I have really struggled with folloiwng this redefinition of Batman's origin. But it has been interesting, and I am mildly surprised to say. Unfortunately, this issue was just basically violence, violence, violence, and the villain has no message, no purpose other than chaos. The reality is that there ARE institutional criminals. LOTS of them. But the Black Mask idea that the solution is murdering I have really struggled with folloiwng this redefinition of Batman's origin.

Yes they do deserve a happy ending. And at least a moment on the beach.
The story of Batman Bruce Wayne and Catwoman Selina Kyle really deserves mature writing.
I could care less about the latest Absolute Power soap opera and lunatic Amanda Waller.
In fact, it was the cover that sold me. As I am sure it sold many others.

The score represents the fact that I was completely lost because I am not following the Absolute Power main story.

But for a tie-in, the writer has something to say about Bruce and Selina. He actually writes her as smart, insightful, and mature. She actually seems like a grownup and a partner who can hold her own physically and in the brains department. Bruce isn't written as a lox.

This is an interesting story. Great to say the JSA make an appearance.

Old time JSA readers have largely given up on this issue.
Earth-destroyer Mordru joining the JSA?
And now it is OK to KILL Hawkman?
Please. What an absurd storyline.
Geoff Johns really needs to hand this off to someone else already.

So, just like that Bruce is a billionaire again, Selina is back in good graces, and Bruce 2.0 is aged out. And there are no consequences for Bruce whatsoever for all the havoc he's unleashed on Gotham these past months. Only in the funnies.

FINALLY. The Epilogue is everything here and is worth buying finally.
My goodness about time.

Everyone has a right to their artistic freedom, including DC Comics publishing Yanick Paquette with Power Girl basically with a bare buttocks. And the human body is beautiful. I am also pro-naturist. But hero and heroine comics should still be accessible to kids. I know everyone will say I am a dumb prude. I am the furthest thing from that. But I don't see a point in chasing parents away from supp Everyone has a right to their artistic freedom, including DC Comics publishing Yanick Paquette with Power Girl basically with a bare buttocks.

Absurd imaginary stories in Diana's mind. That is all this issue is.
Just think about what CIA's Tom King would put there.
The CIA looks at law and wipes its feet on it. So that's the values you will be reading.
So murder? Hey, that's OK with the CIA.
Just remember it is all one big fake-out in this one big, long "imaginary" story.
(At least for now.)

This issue was so meh. Bruce is being saved by the power of love. Flash and Tim tell him he's not alone, amazing considering the first five decades of Batman had him working with Robin, Superman, Justice League. Now we are told Bruce's mind has been seeded so he doesn't have to take responsibility for writers going edgelord. Also Damian realizes robot is not dad.

Wonder Woman character was created and introduced in All-Star Comics as a character to raise up and unite American people. Now we have CIA's Tom King using the DC Comics issue almost as a parody level of absurdity of targeted hate based on race, gender, and religion. If the roles were different, the DC Comics published tract would be labeled as a "hate crime" piece.

There isn't much meat here and it's far overwritten. King just loves to hear himself prettle on, apparently. It's like he's being paid by the word rather than the page. For instance, all he has to say is that they buried Giganta small and then they enlarged her, or drop her from a helicopter. Instead, he goes on and on about how they buried a fifty foot woman for no reason whatsoever. It's somethi There isn't much meat here and it's far overwritten.

I cant believe I am saying this but Rossmo's art continues to get better. Like just take page 3, The look of Ms Belmonts face is worth a thousand words and Rossmo just nailed what Venditti was trying to get across in that panel. There are some great moments in the arts fine details across the book on that alone.

What Total Nonsense. If you want to write about Thanagar or some imaginary dimension or Darkseid, and any of the other sci-fi nonsense, sure who cares what you write. Stick to adventures of "outer space," then. But when you are writing about the WWII era, there is a responsibility to have some credibility to reality, whether you are writing Green Lantern, Sandman, or any of the other WWII era sto What Total Nonsense.

I finally figured out what bugs me about this story. It doesn't matter.Batman Year one mattered because it was a new Batman after Infinite Crisis. This is just a story where the Joker kills a lot. We know where it is going to end. Crazy Joker who kills a lot.

We also get another story where Jim Gordon doesn't kill Joker. Again lather, rinse, repeat.

It just goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on. I don't even remember the main plot of this story or why I'm supposed to care. Batman is fighting who now? Anyway you slice it this convoluted story sucks. If you can't tell your story in 4 issues 6 max, then piss off.

not good... same old gotham and batman things...

Something almost absurdly comical about a CIA spook being so out of ideas that he decides the Amazons need to have a ritual where a mother points a gun at her daughter.

The opening feature was charming but King, as always, drags it down. The sooner he's fired the better.
