DC should give Bendis a chance with more Batman stories. I know we're living in an era of dark books, especially for the Bat, but this light-hearted story was great and Derrington's art was on point.
Batman: Universe #6
By: Brian Michael Bendis, Nick Derington
Released: December 4, 2019
Available to comics shops for the first time! In the conclusion to Brian Michael Bendis and Nick Derington's DCU-spanning saga, Batman's mind is trapped in the unlikeliest of places- inside a White Lantern ring! That would be bad enough, but his physical body is stuck on Earth, completely vulnerable to attack from his enemies. Good ...

This is a good issue, very interesting to say the least. I really hope they're going for the story behind Freeze's motivation. The art is really good too.
Now, I don't understand the recent hate for King's work. Yes, he kinda messed it up with the wedding, but his ideas remain solid and the flow of his panels remain untouched. His Batman will not be different from now on until #100, (if he re

While doing his civic duty, Wayne's forced to take a hard look at the Dark Knight...

Johns is not trying to be Moore and that is a very good think. This is not Watchmen nor Justice League, but he's not disrespecting the lore. I live in México and not in a very big city within the country, which means it's rather hard and expensive to get printed first editions of my favorite books, but this story, along with White Knight is worth every damn cent.
It's a huge disappointment t

As I was reading this issue, I thought: Is this what people felt while reading Watchmen or Killing Joke for the first time? Did they notice the classic instantly? Did we notice it with this book? Yes, to me, this is THAT good.

I liked it. This continues to put this Robin as one of my favorite current characters, he's such a likeable asshole. By the way, Andolfo is not drawing this one, although she should; I've never been a big fan of Pham's art...

Watching Bats kicking some villains in the face is nice, watching the Family coming together and saving the day is cool, too. But those little intimate moments like the one in this issue when Alfred is talking to the Robins is what I really love in the Batman comics.

I liked this, a lot. I'd be interested to know the background of Bryce's life and the way she handled her villains before going crazy. By the way, Bryce Wayne is a hell of a name!

King's most inconsistent arc within his Batman run ended with a bang. I loved this issue. Although I didn't like this Riddler, I sure loved this Joker. I'm not that confident on the future due to Selina's decision, but I trust Tom King can pull it off.

I didn't like it as much as the previous issues, but I understand this worked as a setup for what is coming... What I still love and was the reason I got hooked from the start with this story is the dynamic between Damian and Jon. They're both fantastic!
This is a just good number within a fantastic series, maybe my favorite in Rebirth so far.

Batman getting some Speed Force, becoming more evil as he stops bad guys. That's a cool idea, for sure...
