The issue's heartbreaking in that it's a window into how much better this series could've been with both a re-prioritization of... priorities and tighter pacing.

It's neat. It's an issue mostly here to catch you up on the world and central thrust of the plot. It's most successful when it's the likable main character giving it through her perspective and feels the most lore-dumpy the one time where that falls away.

This would've been better if it wasn't connected to knightmares. The Lana/Selina half is the most solid part, giving a nice respite for the run and giving King the opportunity to focus on someone who isn't a despondent baby. Bruce, If we're taking the events literally, is celebrating his bachelor party with his apparently only friend (no sign of Alfred or the rest of the bat-family) and doing it more
