Batman Vol. 1: Failsafe Apr 6, 2023

No. Just no. What a terrible swerve that shows a complete lack of trust in your own story and the readership's intelligence.

A thin, generic plot with piss poor pacing. Characters at their most factory-setting versions (oh, a Wonder Woman written by Tom Taylor that's angry and emotional, what a surprise). Wants to trick you into thinking this world is more interesting than it is so you spend 9 issues setting up a conflict only to introduce a big dumb monster to fight in the third act. Zero originality, it copies from stories like Grant Morrison's JLA and the DCAU JL intro episodes (but with weaker writing). It's as dull as watching paint dry. And it commits the cardinal sin of any Elseworlds: it's scared of being an Elseworld story. Instead of really trying to make a story in a different genre, it chooses to give you the most generic repackaged JL story (they fight aliens! How novel!) with some reskinned characters.
