There’s no cure for terror! Gotham is in the grip of a citywide panic attack, and only Batman can stop the Scarecrow’s viral fear formula from falling into enemy hands. Meanwhile, Harley Quinn makes her ACN television debut...by taking station management hostage! New friends, new foes, and old flames collide as Bruce Wayne reclaims his cape and cowl—with a vengeance!—in the epic finale of Batman ‘89: Echoes.
Batman 89: Echoes #6 closes the book on this dark fairytale with style, teeth, and surprising emotional resonance. Sam Hamm delivers a fittingly gothic finale that honors the Burton legacy while daring to evolve it. By blending psychological horror with timely media commentary and old-fashioned cape-and-cowl action, this finale feels like the true third act we never got in theaters. And if this is Michael Keatons Batmans final bow on the page, its a damn good one. Read Full Review
Harley winds up standing out as the key villain, while this version of Ra's sort of falls flat. But overall, this story has a lot going for it but winds up being somewhat undone by its own massive ambition. Read Full Review
Batman: Echoes #6 is a jumbled mess of an issue with beautiful art. It is a shame that the script does not let the art shine. A disappointing ending to a mini-series that also suffered massive delays. Read Full Review
Despite great art, Batman '89 Echoes #6 struggles to reach a satisfying conclusion for fans of the both the miniseries and the original Burton films. Read Full Review
Batman '89 Echoes #6 sadly continues the trend that this whole series has followed stuffing as many references as they can in the hopes that something will work out. Some of it does like the depiction of Harley, but most of it doesn't. Batman goes from the centerpiece to a sideshow attraction in what is meant to be a series focused on him (notice how he doesn't even get a mention in this review) as the series seemed determined to keep him out of the cowl and out of focus. In the end, it can be hard to tell whose story this is except maybe Sam Hamm's. Read Full Review
Well the art was really nice. The writing and plot were just kinda all over the place though. I did enjoy reading it with the original movie actors' voices (for characters that were in it.) Other than drawing them to resemble the actors and one line from Catwoman about being held back, there wasn't much that really connected the characters or plot to the Burton movies though.
