Bat-Man of China makes a surprising about-face in order to protect his sister, Alpaca, from the wrath of Ghost-Maker. Gray Wolf and Knight may hold the key to stopping Joker Incorporated…or have they just played right into Joker’s sinister plans?
Batman Incorporated #11 was an improvement on the last few issues. I'm genuinely excited to see how this one turns out! Read Full Review
All of the artists deliver fantastic art in the issue. The visuals are bright, brilliantly detailed and live up to the intensity of the story. Read Full Review
It's time for some big moves in the arc as Brisson kicked things off strongly before slowing down the pace too drastically on a story that reads best as a race against time. Hopefully next issue will see the arc get a needed adrenaline boost. Read Full Review
The seeming penultimate issue of Batman Incorporated continues to offer a lot of the same, but with some fascinating nuggets of thematics and characterization. Read Full Review
The art shift, with a different artist doing every segment, is a little surprising as well, but doesn't distract from the story. However, this very much feels like a filler issue packed with fights before the eventual resolution. Read Full Review
Batman Inc. is on the brink of fracture. While I love how much more the team has to do this arc, Ghost-Maker's actions prove that he should not be leading the team. As a matter of fact, Brisson has effectively buried Ghost-Maker as a reliable leader twice in a row. Consequently, his static development and inability to grow might destroy the team and the book itself. Not only is the concept of the Joker Inc. team shaky to begin with, but Brisson introduces and abandons ideas left and right. This includes the ill-conceived roulette, Dai Laffyn's gift, backstories, and whatever the Joker wants to accomplish in the first place. Overall, win or lose, Batman Inc. isn't going to last long.

Every issue of Batman Incorporated shows what an unfit leader Ghost-Maker is, but it doesn't seem to be intentional, and the multiple art teams combined with muddy coloring makes it difficult to appreciate any of the creative teams. Read Full Review
It's a shame that this book has only been at its best when it's coming to a close. Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed every issue of the series thus far, but this issue and the previous one were the best in the series so far, in my opinion, and we only have one more to go. This and Issue 10 have just felt smoother and the different stories/situations from each members/sub-group have felt more connected with the title's overarching plot, which was one of my biggest issues with the series. That said, I wasn't expecting Joker Incorporated to be this good. I certainly thought it would be interesting, but this has been a pretty cool story so far and I'm looking forward to seeing how everything wraps up in the next issue.
