I really felt tense, and nervous reading this chapter. My unease at the slow spreading of the cracks that have been within the team grew page by page. Every character is so well written and drawn, that I feel like my own family is slowly crumbling around me. Detective Comics is delivering on every level, and I'm loving every minute. I eagerly await the next issue, and can't wait to see how Batman gets out of this one! Read Full Review

This issues cliffhanger is major and threatens to undo one of the biggest developments since the start of the Rebirth era of the series. Its big and it almost assures that there will be some lasting changes for the team in the aftermath. Read Full Review

Buy as this story begins its connection to the whats is happening in the news right now, making it more relatable and enjoyable as well. Read Full Review

As "Fall of the Batmen" ramps up what looks like Detective's biggest arc yet, this issue delivers one brutal punch after each other as Batman heads into the belly of the beast. Read Full Review

Competent villains are always more entertaining than the ones that just smash and wreak havoc. James Tynion has created a problem for the Bat-family that cuts to the very core of their existence. Wonderfully looking issue and some nice buildup in the story. Batman seems surprisingly lost though, like his mind is elsewhere. Too much cat on the brain perhaps. Read Full Review

I have been a little worried that this storyline was going off the rails, but the creative team clamps down with this issue and starts the immediate build-up to something big and exciting! Read Full Review

I have said it before and from the beginning, Clayface has been my favorite in this team. He might be the heart of the team as Red Robin is the brain. The struggle of becoming a better person and Batman believing in home shows us that we all struggle with demons, but we all deserve a second chance. And if Batman comes for you to join his team what a great opportunity is that. Read Full Review

There are readers that will tear through this issue without a second thought and complain that it was lacking; but to those that take their time there is a story of real substance here, just waiting to be uncovered. Read Full Review

Once again, the psychological warfare of the Victim Syndicate shows its true strength in turning one of Batmans allies against him. Read Full Review

Detective Comics continues and this issue gets to a cliffhanger that I've dreaded for a while now and that was easily the highlight.  This book feels like it's running in place and while James Tynion continues to push the Victim Syndicate, he's not making them interesting enough for me to care.  Miguel Mendonca's art was really good, but pretty art doesn't always make a good issue.

This is one of the worst issues of Detective Comics I've ever read in 40 years of collecting. The script is slipshod. It's filled with over a dozen pages of talking heads repeating exposition and arguing over and over again in circles. The biggest battle in the book is never depicted happening entirely off-panel. It was a thankless task to read and review. When fans complain about books being padded for trade? This issue is exactly what they mean. Read Full Review

I'm hard on this issue, and it is the third part of an arc so the next section of the story needs to be set up, but this story should have ended when the Victim Syndicate first went away and I need this book to move on and be fresh again. Read Full Review

All in all, I recommend that you skip this issue as, to be perfectly honest, it doesn't really seem to go anywhere. You see, it's hard to get involved in a story whose villains are unconvincing and where the struggles are just straight-up uninteresting. Your money is better spent elsewhere. Read Full Review

Good issue. I enjoyed the lead up to entering the prison. But disappointed I didn't get a chance to see the Batman fight 100+ foes. Not one panel. Gonna keep me coming back for more tho.

So what to do to this arc of batman, one of my least favorite one !
To be honest this issue was better that my feeling on the last one.
I have only a question about the young reporter that we don't see after.
If Tim keep up to dissapointing me, Spoiler make a progress.
But I'm more related to cassie. She don't do much, but when she do, each time it's really helpfull. And her relation to Clayface is hearthbreaking.
And the people of gotham manifesting agains bat happen at the right timing for Doomsday clock.
Enven if it's not the same thing.

Cover - I take the variant. Not related to the story but much better than the regular 1/2
Writing - Tynion IV do the trick again ! Well done ! 2.5/3
Arts - I liked the art even if it was not the best. 2.5/3
Feeling - Last issue I have doubt to follow this ongoing, but this one make it clear, that this is still the better Rebirth & worth it ! 2/2 more

This was a good issue, full of threats and turmoil. Tim is finally called out on his bullshit and Batman takes the lead for the first time in a while in Detective. The victims syndicate shows the world its masterplan and poor Basil hits rock bottom. It's a LOT of event in a single issue, but it works very well without being clogged up with text and action. The Batman sure look like they're about to fall. The art is nice but the colors look a bit bland. Good enough read and entertaining,
