Panel 4: This
image – a large panel with the figures of Nite Owl and Silk Spectre small in
the background – is yet another instance of how Moore & Gibbons utilized
the medium to tell their story. This
scene, with its expansive openness surrounding the two heroes, emphasizes how
alone and helpless Nite Owl and Silk Spectre feel right now. They are both literally and metaphorically
small and insignificant.
Panel 7: Moore
& Gibbons continue to play with the words and pictures as Nite Owl’s
admission that he and Silk Spectre are “out of [their] depth” is stated over an
image of these two entering an area of Veidt’s fortress where there is a pool,
within which one who could not swim might be out of one’s depth.
