This was a really great series, and again, Stephanie Phillips proved me wrong. I highly recommend people enjoy this as this has interesting abstract concepts yet it's understandable, and the coloring as well as Flaviano's art is amazing.

This story has been delayed for 4 months.... for this. The only thing that is frankly good and consistent is Jim Lee's art. This feels like an alternate Batman or All Star Batman and Robin. Why is he blowing things up? Why are the dialogue and internal dialogue so melodramatic, serious, yet boring? Riddler literally said Nygma Time.

Personally, what DC should have done is after Chip Zdarsky's run ended, then they should not have done this story at all and just "cancel" batman until Matt Fractio comes along. more

this is what a "filler" or slice of life issue should be like. It should still be written well and made me care about the characters. This is my definitive supergirl series

This was a pleasant surprise, I think I am just as invested in this tie-in series as much as the main series

Never have I rooted for the villains, but Greg Rucka's expert writing makes me want to root for the villains to rob the Justice League

Fraction does it again.

I think what makes this first three issues special and fresh is that Matt Fraction is not trying to deconstruct Batman or break him down. Sure, it's a simple story where Batman and Tim Drake are framed for a crime to commit. But his humor and Jorge Jiminez art as well as Toreu Morey's coloring just makes Gotham seem more bright and colorful. Instead of being dark and purple, Gotham City is bright blue and green, and I actually feel Gotham City as alive.

Again, usually Batman is a dark brooding serious hero, but him disappearing behind Harvey and Commissioner Gordon's back, him getting kicked in the balls by Damiain Wayne doesn't make me roll my eyes. Matt Fraction's writing is executed well here, and it's nice to feel Matt Fraction's earnest and hopeful Batman. While it's nice seeing Batman be at his lowest point and rise, I want to preface that we had that Tom King, James Tynion IV, and Chip Zdarsky. Almost 3 runs back to back (Joshua Williamson's Batman was still solid, but it was a placeholder) had the same concept, so it just feels way better seeing a different story (unless Matt Fraction drops the ball in the future).

Also, I love how Jorge Jiminez has slowly been evolving as the definitive Batman artist of 2020s. His work on Matt Fraction, Chip Zdarsky and James Tynion IV feel and look so different from each other, you can tell which artist is who. more

Al Ewing is not my preferred writer sometimes, but this series rocks hard. I like the writing for sojourner Mullien, this is the first time in a while ever since Far Sector that I got attached to the character

Honestly, I always get pleasantly surprised with Jason Aaron every time a new issue picks up. I like the fights, Rafal Sandaval's art, the coloring, and just the writing for Superman, Lois Lane, and Jimy Olsen. I think re-reading this from the beginning will have me appreciate it even more

It's strange on how much better and cohesive this story was compared to H2SH. While this was not on the same level as The Last Halloween and Dark Victory, this was still a very solid and strong conclusion to the trilogy. The rotating artists did not bother me, even with Batman being meaner, it didn't bother me as much. Jeph Loeb clearly showed that he enjoyed and really wanted to write this story well. And shout out to Tim Sale as well more

Holy peak, Batman. Let me get this out of the way really quickly. Harren and McClaren both did really good jobs here and I liked what they gave us here. That said, Johnson knocked it out of the park with the main story. That story, on its own, gets a 10/10 for me. Warren and McClaren's stories were just gravy. Batman hitting a One Winged Angel was just insane and I loved it so much. The story as a whole, was fantastic, with us seeing a little more of Bruce's origins as Batman. The art, of course, simply rocked throughout. Johnson is, truly, masterful. more

Seeing batman beat up white supremacists automatically give this a perfect score. The art, action is so dynamic and Darren Warren Johnson is one of my favorite upcoming writers. This is my favorite annual of all time. If people are honestly sensitive and pissed off that Batman is beating up clearly evil people (doesn't matter which race they are), it tells more about them. Howard, I just want to say I dont exactly know how does Darren Warren Johnson have a strange way of showing he loves his country.I guess unlimited illegals is a good thing for every community. Can you show me what page and panel on Batman choking ICE officers? more

I thought I submitted this review, but honestly this is a modern classic that I will enjoy re-reading over and appreciating everything. Maybe this series got cancelled because the sales, but a hot take is that I prefer this over Batman/Superman: World's Finest. I don't mean to trash another series to highlight another series, but I just like this series because of the consistent art, coloring, and writing for Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson. more
