Jun 13, 2023This is a tense, entertaining issue, but there are so many characters that it often feels like we're just spending a few pages with each of them. Read Full Review

The Batman Universe - Theodis Wright
Jun 13, 2023As this arc continues, it will be interesting to see how close each member of Batman Inc. skips the line. While I can't see them crossing the line like Wingman almost accomplished, the Joker's test and the consequences for failing will be strong. Read Full Review

Batman-News - Aaron Ray Jr.
Jun 13, 2023The best aspect of the Bat-Family are their personal connections to one another. While Batman Inc is still struggling to bring that out, the Joker's dilemma will either build or break this team. If Nightrunner's situation is foreshadowing a diaspora, then I totally predict a few members of the team to take Joker's deal. In fact, Gray Wolf, Wingman, and Nightrunner are the most likely to break Batman's rule. Telling roguish characters like Willis Todd to "Kill the Jokers, Save The Hostages" is asking for trouble. Overall, John Timm's line art sets a fun tone, but is often distinctly ugly. The artwork does not impede from the strong moral dilemma. Luckily, Joker's new plan is a welcome upgrade from the abandoned roulette idea in the previous issue. Read Full Review

Decent read, and the concept of the Joker and what he has done is interesting. Can there be way too many bat characters? Yes, yes, there can! Also, how dependent is everything on the Joker? Even Chip's Batman Arc, which was interesting, tied back to the Joker. At least he did something very different.

I don't know how many times I can say this, but there are just too many characters to focus on in this series. While I do enjoy a good chunk of the stories happening here, there's not a lot of room for the reader to get as invested into these characters and stories as they could be. Nonetheless, Timms's art continues to be good and the various storylines Brisson brings here are good-to-solid. We're nearing a year of this book and it still has the problem I mentioned here and nearly every, if not absolutely every, review I've written for this series.
