![]() For me it was doubly disappointing as it replaced the far superior Legends of the Dark Knight which was one of my favorite Batman monthly books so when I heard that one of the upcoming story arcs would be a three-issue arc that would bring King Tut from the Adam West Batman into regular DC continuity I thought it would be another misfire in the line list of letdowns that this title produced. For most of its run Batman: Confidential was a sub-par title. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Unable to bear the shame of returning to a family that believes her dead or to abandon others at the keep to an imposing new laird, Genevieve opts for the peaceful life of an abbess.
