Worst mainline Batman story I've ever read, I'm frankly shocked that such a big event with status quo breaking stakes was written so poorly. I can truly feel the hate for him and the batfam here, it's like the writers wanted to bring everything great about Batman into one place and ruin them all in one go.
Honestly Batman stories have been more or less decent for more than a decade, it

Rorschach (2020)

So what does it mean when Rorschach reappears as an assassin trying ...

Recently his greatest obstacle has been the Dark Knight Detective, Batman. Ra's offered Batman a chance to be a part of his new world order, but Batman refused. For years their cold war has raged, b...
Sorry, this story does nothing for me. Bruce and Selina's interactions don't work at all and this poorly thought out version of Gotham is a symptom of Zdarsky's growing disinterest in writing Batman. I don't think he likes the character very much, at least not as much as past writers and I doubt there are interesting things on the horizon. Unless Zdarsky finds a way to connect these stories in a m more

Batman #133
Everyone goes insane eventually. And then they belong to the terrifying Red Mask! But Gotham City has a new savior. He strikes from the shadows, exhumes the dead, and is known only as...the Batman. And in our backup story, Tim Drake's search for Batman continues as he and Superman, Jon Kent, team up to stop the terror of the Toyman!
Bit high on the teen angst side but the art and the story more than make up for it.
I love how King wasn't subtle about hating Jon's age up which to this day remains to be one of the worst decisions DC has ever made.
