    The Super Powered Fancast - Deron Generally Jul 25, 2023

    A great Elseworlds style story that hits all the beats that make the character of Batman unique and compelling. Read Full Review

    Geek Dad - Ray Goldfield Jul 25, 2023

    This is a decent done-in-one story, but the villain is a little too reminiscent of Zsazs and other brutish Batman villains to feel like he'll be a major player. Read Full Review

    AIPT - David Brooke Jul 25, 2023

    A mix of superheroes, new villains, and new takes on Batman make Batman: The Brave and the Bold #3 a great addition to the anthology series. With the majority of tales ending, it feels like we're at a crossroads, but far be it from me to argue against a fantastic Stormwatch series as a great idea to tether future stories onto.

    You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff Jul 28, 2023

    The sharp and stylish anthology series continues to find a variety of different appealing angles on action and drama in the DC Universe. Brissons Stormwatch series has been entertaining enough that it could easily fit under its own title with the current creative team. Not everythings brilliant, but it all fits together quite well in a package that feels like it could keep going and even potentially introduce entirely new features with marginal characters that could lead to something bigger down the road.  Read Full Review

    Dark Knight News - Davydh Tidey Jul 29, 2023

    Yet another strong entry into the Bat-verse, Batman: The Brave & The Bold #3 brings some interesting new perspectives on long-established characters. So far, this series has been a cut above the usual ongoing anthology titles, and it doesn't look like that will be changing any time soon. Read Full Review

    Batman-News - Jackson Luken Jul 25, 2023

    Aside from the first one, every story in this collection manages to successfully do what it sets out to. Stormwatch continues its action filled missions, Superman explores the importance of memory, and Batman fights a vampire lord in a gothic Gotham. Batman: Brave and the Bold #3 continues the series' pattern of offering up a satisfactory collection of tales. Read Full Review

    Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez Jul 26, 2023

    Batman: The Brave And The Bold #3 delivers a mixed bag of one-off shorts and continuing chapters to give you a little DC variety in your life. Jorge Molina's Manga-inspired Batman short is gorgeous, but Christopher Cantwell's finale to his Golden Age Superman story is shockingly miserable. Read Full Review

    The Batman Universe - Sean MacNeil Jul 29, 2023

    I found two of the four stores entertaining, but it was the two smallest. With the subtraction of the on going Tom King story and the nonsensical construction of the comic, I found it a frustrating read. Read Full Review
