    Okay I don't hate this. It's not great. I liked the deconstruction of who Batman is and what Bruce Wayne truly believes. But having another story where some guy manages to kidnap and mentally manipulate Bruce Wayne is not really a plot device I can get behind. Sure in the real world that would be more believable if we had a vigilante and Legends is supposed to be Batman in his early years so he'd be less cautious of situations like this but Joe Schmo getting the drop on Batman then keeping him in a coma for six weeks is a little hard to believe in the wider context of the Batman. I like the idea of a Dickensian fever dream. Everything else wasn't my favorite.
